Slipp Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 For those of you who who have not listened to the DCS podcast. RAZBAM devs confirmed in an interview that Harrier GR7 & GR9 are going to be the next modules. They said that development time will hopefully be around one year. Some of the other things they said: - T-2 Buckeye is pretty much cancelled and is not expected to see the light of the day any time soon - After ED gives RAZBAM devs a feasible ground radar, they plan on doing F-15E and A-7 - RAZBAM plans to produce two modules per year in the future 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Dioxin Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 This confuses me a little. How will they do a proper GR7 or 9 without ground radar? Harrier would be my fave in DCSW, no two ways - I really enojoyed their FSX model. Plus, I have my own bit of history with Harriers, though that was the GR.3 (1977-80) and later also the GR.5 (1986-89) 4sqn all the way...

It uses IR sensors for night attack.

Johnny Dioxin Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) But surely it uses the pods for the AG role - it's Christmas day and I just finished after dinner drinks, so my memory is a little cloudy.... the sniper or TIALD and the same one that the A-10C uses, which evades me at the moment?

mattebubben Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 are we getting both the Gr7 and Gr9 variants? I know the Gr.9 is an upgraded variant of the Gr7 but how big are the changes? and will they release both at the same time or release one first and then the other?

The AV-8B Harrier II Radar aicraft replaced that system with the radar used in the F-18As. The AV-8B Harrier II Night Attack did not make the change and uses the same IR targeting system. There are some Harriers that do not have any kind of sensors on the nose, so I guess those are the ones who use the targeting pod.
