Hawk 200 Technical Discussion The Fighting Hawk

Magic Series has been reported, but a report doesnt mean they will be fitted. Loadouts are always a balancing decision and as it stands, there is a debate whether it would be best served getting downgraded from 9Ls to 9Gs, Magic 1s or SRAAMs with an accompanying BR change.

Many aircraft have bug reports for weapons they do not have such:

Phantom FGR2/FG1 having 9Ls and Skyflash SuperTEMPS
Jaguar GR1A having 9Ls
Tornado Gr1 having Aim-9M
Tornado Gr1 getting IR PGMs
Sea Harrier FRS1 haivng Aim-9M
Tornado F3 Late having Aim-120C5s
Tornado Gr4 getting Brimstone 2
Typhoon getting Brimstones 2s (and about a dozen GBUs)
Harrier Gr7 getting ePaveway II

:Shrug: weapons are always a balancing decision first, and you’ll note the “/” between Magic and Magic 2
There’s just as much of a chance of Gaijin accepting the Magic part instead of the Magic 2 part

The current FM feels very unfinished and wobbly, I hope they make it more stable.

If you pull high AoA its basically impossible to roll at all, if you do, you lose control

Even so, im yet to lose a dogfight in it on the dev server

I gave you the sources for you to read. I don’t have to do everything you know, it’s not always convenient for me to drop what I’m doing and go read through a bunch of documents.

But if you want I could just not bother going out of my way to find information for you in the future.

Hawk 200 - Sustained turn rate far too low

Good reporting.

I watched MatAWG’s video on a new flight model and it seemed a bit off, so I did a bit of digging myself.

There is a DTIC / British Aerospace paper describing various upgrades made to the Hawk 200. Here’s the link: https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/tr/pdf/ADP005614.pdf

Some of the more notable snippets are as attached screenshots.

Combined with an official manual, especially if we can get anything close to an E/M chart for either the Hawk 200 or the Hawk T.1A (maybe even for something like T-45 Goshawk) then we can make a pretty decent guess as to how the Hawk 200 should perform overall.

Yet I am in an interesting situation now, as a ROKAF interpreting officer, working for APEC 2025 at the moment. So, if I could, I wish to ask @Flame2512 to check the source out.

I thank you in advance.

Looks like it has a radar in that proper radome and seems like the plane could get 4 Skytrash

Guess i might as well get around to grinding the strike line :D

Jags and Harriers can be fun (though better suited for ASB not ARB)

I have been staring at this screenshot for hours

I am at peace

THIS ⬆️

I had a lot of fun with GR.7 in sim, mostly doing A2G ops on assaults and convoys

I just remembered about a deleted video that has the Hawks doing air strike training, utilizing the FZ rockets and the Aden gun pod (same video that has the latest Paveway drop from Su-30MKM)

What are the chances of this Hawk arriving in this Spearhead update?

Hopefully it comes in this update, I would be very sad to have to wait any longer.
