Where did you hear/see that? From what I can find, it didn’t. If it is true, is it a HMD like on the Kfir C.10 or a missile aimer like on Russian jets?

Sheesh, that would put that Sea Harrier in a BR that would be very uncomfy, not lush at all…
Just imagine against what types you would be pitched in that old airframe. A good radar and Fox 3’s can only get you that far…

Wow imagine if it actually had its irl flight model and your whole argument is pointless lol. Waiting for / if gaijin actually ever fixes the Harrier flight performance is a whole other question.
It would be very capable if it had its IRL STR ITR and its incredible low to medium speed nose pointing ability. Even better than what the F-18 is capable of. Except in game it’s limited to a whole 16 degrees AOA with mouse aim yet the flight manuals say 40 degrees AOA before the thing even experiences buffet.
Gaijin did not cook with there little buff last update and it should have its 110% thrust when only at 100% throttle meaning it’s STR climb and acceleration are still quite far behind what they should be.
TLDR: the sea harrier if even somewhat corrected in flight performance, would downright outclass all the other modernized 3rd gen’s in the game when at lower altitudes. By this I mean even up at 25,000 feet it’s still on equal footing with the MiG-21F

What it should actually turn like.
If they add the Frs.51 it would be DOA if it doesn’t get its proper performance.
