No! they only tested, and by that logic, it must also be added in the tank/heli tree due to US Army testing it as well

+1 extremely cool

+1, as a unique aircraft for the British TT. Similarly to the Tigershark, I think this aircraft (since it was a developmental prototype/testbed) should only go to the nation that manufactured/built it, in this case Britain.

Seeing as currently, there’s a rather wide variety of Legacy Harriers in a few TTs (with possibilities for more foreign-operated ones), it would be preferable if the most unique Harrier family member (and also one of the ones that started it all) stayed with the UK TT.

I agree, we could maybe have it as a 8.0 battlepass/event fighter with its high manoeuvrability and TVC

Would make sense, and would be a pretty easy way to sort of revive the BP system

With a prototype that is unique from the production version and maybe, maybe can have a special coupon that unlocks it for the other 2 nations that tested it

I will say no to this one, since it seems to be similar to Harrier GR.1 but with questionable weapons capabilities and worse flight performance.

Should be about the same but can go at 8.0/3 where it would be pretty balanced, it doesn’t have much agility due to current Harrier 1 FMs but could go up as the FM is improved

That’s not how this game works dude

I know but if he’s suggesting for the all 3 nations then it would also be a US Army jet

No

Does that mean the US Heli tree could get both an F-5A and G.91?

:D

Yes

+1 only if it gets gun pods and no missiles, if so then perfect 9.0 plane

Not quite 9.0, 8.3/8.7 but with proper Harrier FM it would be 9.0 worthy. Remember it also has a much weaker engine then the GR.1

It wouldn’t be able to TVC above like 250 knots.

Proper harrier flight models and proper kestrel model I would still want it no more than 8.7.

For air combat it’s still limited by its high wing loading and will have no capability to off set that with thrust vectoring (not that thrust vectoring offsets the wing loading in war thunder anyways due to poor modeling of it)

It’ll have to fight in the vertical.

Except more than a whole br step down. Along with it being in 3 nations as a unique strike aircraft.
