BEHill75 Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 Don't know if anyone has asked this yet, I couldn't find anything when I looked. Does anyone know if there are any plans to add the II+ variant of the AV-8B? The night attack is nice, but as a former engine mechanic on these birds I would love to see the upgraded radar attack version as well. Who wouldn't? More engine power, greater access to modern weapons (like the AAMRAM), and ultimately, a radar of course.
Mars Exulte Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 They've talked about producing one as a separate module, yes. Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2
Pilot909 Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 Hmmm. I hope so. But they have so much on their plate now idk if they would ever get to it.

Evoman Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 I wonder if the newer radar and other systems might still be too new and classified to be able to do it. Hence why the whet with the next best version in the first place.

Classification has nothing to do with anything, unless you think the F-18 and A-10 would be miraculously free of such @@ Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2

I mean, I just retired in 2014 and at least a year before I retired the Litening pod was still considered classified. And yet it appears on videos and in simulator games.
Freeroamer Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 The radar that the AV-8B+ is using was previously used on the F-18A/Bs (APG-65) before the A+/B+ upgrades in which they switched to using APG-73s they moved the older radars to the new Harrier upgrade. TLDR; Classification shouldn't be an issue
