Vampires, Swifts, Venom, Hunters not going down in BR when the stronger vehicles at the BRs are going down?

So let me demonstrate to you just how bad the Harrier UNDERPERFOMRS.
Math time .55 Mach = 366.7 Knots at sea level
According to Technical Report 77021 sustained G load at .55 M is just over 5G we will call it 5G for simplicities sake.

This is the Turn Capabilities chart of the AV-8A which is essentially the same airframe as the Gr1.
At 366 Knots if you look over to where it intersects the load factor of 5 it should be sustaining 15 degrees a second a whole 3 degrees faster for just this one situation.

Yeah you clearly dont know what you’re talking about

65

That is a limitation of Gaijins set up.

80% is max normal throttle of the harrier and should be 100%

100% throttle should be the WEP and more like 120% throttle

WEP should be a toggle keybind for water injection and entirely separate from the throttle.

Cruise with the throttle around 80% and you’ll reach max speed just find and won’t overheat

66

Absolutely this is how I play the Harrier at 80% and only go to 100% in extreme situations.
More on that though I have a full table of installed engine thrust across the Mach range and the Pegasus increases thrust with airspeed so the faster the Harrier goes the more power it should make.

67

Not entirely true. Quite a few buffs and fixes for the harriers. Gr1 included. Like the removal of sooty exhaust and SRAAMs are underperforming significantly.

Possibly some FM issues as well and then the big issue, the heat sigs

Are you Olaf_Loves_you if you are I completely understand why you act the way you do. Your most used plane is the F.58 and I don’t think you’ve ever used a Harrier.
Wait you have the Frs.1 and you have a whopping 12 battles in it.

69

Literally who, having random people rent free in your head isnt good.

Huh???

No, because harrier can VIFF and Yak38 cannot.

71

Both are crappy aircraft at their BR. Yak38 is definitely worse though

72

Are you saying both are too bad for 8.7 or something else

73

say it with me laddies

“Shifting BR’s will not fix the problem! We need to add new BR’s!”

amen to this, and amen to that

74

yeah but they do just need to revert every single subsonic jet downtier they’ve done in the past 2 years to counter compression.

namely, mig-15 variants, mig-17 variants, f-86 variants, etc

It is actually bad at 8.7 tbh.

IMO it shoud be 8.3.

76

The venom? I think it’s fine when the 15bis and 86F are also 8.7. It competes with those well, just not its current peers.

77

I mean Venom ain’t that good as MiG-15bis and F-25 Sabre.

It should have same BR with regular MiG-15 and A-5 Sabre but, not 8.0.

78

I would say in air RB it is close enough.

79

The Venom FB4 is 0.7 BR higher than the Mig-15, despite being at best, equal, if not worse than the Mig-15.

Venom has long been over BRed. Especially given it can and likely actively does, face the 9.3/9.7 aircraft that it stands no chance against.

80

And as I’m saying, I think it’s fine to be the same br as the 15bis as in an air rb context its roughly comparable… and the 15bis should be 8.7

81

Then either those need to be incresed, or the venom decreased.

its unfair that Britain’s early jets are so royally screwed over in this fashion.

and its not just them. With the recent nerfs to the Javelin, that could probably do with coming down 0.3 BR as well. and Hunter F1 should also match its equals, either those need to come back up or it needs to go dow nto 8.7.

Can you read this post and see who made it?
