I think it's a necessary strike aircraft for the russian side. Also, gives Syria and Iran some teeth.

I am having problems finding which type of trigger to set. I think it's getting confused when I use "all of group out of zone", because the helos start out of the zone. Then they come into the zone and the troops appear. They leave and the troops stay. I'm confused. EDIT: UGH now they are trying to land at a nearby airfield where theey used to land right where I told them

I am trying to set up a mission where CH-53s land and spawn a group of infantry after 30 seconds. After 7 minutes, I want the CH-53s to take off and I want the infantry to disappear. Ideas?

Using mission editor, can you set your laser in a Harrier to guide GBUs from an AI F-5?

Thank you

I'm designing a mission where I want a Hornet flight and a Harrier flight to both spawn. When the mission starts, I want the player to select which flight he wants through a dialog box. Either the player takes the Hornet to provide an extra bit of a2a protection, or he takes the Harriers, praying the Hornets can protect him. Either way, i need both flights to spawn. How?

I was messing around with a mission I'm developing, and I managed to go into a really strange spin. I caught it on video -- right at the 30:30 mark. No need to watch the rest of the video, as it is just a mission test recorded for trouble shooting. 30:30

Thanks, all. I think it works now.

Following the directions in this video and I cannot get the TGP to designate multiple targets. Each is overiden by the next. Also, not sure how to move the pod around in ATRK mode. What am I doing wrong?

It would be nice to see work to implement the AV-8B+ begin already. The Harriers can defend themselves in real life with AMRAAMs, though these are not widely deployed due to the nature of real life fighting.

AV-8BNA Let's see, I have all three and I can say the AV-8B NA is the best module. - In terms of completeness, it sits between the polished A-10C and the developing FA-18C. - In terms of attack, it is more capable than both the A-10C and the FA-18C. - This is the best aircraft for night ops; the night vision hud and the Litening pod turn the night into your domain - The weapons are fantastic, and you will be able to strike targets with great accuracy - Harrier is much easier to learn than the A-10C and the FA-18C; the FA-18C needs constant monitoring but the Harrier lets you get right to business - It is more deployable than both, so you can get around fast to places the other fixed wing aircraft will have to wait and plan for. Cons: The only cons are 1) it does not do A2A as well as the Hornet does A2G; but it is better at A2G; 2) it does not do antiship strikes as well as the Hornet But there you have it. The Harrier is a better bomber than the A-10C and the FA-18C, but it is a worse fighter than the FA-18C.

Not sure if you're always like that. But if you only count what Fri13 said, I'd say we both got good information, or at least more than we had before he posted. And he's right -- Razbam needs to communicate to us on the B+. It it senseless to see the progression go the Sea Harrier, as going to the AV-8B+ is a smaller leap than whichever version of the Sea Harrier. People aren't going to get much mileage out of the Sea Harrier compared to the B+. With the newest AV-8 you get the Harrier's versatility combined with greatly enhanced capability for air and ground attack. As Fri said, it is seriously opening up an entire new chapter on this under explored corner of modern air combat. But just because I don't see the sense in devoting much to the month-long Falklands scenario doesn't mean anybody should be deprived now that the announcement has been made. We just need to sit back and see if Razbam will prioritize the Harrier B+

Nobody ever mentioned copy and paste, nor do we abide by your expectations. Those are yours and yours alone. They say you need to strike when the iron is hot; the iron's getting hot now that the APG-65 is getting its A-G modes. They said they'd do the B+ and now I'd like to hear Raz speak for themselves on it.

are these guided bullets? -- in flight, or they only fire within parameters?

Don't jump the gun just because you don't remember it -- they said it was coming out when the Hornet got its radar. As has been said already, the B+ variant does not require most of the work of a new aircraft -- just like in real life. IRL the B+s are largely recycled airframes with a fiber nosecone. Same engine as the B Night Attack, only difference is the greater amount of bleed air redirected to cool the avionics. RAZBAM, please bring the B+ as soon as you can.

I have been out of the loop for a couple years but I keep going back to the Harrier. A couple years back I saw they were going to release an AV-8B+ (with radar nose) when the Hornet was developed. Reason being is they could use information used to develop the APG-65 for the Hornet. Adding AV-8B+ would bring Spain and Italy into the mix, as it is the version of the Harrier they use. AMRAAM-Harriers would offer better fleet defense and be more capable in MP. Do there continue to be plans to introduce the AV-8B+?

I was an AV-8B maintainer for the west coast. Sounds interesting, but maybe I lack time.

AV-8B+ Harrier II!

And AMRAAMs?

Sounds like an accessibility issue. You can switch it on it you need it, so it's not mandatory. A server could switch it on if the gameplay requires it, once again it's not mandatory. The only argument against it is people who don't have color blindness or fly at high resolutions don't see the need. Well the feature clearly was not directed at them so they have the least say of all. The developers should listen to the people who used it and prefer it return. It's super simple when your purpose is all but to be a pain in the butt about something that won't affect you.

Strange. That last Harrier pilot I talked to told me you should find the target being lased, and then lase it yourself for self guidance. He said you never rely on outside lasing for Mavericks.

Looks like another Harrier fan!! Without doubt, a GR.7 or 9 would add something that is sort of missing... Now sure what you meant by the "bits dropping off the UK aircraft" though. :pilotfly:

The problem is the scope of naval operations. The British fleet ops with Harriers were significant for a while, but in their prime they were small in scope compared to USMC MEU operations, which as I said earlier are fully integrated land/sea/air ops with a WIDE scope of vehicles and aircraft. Going for the GR-anything over the Night Attack Harrier is a poor trade in naval ops.

The nose of the NA has an optical sensor and a laser range finder, but both the + and the NA use FLIR through LITENING pods. The + has extra cooling in the engine which allows the use of the same radar as the F-18s for Harpoon and AMRAAM capability. Generally the + and the NA have the same capabilities today, save for the radar.
