Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

It’s planned to receive Phimat. So it will have 60 internal + 216 Chaff.

Screw it a perfect 11.3 premium would be a post Falkland’s Gr.3 with AIM9Ls, AGM 45 Shrike, and Phimat

I guess thats a start, but BOL seems like a more realistic, appropriate and balanced option

Thats cool,

BOL for the heavier, slower, less thrust, worse air-to-ground version of the 11.3 american version (or br drop to 11.0)

i assume you want people to pre-order this right?

People spesifcally asked for a Harrier premium for the British tree with guided ordinance like the AV-8B NA . Making it an event negates that purpose.

Why not add an actual combat aircraft that fits what the players asked for?
Say the 107 fitted Gr.5 that was an experimental aircraft.

The Trainer Harrier is pretty niche.

Does this harriers have the rearwards MAW?

The AV-8B NA has 180 CM (the closest equivalent) and similar loadouts, the T.10 currently only has 60 at the same BR. The GR.7 is relevant due to being lighter and having IRCC missiles

This is an actual combat aircraft. All Harrier T.10s are combat capable. Its the closest fit to what was requested.

No GR.5 variant ever had a targeting pod.

Did you guys increase the minimum weight of SU 30SM? Because after latest dev update it feels even more sluggish compared to previous 0.25 version @Smin1080p_WT

The GR5 never had a TGP, T.10 has the full GR.7 combat suit

Looks like it, it has the same MAW as the GR.7 which should mean that it gets sensor fusion.

Thst’s nice then, would negate a little bit of the lack of BOL but still, i see no reason that the pods are even being left off

Its currently 11.7 in ground RB

with:
less air to ground kit
less countermesures
worse flight performance (its heavier AND slower)
and its not even getting its correct BOL kit

Look at this lol.

It will have even more than the AV-8B NA as it will have Phimat with an additional 216 chaff + 60 internal.

The Vector indicator does not function.

Yeah just testing it in the dev server and it does get sensor fusion. Just wish the MAW’s wouldn’t just drop all the flares for 1 missile. Even with Phimat and taking 60 flares it doesn’t seem worth it to keep the MAW’s on. It needs BOL honestly and just adding Phimat and call it “Balancing” feels like a cop out.

if you gave it BOL, its actually a home run swing as a premium in the same role as the AV8B NA

Trade flight performance and less weaponry for a better electronics suite of MAW and 700 countermesures

I dont see how it having BOL is causing a problem, especially since the harriers engines are incorrectly modeled (front thrust points are cold air IRL, but act as hot air ingame)

Bit cheeky that you can’t allocate between flare and chaff due to the Phimat, yknow a problem fixed by adding just a couple of BOL rails… =D
