Pre-order: AV-8B Night Attack

9M is still quite flarable, people are just less aware of IR missiles at the BRs you start to really see them, its a significant upgrade but the 9L is still mighty. I don’t think the BRs should be so different

My goodness! It only took 8 years for War Thunder to catch up with DCS’s monetization

@Stona_WT Something important that you could add to the information in the store or in the news about the new premium vehicles would be to indicate the BR of each vehicle according to the battle (AB/ RB/ SB).

For example, I would like to know what the rating will be in air simulation battles, none (exactly none) streamer was kind enough to inform me when the devserv was open.

In addition, please tell me if you have any plans to increase the range of the targeting pod, since today they are limited to 20 kilometers and for JDAMS IT IS CRUCIAL (VITAL) in simulation the range of the targeting pod be changed to at least 30 kilometers.

Please give more consideration to air simulation players.

brs are mostly just guesses on the dev server and some vehicles get extreme br changes E.B.R. (1954) with the long 75mm gun and auto-loader went from 4.0 -4.3 all the way to 6.7

we buy shoes in the store without knowing if they will fit our feet.

what? were do you buy shoes? trying them on is like 95% of the shopping time

At Gaijin…lol - it was a metaphor!

The AV-8B NA’s “thrust vector” is not as animated as the others. The engine output continues to point backwards even when 100% of the vector is activated.

That’s hilarious given it should Point slightly forward at 100%

I think a little adjustment will do him good. Let’s wait for them to see my message (a few days or weeks, perhaps).

hey gang so why was this premium? it seems like a tree aircraft, i think if you wanted to make it premium it should have been a unique squadron, like how the challenger 1 premium is from desert storm

Almost unplayable after rising BR in GRB, most of time uptiered against supersonics fighters with fox3

skill issue combined with what did you expect?

it was clear from the beginning its a main cas plane and it wont be good in air to air combat
and the br change for ground br (that put fighters on a much lower br bracket than in air rb ) also happened way before the av8b premium launched

and i said skill issue because a subsonic harrier will never outrun a mig29 or even a f4 phantom you have to fly sideways compared to the mig29 to prevent getting seen on the pulse Doppler radar
and then get close to fight

some other thing to point out is the harrier has a reversed trust to speed curve
while pretty much every jet starts slow and gains more and more trust at higher speed or at mach 1 the harrier is the opposite it has the most trust at low to zero speed and being slow also means you have a much better turn rate and the goal is to energy trap the enemy

I just said that AV8B NA should not meet fox3 supersonic fighters in GRB, it is wrong and need to be changed, it supposed to fight with SPAA.
Tip 4 u meki98: before lecturing someone here how to play WT, compare his stats and yours and his K/F 1.86 against yours 0.78, mb u shoud ask him how play better? =\

Stona, do you know when it will become available on sale?

Mid next year.

Thanks for the update.

If you did read my comment properly I didn’t Lecture you on how to Play warthunder I tried to give tips on how to Play the Harrier take it or leave it

Assuming the update/sales schedule stays the same, there are actually different possibilities here:

If the december update is released before the sales, the AV-8B (NA) will be 50% off.
If not, it will be 30% off in May (and 50% off in October next year).

[Edit]: I completely forgot it’s a pack so, it might be on sale in December, but it’s not certain at all. Pack sales are harder to predict (I can’t), so it’s when Gaijin feels like it should go on sale. But not in the next one (Right after the SL/GE vehicles sale). Sorry about the confusion.
