Sea Harrier FRS.1 (e)

Why is the Sea Harrier FRS.1 (e) coming to the tt? It is a copy paste FRS.1 but without 2 AIM-9L, this confuses me so much, as it is going to see the exact same matchmaker, what is the point of adding it?

I think that instead of adding an FRS.1/E that has two less AIM-9L than it should, they should make it a normal one and change the squadron one to an FRS.51/E, for India, that would be similar but armed with Matra Magics instead of AIM-9Ls. Alternatively, make the squadron FRS.1 from a specific squadron (currently the default camo is for 800 NAS). Both of these changes would allow the TT one to be normal and not gimped, as there is no reason it should be missing two missiles.

The Tech Tree version is a Falklands War standard Sea Harrier, while the squadron one is a post-Falklands standard (the FRS.1 was only upgraded to carry four Sidewinders after the Falklands War).

True, but for a game adding a version of another vehicle that is just missing two missiles for no reason is, in my opinion, not a well thought out addition.

Why do that when they can add the FRS.51 as a premium cause people would buy the crap out of it.

That’s what I was thinking

I agree with this!

It’s still really stupid because the only difference as far as I know is 2 less 9L

Personally I am just sad that theres no Falklands war “black death” camo for the SHAR. That would be neat.

That would be amazing, that doesn’t look too difficult, maybe I should make a user skin of it :0
