Could we get a premium Harrier GR.5 with the Pegasus 11-61 engine next update?
A GR.5 is not currently planned anytime soon. It cant use any targeting pod and is not the most ideal candidate right now.
I’d rather have a Kestrel tbh
the f-35 looks best from below to me.
i dont find the f-35 completely ugly, but definietly not as good as F-22

The US got the AV 8B NA when it already has plenty of premiums and Britain is in need of a top tier strike premium
Why not the GR7A then?
The Harrier GR.5 you mentioned is not an equivalent to the AV-8B NA. It cant carry a TP and lacks almost all of the guided munitions.
We don’t exclude the possibility of other options.

But it can use the AGM 65Ds and AIM 9Ls which would be plenty
Old or lastest leak ? 🧐
They all look best from below with the weapons bay overflowing IMO, the F-35 just looks more robust or utilitarian to me, and that is the sort of look I prefer in a jet, it’s why the F/A-18 is my favorite US 4th gen, and I’ve always loved the Harriers, though there is some national pride at play there too
I guess but it would have a very high BR for a strike premium
The equivalent to AV-8B Day Attack, I think
And pre Night Attack upgrade (Litening targeting pod and JDAM)
Similar to Harrier GR.9/GR.9A, but very good premium pack rank 8 attack aircraft top tier for british
2025 Roadmap when?
lol XD
I’m not paying $80 for a premium strike aircraft, $70 is already a lot of money

Finally, the F/A-18 is coming to War Thunder. However, I’m afraid that the ordinary Hornet will not perform well in the current meta of top tier Air RB. Perhaps the Super Hornet would be much more suitable?
Personally, premium attack aircraft in rank 8 might cheaper fighter aircraft
I’ve always thought it’s more of an affectionate nickname just loosely based on the F-35 compared to 4th gen designs. I never really saw it as anything too serious
