"Too much American aircraft, we need more British aircraft." <--I don't get it.

"I prefer the British GR7/9 to the American AV-8B because of reason X or Y (ie: avionics, sensors, weapons)" <--This I get.

 

Exactly what I was thinking.

You say you wont buy it, but you will, because you want a Harrier...period. :)

 

Yeah, it'd be like an American saying they wouldn't buy the Apache helicopter if they made the Apache AH1 instead of the AH-64. Are kidding? It's an Apache!

Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.

I'll fly any and all Harriers. I'm not country specific. It's a freaking Harrier.

There has been no official word on the variants, but with pics of AV8B cockpit and Gr9 external(Razbam FB page), I assume we will get both at some stage. Most likely GR first.

Hear, Hear, Brixmis! Way too many US models around already or planned.

 

I'm more of a WW2 fan tbh, but I'd buy a Sea Harrier (which I know even the GR's aren't exactly) the second it came out... particularly if they had a few ships in a rather narrow channel. ;-)

VEAO already has plans to make a Sea Harrier FRS1 to go with the Falklands War Map in the future.

RAZBAM has said that they are waiting on a working ground radar for the B+.... I'll gladly take the GR.9 if it means a B+ later!

That should be a fun module once it's finished! Keep up the good work RAZBAM! Carrier ops should be fun with this, the F-14 and A-6 coming out in the future. Now we need some USSR carrier jets as full-fidelity modules...

is there an official a/g radar thread somewhere on ED forums, btw ?

 

Not as far as I recall, we have tidbits shared in news updates. Long story short, it'll arrive when F-18 arrives, and 3rd parties wanting to use ED's A/G radar functionality will have to wait for that.

 

Though, LN is doing their own ground mapping radar for Viggen, even if older generation and less sophisticated. Radar on F-15E and AV-8B + is though, quite sophisticated and RAZBAM stated they will be using ED's functionality once done.

Not to mention that the AN/APG-73 modeled by ED is a more advanced version of the AN/APG-65 found in the Harrier II+. They even received radar sets from upgraded F/A-18As. It would be stupid to the same work twice.

 

Once the Av-8, F-18 and Corsair are released I will be in flight sim heaven.
