BOL is not planned for the T.10 as a balance decision. It will be a lower BR than GR.7.

so that balance puts it at, 11.0 airRB?

nice

Hopefully 10.7, how many CMs does it get without BOL?

wait so the AV8B (NA) gets 180 counter mesures and the combat airframe at the same rating that the T.10 is with 60?

and youre not giving it BOL for “balance”

This dev team is unreal my god???

Oh that’s disappointing

Relax no insults lol, however it seems foolish to me as well.

The Trainer airframe is already at a disadvantage and this will make it worse.

If more CMs count as a ‘balancing decision’ then surely the tech tree Netz can go down to 12.3 right?

Dont forget its also only got the Mk.105 engine while the AV-8B NA gets the 107

Bigger heavier airframe, worse engine, less counter measures, less weapons = same Br as its british

And it would still be a lower BR than the GR.7 since it has 9L’s not 9M’s. Also the AV-8B(NA) that is at the same BR get’s 180CM’s, same missiles, and better FM due to it being single seat.

Also BOL CM’s being far weaker than they should be means you need more CM’s to defeat a missile so the increased amount of CM’s with BOL is countered out by the fact that you need to use far more CM’s. So in reality adding BOL to the T.10 would make it equal to the AV-8B(NA). Also since it’s a Harrier and the IR signature is still broken 60CM’s might let you flare maybe 3 or 4 missiles from behind and that’s it.

If it doesn’t get BOL it should be dropped in BR.

Yeah I seriously doubt that. I don’t see them putting it lower than the FRS.1 and AV-8S Late?

so its got LESS thrust the the AV8B NA, LESS countermesures, ITS HEAVIER, WORSE Air-To-Ground.

but no BOL for balance, whist remaining at the same BR

Correct

It should be an event vehicle.

Same amount of CMs, equivalent FM, same amount and type of missiles, they are both pretty similar

Yep, so why would they put a similar aircraft at a lower BR?

Both the FRS.1 and 8S Late are 11.0

those are 11.0

If this was 11.0, i would have no complaining.

But the CM has called “balance” whilst having it be considerably worse EVEN if it got the BOL at 11.3

11.0 is more warranted than my initial suggestion, however harriers really aren’t anything special at that BR anyway
