Along with Gr.9 and blue vixen. And many many other things I cannot think of.
Need that Spitfire upgraded with Blue Vixen too

And the Scimitar.
What’s wrong with the GR.9?
There was plans to fit the blue vixen from the Sea Harrier to the Harrier II when it was retired in 2006 that never came about. If the Gr.9 got upgraded it would’ve been even better than the AV-8B+.

I mean it can understand why they didn’t do it, the Harrier GR was meant purely for ground strikes so spending extra money on making it having a radar without it needing one for the role it was doctrinally mean for
Hey sorry for beating the dead horse (slat fix) here but does the manoeuvre switch work exactly? If it’s separate from the flap settings like this chart implies, then it should deploy the slats AND flaps automatically in a turn (obv if the wing position allows flaps), right? This crossed my mind because of the automatic flaps in the su-27

Is there any chance we can get upgrades to the BOZ pods? I’ve read that there is an upgrade that allows for them to have five BOL/BOP rails in them, along with MAWS and IRCM systems. This would be a great buff for the IDS tornados, now that MAWS and IRCM are on other aircraft.

I believe you mean the BOZ-EC, that’s more of a GR.4 thing.

Thanks, I saw a source saying they were used on the Italian IDS, so wasn’t sure if that would mean GR.1 or GR.4.
Oh damn the ferry tanks. Well if they do an event where we need to go from Cyprus to over Iraq… maybe?

Even without these you probably could go cross country. The fuel efficiency of these engines when not after burning is always a bit insane.
If they can still be jettison, then maybe in SB. Especially if they ever add larger EC maps. They’ll be needed. Current tanks still require a degree of fuel management for a full sortie. Especially if you go for 2 targets
I still would like to see more maps like the channel map between Dover and Calais. A Cyprus to Iraq map would work I guess.
I know this isn’t the place but I’m going need help or have someone bug report the sea harriers radar. It doesn’t have it’s of mode anymore which I know its wrong but don’t have any documents so anyone know anything about it?
the harrier thread propably is the better place for that BAe Sea Harrier - Technical data and discussion - #555 by HyJetV
I wouldn’t mind the hindenburg fuel tanks. Just for meme value.

I’d take them just for the look tbh
This would be a nice change, doubt we will see it for a while though: Tornado F.3 - Missing LPI radar mode
