This. Especially without apg79 and no bol pods.
From what I have seen source wise the F-18 is not underperforming bye that large a margin.
Missing like 1 deg/S.
At an unknown speed.
Lmfao that’s like not even that far off.
Harrier on other hand is missing almost 1G str through the flight range
Has no pitch augmentation with VIFF
And the virtual instructor limits its AOA to below buffet conditions 16.5 AOA vs 21 as stated to be max load value in the AV-8A manual.
After all that it’s still capable to dance with the likes of the F-18 after the dev buff

Thats… spesifically what the Harrier T.10 is for?
Sea Harrier is a more Air-to-Air focused Harrier. T.10 fills the role of a premium ground attack.

Btw, what about Harrier II?
That’s why I said it it’s only for a smaller community.
AV-8B na on the other hand fills both play styles well
As in?
Does it perform correctly?
Have not tested it extensively yet after dev buff but the acceleration seems about correct.
I will compare to the E-M diagrams after it goes live.
It is severely limited in AOA however.
And ability to VIFF does not exist
viffing with av8c to get behind enemies mid-dogfight and then killing them with 9G is awesome
I agree except irl VIFF can allow the Harrier to slow down and change its pitch rate to an extraordinary degree.
In game it doesn’t do much.
Just wait till live lol the harriers at 9.7 will eat easy.
I hope we see a H-S Harrier T2 trainer in the future too at something like 9.3 without missiles, would be a cool CAS plane there imo ^^.
so by that logic, will the harrier T.10 go down to 11.0 in AirRB? they perform very similar with the Shar having the edge in a dogfight. and with everything mentioned in the T.10 being a worse AV8B(NA) in an air to air role

This is the point I am getting to.

Ground attack capabilities still play some role in ARB BRs too. T.10 has significantly more strike capability than Shar.
be careful, itll be “no countermesures for balance reasons”
damn i hate thats even a feature. why are we using “no BOL” as a balance feature. Literally give the T.10 BOL and move it up in BR??? why are we not making stuff “accurate and by the doccuments” all of a sudden?

Im framing this and putting on my wall.

If strike capability plays a role in BR for ARB, could you also make it play a role in the gameplay itself?
