Zeus67 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 The OP is fairly clear but can I just clarify that we will get British variants eventually? Yes, you will.

mattebubben Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) I wanted a av8 plus with AA radar, but since I am fan of the 60s and 70s almost does not make difference! Well the AV-8B is a mid-late 80s aircraft with the AV8B NA being a very early 90s aircraft so its hardly 60s/70s =P. The AV-8B entered service in 1985. With the AV-8B NA entering service in 91. And The AV-8B Plus entering service around 93 (in the US). Edited February 19, 2016 by mattebubben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry.R Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Around the same timeline as the Gr.5 (AV-8B) and Gr.7 (AV-8B NA) mattebubben, except you guys had the better performance engine up to when we got it with the Gr.7A. At least strafe will be an option :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flogger23m Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 So this is not a radar variant as I understand it. That is too bad, but any modern Harrier is a nice addition. Would have liked the GR. 7/9 for the extra weapon stations, but an AV8B sounds excellent to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have liked the GR. 7/9 for the extra weapon stations, but an AV8B sounds excellent to. As they have stated they are not making the variant with the radar yet since there is no Air-Ground radar system yet for them to use. But that should be added soon with the F-18 from ED. So while they are not making a AV-8B+ right now (radar equipped) they have stated there might be one in the future (since other then the radar the AV-8B NA and AV-8B+ are almost identical in most aspects like cockpit etc). so a slight change in the visual model (for the nose section) and a change in the systems / weapons of the airplane and that could be it.

Harry.R Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Hov'vering will be a challenge, wonder how that will work with Hotas set ups? I suppose on a twin throttle set up one could be nozzles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattebubben Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 how did the nozzles work? did they have stages (for different angles) or did you have full control over the nozzel movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESAc_matador Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 how did the nozzles work? did they have stages (for different angles) or did you have full control over the nozzel movements. Full control I think. So, an axis assigned would be helpfull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Breeze Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) how did the nozzles work? did they have stages (for different angles) or did you have full control over the nozzel movements. They had full control for smooth traditions to and from hover and forward flight. Also, with the for nozzles vectoring from the Pegasus. The forward pair were cool air and the rear pair were hot air! https://youtu.be/tfbHMxnlbfI https://youtu.be/D1i4ukSdqjc Edited February 20, 2016 by Cool Breeze "For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Angelthunder Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I want to know if the AV-8B Harrier NA variant is capable of flying in daylight or is it only at night that it fly's it's missions.:huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattebubben Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I want to know if the AV-8B Harrier NA variant is capable of flying in daylight or is it only at night that it fly's it's missions.:huh: Its fully capable of operating at day. (probably better then the standard AV-8B due a number of upgrades) It just had modifications to allow it to operate at the night aswell. As alot of aircraft dont have the equipment / systems to operate as effectively at night as they do at day. But the NA had many improvements over the "standard" Av-8B. It had a more powerfull engine. And the Night attack ability came with both the FLIR that made it much more able to safley fly at night especially at low altitudes. But another thing was making the cockpit and all its instruments etc Night vision friendly. As in you could read all text / instruments etc clearly when using Night vision goggles (Something that is not always possible by default). Aswell as many smaller changes.

hannibal Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 it doesnt matter what variant it is for me, as long as you can do some kind of air to air, and air to ground... find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamin_Squirrel Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Similar to the A-10C; it is ground attack and has no radar, but it can carry AIM-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phant Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Maybe it's too early to talk about, anyway: will all three Harrier's version sold as one package (like L-39C/ZA) or as three different module?

Bye Phant If they were, I wouldn't expect them to be packaged for 60 dollars. Each of the three harriers (GR.9, AV-8B(NA)/+) are significantly different in terms of avionics.

WildBillKelsoe Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 thanks for being honest. looking forward to it. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

The only thing it does not have is a radar. Well no, night is not considered a weather condition but it does require the aircraft to have specific equipment to fly at night, that is not related to weather.
