You actually can bring a cannon and the TIALD pod. Put guns in the slots, then put a paveway on the wingtips. It'll auto convert ONE of the guns to the pod, then you can remove the paveways if you just want the pod for easier targeting of mavericks

it just doesnt sound like defyn and its awesome

the aim9l drag change feels very good, before they would drop out of the air when the motor burnt out but now they can actually glide, not to mention the guidance changes

After seeing a lot from this plane, I would rather have this thing ANY day of the week, instead of the fucking F-104S ASA. It can actually maneuver, it has effectively constant countermeasures if you just set periodic release, and it gets the same missiles at 11.0. The ASA has never worked for me, and even after the update, AIM-9Ls off that thing seem to still fucking randomly miss their targets and not act like AIM-9Ls. It feels like I'm using AIM-9Js with an all-aspect seeker. One flare, they go to space. One turn, they fly past them. 4km away, forget about it. They just don't work at least 50% of the time.

The whole gameplay aspect of it reminds me a bit of the Hunter F.6 when that was added, you got some omegalul missiles that will just slam people, and subpar flight performance, so youre just some rat that kinda flies around trying to not get focussed by anyone and launch your missiles at people that didn't see you in time.

In the Harrier Gr7, you deserve to be nicknamed "Janitor of the sky". I was a janitor for some years. Nobody really noticed me, nor how many pests did I killed, or nasty spills did I clean. And I was very quick. You cleaned up that sky very efficiently. Funny thing is, the next game, the same opponents will, once more, underestimate you in a sub-sonic Harrier. Very delightful show! And VIFFing rocks if you know to take a breather to regain energy. In physics we learn about ratios. We lean that wing loading (weight to airfoil lift area) is king in affording pilots a tighter turning circle to put your piper on his 6. But, done smartly, the Harrier is the only plane on Earth that can "best" that physics with VIFFING. Part of that thrust can become a centripetal force generator (pushing you towards to axis of your turning circle). Neat eh? Like anything in beautiful physics, there are gains here, at the expense of losses somewhere else. You play very well in pausing to regain energy. The Harrier was one of the very first jet to have a thrust to weight ratio of 1, give or take. So, fortunately it works in its favor with decent accelerations. You give a fantastic show! Cheers!

Best parts were "Mr. YEEET" and "He f*cking dies" Thanks DEFYN, very cool 👍

The LERXs on the Harrier GR.7 also greatly improve turn rate, kinda like how the ones on the Super Hornet allow it to pull some more insane maneuvers (granted, even the Legacy Hornet was able to pull some insane AoA)

With all the mirages flying ATM I would really like if the marker for them at range was MF1 or M2000 not just mirage.

The Harriers in general don't really rip, even the old Hartriers can pull 14G at 1100km/h without ripping.

I hope they eventually add the av8b harrier ll for the US

They increased the aim9l fin deflection from 18 to 22 deg so they pull a lot harder now

This thing is 200% more maneuverable than I expected to be, to where I lost a 2v1 with 2 of them in my J7E. I'm sure if I drag 1 of them into a rate fight I would win, but being able to compete with the J7E in any regard is pretty crazy, least to say the GR7 will actually out-scissor the J7E.

those are the nastiest cannons so far, i'd trade ammo for velocity anytime

@@TheBuccaneerIsHot Yes, the GR.5 onwards did get those upgrades, but as you said, air-to-air combat was not (and never was) its primary role. It was more for a self-defense purpose, as fighter escorts could not always be there in time to save the Harrier in case of an ambush by enemy fighters. That's also why the Harrier only carried two AIM-9s for self-defense, never carried Sparrows or AMRAAMs, and never even had a radar. The Sea Harrier was designed to be a fighter from its inception and sports significant differences to the land-based Harrier. It was to fulfill a set of requirements from the Fleet Air Arm who were looking to replace their utterly useless Sea Vixens. This fighter/interceptor was required to have V/STOL capability so that it could operate from the upcoming Invincible-class "through-deck cruisers" (really, they were aircraft carriers, but were much smaller than previous Royal Navy capital ships due to aversion towards capital ship projects in the 1970s). That is why I did not refer to it in my original comment.
