Hawk i think is the best option, we need a 10.7 to fill the void between 10.3 and 11.3
So hawks are sub-sonic, with a decent compliment of AAMs. Would be perfect.

Yeah looks like it got an extra 2300lbs of thrust or so
How much performance that offers idk.
So why did Gaijin never finish the chaff pods?
Well we know Gaijin is working on flares/chaff.
I think it should be a 10.7 jet but will get 11.0 because if it’s ground capabilities.
They are there in the game I have seen them in the Dev server with my own eyes.
It would be something useful to fill the extra slots on the jag. Plus I can carry more flares if the pods are present.
The Phimat chaff pod was actually on the live server for all of about 2 hours, but if you equipped it you got a big nasty error message about a server error occurring. It got removed and it’s not been seen since.

As far as I know, Phimat pod is a chaff dispenser, no flares.
And I wonder why, it’s there for a long time and is not like we don’t have Chaff pods. What’s the difference between it and the others? lol
Tornado Gr1 should have 56 flares and 1200 chaff. The issue is how the game handles CMs as a single entity. Once seperated into 2. Then we could see the addition of additional flare/chaff pods to aircraft.
There’s that, I think all the other chaff dispensers we have are on flareless aircrafts…
We will* see.
Also it’s 56 flares or chaff + 1200 chaff.
Theoretically can have 1256 chaff if you really want.
Yes correct
But this means you keep all your flares in the pods below the engines and have the rails do chaff. So you get to keep more of your flares.

Im not sure on this. Think it was flares only in the flare tubes, due to their large calibre. But someone else will have to confirm that. @Flame2512? Do you know?
Also no “we will see” about it. That is its historical amount. Only cant be done due to game limitations that are being worked on currently
I thought you were talking about the Gr.1 for some reason haha sry
I’m not aware of any 55 mm chaff cartridges compatible with the BOZ pod.

Thought that was the case. Ta!
With the new Sea Harrier being 10.3, surely the Jag should now get Ls?

The issue is the same. Jaguar Gr1A with only Aim-9s is a lot faster in the a straight line than the Harrier, Mach 0.9 vs Mach 1.1. The concern would be that they could be used to zip about. I’d personally not be too concerned, if downtiers werent a thing.
The better option I think should be too give it SRAAM, especially if/when they get buffed. They could be quite potent and by all accounts, should be able to go onto the Jagaurs without much issues

truth be told, i really doubt that giving the GR.1A 9Ls would make it broken,
its flight model seems broken, sure it can do mach 1.1 but it needs a lot of effort to get there, you’ll otherwise be spending most of your time in the same speed bracket as the harrier which climbs, turns and accelerates much better (which also has a radar)
the game at that br bracket has far outgrown the 9Gs, especially for the slower aircraft like the jag.
however if what morvan is saying is true (As in SRAAMS working on a jag) then id prefer if those got fixed first, then added to the jag and then we can talk about upping its br.
