Ground attack aircraft usually have the gun centreline depressed from the aircraft longitudinal axis to facilitate air to ground gunnery. It appears the DCS harrier is aligned to point the gun above the longitudinal axis. This is apparent by seeing the strafe CCIP reticle above the flight path marker when it should be below.

 

Strafe in this configuration is inherently dangerous as it requires a constant arc towards the ground short of the target to maintain the reticle on the target.

 

Can anyone from the development team comment? Is this a glitch or does the harrier really have the gun pointing this way?

Here is mine.. low res as screenshot from video footage

The picture above may be because you are level and the CCIP is indicating at long range where the rounds will go.. which will put the reticle below your FOM at that range.

 

...... try it in a standard strafe dive and see where it is then

 

@vladinsky... thanks for the info.. I missed the original mention of this glitch.
