We have the harrier FRS. 1 on BR 11.3 in avia RB and 10.7 on grounded battles and the harrier FRS. 1 (e) on BR 10.7 in avia RB and 10.3 on grounded battles. That planes are absolutly same but harrier FRS. 1 have on 2 more AIM-9L then early version. Why so big difference on BR so? Before BR chenges of high tier, that planes was only 0.3 BR difference. And what more important, why harrier FRS. 1 still isn’t 10.3 on ground battles if that planes have the same bombs and rockes, and have no any missile againts a ground vehicle?
I think the more fair BR for harrier FRS. 1 are 11.0 on avia RB and 10.3 on grounded battles.

Yep, no one knows why it went up so much. It was kinda stupid. Hoping it gets fixed next br change
Along with the dozen or so bug reports for all the SHars to be fixed.

For the same reason it was 10.7 prior to decompression.
If the FRS1e only moved up 1 stop, then the FRS1 should have also only moved up one stop.
FRS1 being the same BR as the AV-8B(NA) is kinda stupid

Actually that makes the most sense…
AV-8BNA and FRS1 should be 11.0 for air RB.
With the exception of the radar, which is of advantage only really in sim (and even then, its not that great of a radar). The AV-8B(NA) is superior in every single aspect.
CM count
Turn performance
Top speed
Acceleration
Engine temp management
Better gun
(Better A2G)
RWR performance (though Sea Harrier FRS1 should have a much better RWR)

why do flares not work on this thing? why can the F 5 flare my missile with one pop while I dumb 6 and still die, I get the engine is hot but this is ridiculous.
harriers are modeled as having 4 engines, not joking.
FFS GR.1 and FRS.1 are so unnecessarily hard to play its just unbelievable. I love the AV8B + for Italy and even had fun with the GR.7 when it first came out but these are terrible.
No its not
Its this:

Maybe you’ll should create antoher topic, because this topic already quite outdated
4x 9L’s, decent maneuverability, loads of flares (enough to get the job done)
4x 9Ls yes, though decent maneuverability? barely, at least when consider things like the Mig-21, Mig-23, F-5, Viggen C heck even the AV-8B(NA) at a similar BR,
Loads of flares? Not really. Average at best with 60. With the heat sig issues this doesnt actually last all that long.
Does need a number of buffs too, like radar gunsight and an upgraded RWR.
But 11.0 is the right BR for it now its gone down. But is somehow still stupidly 11.3 in Sim

Vector turning & the extremely powerful engine means you can speed out of the situation due to the engine.
As for the rest, I agree.
You cant outrun any of those aircraft, All would easily catch you if you tried. You get maybe 1 good VIFF, which is usually enough in Sim, but leaves you dead in ARB normally (though 9Ls are flared to easily by most). In a straight dogfight. Unless any of those were stupid enough to go low and slow, I would loose.
