Jester986 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Could we get an official fictional Russian Navy livery for the Harrier? With the Marianas coming out and nothing but the Su-33 to fly from the upgraded Kuznetsov I imagine we are likely to see plenty of Harriers taking off from it online as its the only other aircraft that really can. There are some good ones in the user files but those don't work with public servers when everyone doesn't have it downloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarraceno Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 It was done for the A-10, why not the harrier?, pretty much Yak-38 livery, looks really cool in the harrier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester986 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 My thoughts exactly. There's actually plenty of fictional liveries in the game. I don't believe in balancing a sim with the real world aircraft are inferior or superior. But at a certain point in public servers you have to give the red side something to do. And you can see plenty of servers who give redfor blue aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester986 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 It's appreciated, and there are good Russian Harrier liveries out there. But the idea was for the sake of playing online where it can be difficult if not impossible to get everyone coordinated on mods. I figured it was a long shot but thought I'd ask. Thanks for response.

=DECOY= Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 You mean simply have the ability to add a RED harrier ? If so you can already, it gives the default skin Water cooled i9-9900K | Maximus Code XI MB | RTX3090 | 64GB | HP Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester986 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 I mean having a yak-38 skin for the harrier when we put it on red. I'm part of a large online squadron and we have a hard time getting everyone to download skins for missions. If you had the harrier on red on a public server it would be impossible to get the transient players to download them. By making it part of the base game and including a fictional livery make visual ID possible that its a hostile harrier. I understand if you guys decide no to do it, but having a few fictional skins for the opposite coalition is pretty useful. Quite a few modules including ED's do it. The A-10C is a great example.

This is actually a brilliant idea! especially for online MP server use. That way it could be used by both sides! You could even limit the "Russian" harrier to dumb bombs and Mavs and no TPOD etc. It would still be more capable but still fun.

Jester986 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 Given the naval nature of the marianas it would be really nice to have the harrier to fly off the Kuz so red can have more than an su-33. Its not like a harrier has never seen a ski jump before ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsvinet Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 A standard "redfor" skin would really be useful. Especially for servers with a limited plane set, missing IFF and such. Visual is the best way to see if you're about to shove a sidewinder up a bad guys tail pipe. Just a simple Yak-38 like skin would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBot Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Great idea, please add an official Yak-38 default skin for the Harrier under Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
