Right, i cant find the article but can anyone verify that the av8B CAN use the AIM9X (internally recognised as a P buf able to track better / attack soft and hot ground targets but forgoing the high off boresight attack capability)

AFAIK, no the AV8B in USMC service does not carry the AIM-9X. Why do you think they "internally recognize it as P"? The AIM-9P is an export version rarely use by US forces.

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

 

 

Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

I think that are some kind of explosive Charge that will crack the​ Canopy before the Seat can eject.

Yeah it's DetCord. It shatters the canopy so you can eject. It's faster and lighter than having the whole canopy blow away, and since the harrier can theoretically be hovering at zero speed ten feet off the ground, speed of ejection is key.

Has anything been dropped about a campaign for this baby?

 

This is the latest info:

 

We're still discussing it, but from the quality / work involvement point of view, the training would most probably come free with the module (but it would be done in a form of campaign, though a bit limited - so with a story line and characters). The full combat campaign would be a DLC most probably.

What are the wires on the top of the canopy for?

 

As others have explained, I hadn't ever really thought about it until I watched a really interesting documentary on TV about things designed to fail ( metal road barriers, fuses, etc )

 

In amongst the other items they showed a really interesting bit about the ejection process and by engineering the "failure" of the glass prevented injuries/death, I thought at the time "hmmm, yeah that makes sense!" LOL.

Need to change underwear,... Again!

These Videos are no good for my heart. Pulse rate goes beyond what's healthy and the urge to fly it is overwhelming. :D
