JonathanRL Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) I know she was not designed to be a fighter but I would love to have a few standing by as fighter cover on the Tarawa for my Squadrons upcoming campaign so being restricted to escort is pretty glaring. Having the option to put them as CAP would be wonderful. HAS BEEN ADDED. THANK YOU. Edited June 22, 2022 by JonathanRL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackHammer89 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 i think the helo escort ones are the default, unless they've been removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanRL Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 Yes, but you can't put the Harrier as CAP, Intercept or similar. Escort works but is very limited in scope. I want to be able to put the Harrier on the Tarawa and have them act as a fighter screen. With current options, that is not possible. This is important as it is the only Harrier we have and thus will have to emulate the fighter versions of the Harrier as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonathanRL Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 Hey, RAZBAM. An answer to this would be nice. It feels strange that I cannot set the AV-8B for CAP or Intercept as she in a pinch might need to fulfill those roles; not to mention if you are using the Harrier for another nation or in a situation where a Fleet Carrier is unavailable. I just want my QRF of Harriers to be set to CAP, please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exhausted Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 You can trace back the lineage of using A- aircraft for CAP. During Vietnam, Marine A-4s even flew CAP for Dixie Station off the Yorktown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurts Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 The Standard Aircraft Characteristics document for the AV-8B includes CAP and Deck Launched Intercept profile performance information, so it's not unreasonable to have CAP and Intercept mission profiles. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
