razorseal Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 Hey guys, I recently got the f18 but with this sale I'm looking to get something else. I've been stuck between the harrier and the f5.. Curious on the realism of this module and also what isn't modeled and if the updates are continuous with it... Thanks!

shagrat Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 A big pro for the Harrier is continuity between the F/A-18C and AV-8B. Very similar systems operation, will make it easier to switch. The updates do happen, though I personally still miss corrections to the HUD symbolic for CCRP and AUTO. On the other hand flying a VSTOL plane is unique. If you are more into analog stuff and pants-to-the seat, the F-5E is what you want. But if you enjoy modern jets and avionics, I would choose the Harrier.

razorseal Posted July 4, 2018 Author Posted July 4, 2018 Are you curious about the realism and what isn't modeled of the F-18C or harrier or F-5m Harrier since I posted it here. Lol Thanks!
firmek Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 Frankly speaking, if you have the F-18 and would like something else get the F-5 - just to experience an analog plane without the HUD and all helpers doing the job for the pilot. F/A-18, F-16, F-14, M-2000C, A-10C, AV-8B, AJS-37 Viggen, F-5E-3, F-86F, MiG-21bis, MiG-15bis, L-39 Albatros, C-101 Aviojet, P-51D, Spitfire LF Mk. IX, Bf 109 4-K, UH-1H, Mi-8, Ka-50, NTTR, Normandy, Persian Gulf... and not enough time to fully enjoy it all
Tenkom Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 I`d buy the harrier. F5 is too limited imo with only 2 missiles and bombs being extremely hard to get on target. I can see how some would appreciate the challenge though. Also the engines are really weak. Harrier is far more interesting with Vtol. Mavericks, targeting pod, carrier ops, sidearms and a much more powerfull engine. Although it is limited to subsonic speeds.
