It was also said that it will be in the next major update after leviathans
A JH-7 appeared in multiple leak lists starting from dance of the dragons, so basically the one in game without guided CAS weapons. Not sure how it would fit in, since most top tier premium attackers sacrifices A2A instead of A2G and are meant to serve premium GRB vehicles.
Huh I see, one more patch with the OTOMATIC and it may rest
Anything mentioned by BVV was talking about our plans in general. That is, not specific to just this major update and not 100% confirmed for certain at this stage beyond what he has said. Some things may be related to later updates.

Smin didn’t outright deny it, so I guess there’s still hope
CAESAR would be a good intermediate, as it was trialled, ready for full scale rollout, and was availible from I think Tranche 2 with no additional wiring needed, you literally just unplugged the CAPTOR-M and replaced it with CAESAR.
BVVD did tho
As far as I know it’s apparently being worked on as per what they said in the dev stream, may or may not come this update
Ok, thanks. I already did a few, so all that is left is waiting.
HMD, HUD, and Radar were datamined. I figure now is the perfect time since it was one of the two carriers of the AIM-26 in US service.
I’m actually a little surprised they haven’t added the F-102 yet, at least two trees could get it.

Harrier gr7 can use sniper I think
Gr7, Gr9 and Typhoon.
(though fun-fact, they bought the tpods, they didnt buy the intergration for the Harrier. So whilst the aircraft recognised it had a tpod equipped. It thought it was a TIALD, so none of the buttons did what they said they did)

Thanks, do you know how much better it is that TIALD?
TIALD is currently modeled as Gen 1 (should be gen 2) and has terrible zoom. Sniper is like Gen 3 or 4 with excellent zoom.
If you have Tornado Gr4 or Typhoon. its better than the Litening III

I, do not.
Light shells have less pen at range, drag does not increase linearly, so the faster you shove it out the barrel does not mean more pen at any significant range, this is why Italy and France had both a high MV, and a heavy shell, doesn’t matter how fast you shove them out the barrel, Roma and Richelieu have both heavier shells, and faster MV than Vanguard or Bismarck. Vanguard has heavier shells (still lighter than Roma and Richelieu) and a high-er MV (lower than Roma Richelieu and Bismarck), giving her more pen at range, she also has better ballistic (i.e drag negating) capping to aide here too.
The primary factor for penetration at range of battleship calibre shells is shell weight and then on a level not really represented in war thunder, shell quality and ballistic/AP capping.
This isn’t any bias or anything really, Bismarcks and Vanguards shells just aren’t that good ballistically compared to Richelieu and Roma’s. The advantage for these guns should be accuracy, Roma and Richelieu struggled to hit in the same post-code even when their shell quality was more or less perfect, Germany did very well to combine high MV with a relatively good dispersion pattern, however this is primarily because they used twins rather than triples. The UK would be even worse off than Bismarck if they hadn’t started designing a 15"/45 superheavy for the KGV class with triples with a higher MV and supercharges at only a minor cost of accuracy, those supercharges were then made interchangeable with Vanguard to improve her penetration.
I might actually use harrier more if it gets this 🙏
Id guess they are saving it for one of the “upgrades” for the Gr9A, which both makes sense but is also a bit of a shame.

We could get gr9 this update with 6 9ms and the gps stuff, I’m desperate for new British plane like hawk or mordern harrier.
Yeah but another upgrade are the brimstones, you sure you gonna use SAL?
