Sea Harrier FA2 flair pods dont work

The flair pods on the sea harrier dont give any additional flairs as soon as you pair them with aim9 missile

do you have all the Mods unlocked or are you part of the way through the stock grind?

There is a very common problem with many aircraft that you need several different mods for one of the mods to work. Usually the Flare/Chaff mod and the Flares/chaff BOL mod.

You have to make a few custom loadouts for it to work

they dont work when making the loadout about 50% of the time at the moment

I dont know whats worse. The fact that is still an issue in WT, or that im not surprised the FA2 is affected by it. In any case, BOL barely works well enough to be worth equipping half the time

I’ve seen it 2 times in my life

In-game or IRL?

In game

fox 3s are uncounterable a lot but I’ve been saved by spamming a billion flares and chaff a lot today as I’ve been stock grinding it

I quite like it, Its lower BR is nice and I love the FA2. But I cant stand its nerfed state

  • BOL
  • RWR
  • Cockpit HUD
  • Heat Sig

Just makes it unfun. Cant wait for it to be at least partially finished ot take into sim, where it and the AV-8B+ can AMRAAM in 12.0-13.0 matches

Yeah, but that spam should be unncessary, Its a real shame

I can’t stand the small winged harrier flight models.

The GR-7/8B+ flight models are great

But basically a GR-1 with improved engines?

Just no

I dont really mind it, Yeah the Harrier II airframe is a lot better (and I miss the Sea Harrier Mk3 we briefly had on the dev server) but overall im fine with the Gen 1 frame. Especially with the better engine.

shouldnt be neccessary, i think id still do it just because I’m carrying 190 of both flares and chaff in the thing and wont use them all unless I was excessive in my use of them

This is true, but would still be nice if the BOL Chaff was 4x more effective than it is currently

having large calibre counters would be massive

Yeah it would, Though would be Large calibre flares and standard calibre chaff. But yeah, that would make the FA2 competitive

i will say having AMRAAM and playing like a sneaky bastard makes it very fun because you know you are at a massive disadvantage but you’re still killing su27s like they are nothing by catching them off guard

That is, because they are nothing with their current FM, you’ll win an energy fight against the Su-27

Their FMs are horribly implemented

Oh yeah, you have to play smart, but when you do its fun. Just wish it had its proper RWR and that the HUd was usable in Sim. But I totally destroyed some Su-27s the first day in it, mostly stock in Sim. Just dragged them super slow (like I had flaps down and viff to stay aloft) and just watched them crash into the ground :P
