DmitriKozlowsky Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 Just a cautionary tale. Or is it tail? Bofors 40mm from WWII Asset LST, Attack Transport, and 40mm AAA, can seriously f'up a Harrier. THey are inaccurate against fast jets, but at close range, if they get range, and you are not maneuvering, a single 40mm hit takes a wing off Harrier.
Quadg Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 the shell is a 2lb hunk of metal and explosive with the muzzle velocity similar to an M1 Garand. so yes it will mess up a harrier with one hit.

Silver_Dragon Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 The Bofors 40mm maintain on active services after XXI century with update systems, but on 80s was a dangerous threat.

QuiGon Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 Alle you need to know about the Bofors: Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
DmitriKozlowsky Posted August 27, 2018 Author Posted August 27, 2018 Thank you. I agree on Tornado, and F-16C Block50/52 was included in ED plan for DCS. However we need Russian , Chinese, or Yugoslavian fixed wing type simmed to same level as AV-8B or F/A-18C, or A-10C.
