All of the rank 6 Harriers are 9.7 ATM; tough the US ones suffer from a inferior bombload, what makes them less profitable in Air RB (+ harder to spade the 8C), but in mixed battles I'd definitely pick the Zunis over the 5x1000lbs, IF I had any reason to pick the AV-8 over the A-10A or F-4C for CAS, yet over a helicopter, with the US, but maybe we do get the AV-8B one day. The 30mm are not very good guns, but at least they hit hard, and planes can rarely RTB after a hit (unlike when u crti something with the 20mm). That poor Su-17 has no flares at all, that's why its dropped from 11.0 to 10.3 and its a big (and hot) plane... and the 22M3 has like 12, but if he's like me he carries a mix with chaff.
No VIFFing (vectoring in forward flight) for the UK replacement of the Harrier - the F35. Maybe that has something to do with the decision of the US Marines to stick with the Harrier (among other reasons...)
I kinda miss the old review style with the rating numbers and pros and cons listings. I don’t care too much about the gameplay compilations since performance is going to be highly reliant on individual skill and less on the plane. I just think it shouldn’t be the majority of the video for just gameplay. Just my opinion though.
I have a talisman on this thing and it's one of my best aircraft. A real monster and it can dogfight, provided you position yourself properly and manage your energy...
AV-8A is premium, so more rewards and costs real money. It can have a custom loadout, so bombs and missiles. AV-8C has internal flares and chaff (so less, but less drag too) and it has radar warning.
the AV-8A has over 200% more research multiplier than the AV-8C, and the about 150% more silver lions multiplier, you made the right choice sticking to the AV-8A

@@Redfox442 alright thats about 1.8 to 1.3 km thanks
I like using this for air superiority in GRB. It's also like the only non-premium plane below 10.3(for USA) that has flares so that's pretty nice.

3 napalm 2 aim9g's... 40% spaded and didnt played much
10:29 Friendly Fire will not be tolerated
Still think av8a is better just spam flares and chill usually get 2-4 kills with it even though it’s defenseless against faster jets
Its a video for those who dont want to spend 60$ on a vehicle. Also AV8C has a radar detector...
i wish we had the modification for the GAU-12 on the AV-8. one pod with the gun, one with the ammo
No VIFFing (vectoring in forward flight) for the UK replacement of the Harrier - the F35. Maybe that has something to do with the decision of the US Marines to stick with the Harrier (among other reasons...)
As a Harrier GR1 possessor: buy this one, if you cannot decide between them, when it comes to RB. In sim, they both hold the ground well imho.
Play the british harrier at 9.7 with sraam that explode after 3.7s and no flares it suffers

i farmed from 2nd VW to F4 Phantoms with this under a WEEK!!!!!

Its my Ace plane
Every few games I’ll get 5 or 6 kills with ease, usually in uptiers as well, it’s just a total beast
How
@@Salihli4545 me shoot missile at plane
Me shoot gun at plane
5kills
AV-8C with countermeasuers and great missiles at 9.7. GR1 with NO countermeasures and mediocre missiles at 9.7. How?
Finally a review on this underrated plane! 🎉
My dad worked on Av-8B harriers in the Marine corps and I wish they would add it 😭
the Av8B is in the game
Like said, av8b is ingame, now soon in the US tech tree too! Ontop of the strike aircraft tree.
I feel like the AV-8B NA(Night attack) should be a premium for rank VII
its probably going to be a rank 8, because the Harrier GR.7 is in rank 8
So what is the difference between the AV-8A and C, in laymans terms anyway
AV-8A is premium, so more rewards and costs real money. It can have a custom loadout, so bombs and missiles. AV-8C has internal flares and chaff (so less, but less drag too) and it has radar warning.
The Yak141 can thrust vector in flight
Yes but not at mach 1+
he tked you so he can get the kill... this happens a lot in top Air RB
is it normal that this thing starts with abnormal thrust when the match start (RB)
yes coz turbofan its a very high pressure air coming out from the thrusters
It’s not ‘abnormal’, the Pegasus engine on the Harriers have an insane amount of acceleration
If you mean it being set to hover in the top left, that's just a glitch.
If you are referring to the engine power, yup it goes hard
I want to use this but I have the Av8A stealth optical illusion camo and there's no way
the AV-8A has over 200% more research multiplier than the AV-8C, and the about 150% more silver lions multiplier, you made the right choice sticking to the AV-8A
I was hoping for a review on the armaments, etc, not a "Watch my epene" video.
We need the Av 8B
nice
Not 100% sure but I'm pretty sure I was in a game with Tank couple days ago and he is just as polite in not ksing as he is in the videos. Good man
It’s not forgotten It’s hard to use on Xbox lol
I use it on xbox. 😂
Just give it AIM-9L and go up the BR
Sea harrier does that on british tech tree with better CAS arnament
It’s really not the best American harrier though ingame, unless it has the extra flares like the AV8A then the premium one is better
C model has a RWR, which is a big deal.
Losing the center pylon for more flares is about neutral, 60 is enough most of the time
C is better. Radar warning system exchanged for the abnormal number of flares
Reality this can get 2kill and can’t dogfight against fastjet just my experience can’t get 3 to 5 kills
av8b js laughing.
I hate these
