Yeah, those would be hilarious to use.
I have come across some more really cool data about the Harriers.
Their instantiations turn should be able to match and beat the F-16 almost. A clean almost empty F16 at that.

The only real upgrade Brimstone 2s provide is range and that is pretty much pointless if they remain SALH
Is this gen 1 or 2 harriers?
But with 30km TGP increase, that range would be more usable
The Harrier 1 was F-16 level the Harrier 2 is even better.
The Data I have is specific to the Harrier Gr.3 but it translates to them all as VIFF was a scientific anomaly. Was legit so good the scientists could not believe the results after IRL tests.

Ah I see, so it’s not a definitive release date and can be much sooner/later depending on how things go. Thanks for the clarification!
No problem, glad I could clarify :)
It is possible for it to come later, but Next Tuesday is about as early as it could come. Gaijoobles doesn’t seem to like launching majors on Mondays, it seems.

It would seem so lol
alrighty, well, have a good day :)
The harriers only downsides was its limited speed and the fuel consumption.
Other then that it was a perfect aircraft
You too, buddy!

I dont think they had an overly excessive fuel consumption but rather a fairly limited internal store of fuel and external tanks had a notable impact on performance.
In the SHars case. Biggest issue was lack of look down radar and limited weapon stores. As well as the lack of supersonic flight.

The Speed was only an issue when pursuing a supersonic enemy.
Its fuel endurance time in a dogfight would be considered at least 3X greater than threat aircraft of similar era.
In the Shars case the only draw back would have been look down radar and stand off weapons as @Morvran just stated.
However by the time of the FA.2 the only limitation was weapons carrying capacity.
Greatest of all was the MODs lack of cash lol.

Never underestimate the british government’s ability to cut military funding
Never underestimate gaijin to “balance decision” you favourite aircraft

I am thinking about creating another tread specific to VIFF but I have made so many threads I dont know if I should.
The Sea Harrier FA.2 even at 13.0 would be very dangerous in dogfights if VIFF was modeled.

Lol If the Harrier was accurate it would have 4th gen performance at 9.7
I think you should make one. Gaijin might not bother changing anything but it doesn’t hurt to try.
I think I have started to get to them they are doing a massive buff this next major.
However its still not even close to IRL lol.
The harriers feel good in thrust vector mode from what i can tell in the dev server
Add the BOL to the T.10 and honestly this is the greatest update, ever?
KFir C.10 got its window fixed!
Harriers got a flight model fix (actually usable now!)
And we got a trainer harrier
So far its almost perfect
