Yes it is @Morvran (the air sim brit main guy) has pointed it out to me before when we’ve discussed the aircraft.
Its airframe is essentially identical to the AV8b (NA) premium coming into the game and and AV8b+ in the US tree (with a camera instead of a radar) it theoretically should be able to carry six sidewinders.
The ASRAAM missile that’s now used by the Eurofighter typhoon and Australian Fa18 Hornet were trialled and officially equipped to the GR7 for service as well, we could get a better missile than the 9M however it would be game breakingly overpowered.
here’s evidence. Gunjob put in a report back in September of last year but nothing has come of it
im so sorry for the stupidly long reply! but very intresting, also yea the asraam would be op… but it would be funny for the gr7 to be the only plane in the game with it
so another wierd example of gaijin cucking the harrier for some godforsaken reason? like ever since the gr1 performed well gaijin seemed to of done everything in its power to nerf the british harriers into the ground
(also the sea harrier fa2 shouldnt be the same br as a harrier 2 with the same loadout. be rather cool actually if it went to like 13.0 and got asraams or smth dumb like that)
but oh well, not sure what happened with the new F111C and F111F and why they are the same br of the Tornado?
