He’s meaning how it turns on the ground, as opposed to the animation
A wide number of planes in-game act like they have it, being able to turn via the rudder keys at low ground speeds. Some aircraft, primarily the early A-4s (basically every one aside from the Ayit) and Hawk 200s can only turn via differential braking at low speeds (meaning applying both brakes and using the rudder keys).
The Hawk 200s should be able to turn the first way, since they have actual nosewheel steering IRL (and technically so should the A-4H of the Israeli tree, since it’s an A-4F sub variant)

Yes this is what I meant, if you try to steer the Hawk 209 while in the ground using only rudder input, it would barely turn, unlike say the A-4E for example
Better late than never, the Hawk 209 cockpit inaccuracies bug report is now up:

Has the flight model still not been fixed?

Haha goofy, a British plane with a correct flight model??? What do you think this is real life??
Wait, but it’s not just a British plane. It’s also a Japan pack that Gaijin are selling for 70e.
That’s insane, but like look at all the premium harrier packs too. Harriers performance is like 1/10 of its IRL performance. Its British.

Joke take: what if we just handed over the schematic to McDonnell Douglas and was
In that alternative reality…
I doubt it it’s NATOS vtol it made the Yak look bad.
Gaijin must cope
(Art Nalls who flew both the 38 and AV-8A once said the harrier would stomp the 38. I posted this as a picture and it was removed for being offensive)

Yeah, but there are also 5 premium harriers and they still won’t even fix things like the sooty exhaust

That’s a lie we all know the exhaust is sooty when it hovers. So it must be sooty all the time.
Water injection has no effect on soot.

Hello everybody! I want to ask: will the snails add the Hawk 200 RDA Aden mk.4 30mm gunpod? I don’t even mind if I make his BR higher

No, they claim that the gunpood is not compatible with the prototype version of the Hawk 200

RDA still has no skyflashes stock?

Rank VII. So no. Phantoms are just as screwed by it. Its dumb.
I wonder if the F3 is going to lose skyflash DFs stock because its moved to rank VII. I think all Rank VII should just get limited SARH stock.
Iırc when it was first introduced as rank 7 it didn’t have stock skyflashes so most likely that is the case.
Thank god I spaded many years ago so I dont have to deal with this BS again.
