I turn to avoid it and then what?
Cannot catch it.
Shoot a missile at it?
It can simply out energy the missile.
You will always be on the defensive against it. The speed difference is that vast.
The only thing you can do is hope to catch it off guard when it is slow, but if the 104 keeps it speed, you cannot do anything.
Out of the harrier Gr1, Gr3, AV-8A and AV-8C. The US premium AV-8A is the best with 4x the cm count of the others. But equal in other respects to the Gr3.
Gr1 is probably the weakest of the 4 with no CMs at all
Sea harrier FRS1 and FRS1e are fairly decent at least they would be if they ever finished them.
Harrier Gr7 would be the superior ground attack aircraft over the AV-8B(NA) or AV-8B+ if they fixed outstanding bug reports like missing AGM-65 or the gen 1 Tpod. ( In GRB, in ASB, the 10x JDAM payload is a tad OP)
In air combat it holds some advantages over them with a bigger cm load and better AAMs to the AV-8B(NA) but overall weaker to the AV-8B+ due to no radar or AMRAAM.
Sea Harrier FA2 has potential to be marginally stronger than the AV-8B+ (much larger cm load and a better radar in the FA2) but it’s so poorly modeled that it’s not.
In the future the harrier Gr9A will be the superior ground attack variant.
Vampire is held by both sweden and italy, originally it was italy when it comes to CAS as it got bombs, gaijin just added another vampire with bombs via finland and also forgot the rest of their equipment.
After constantly being terrorized by the Hunter F.58, I would like to see this plane moved up to 10.0. The fact that has great missiles, countermeasures, all while facing planes that it massively out speeds, is insane. All while at the same BR as the much more limited F.6, its blatantly biased in favor of the plane that can be easily purchased.
If the Hunter F.58 went to 10.0 it would be useless since almost all common enemies have flares, and its flight performance would go from ok to quite bad.
The BRs are too compressed to move it up. It is good, but moving it up will make it quite bad. Good luck facing a Mig-21bis in it lmao.
