honestly has potential as a good fighter for GRB. nobody will expect it and it fits at 11.7. take x2 9M, x2 120B, and a cannon and just sneak around. when youre out of ammo you can just land at heli pads.
the engine is wrong should be mk 106: Pegasus 11-21 (Mk.105 / Mk.106) The 11-21 was developed for the second generation Harriers, the USMC AV-8B Harrier II and the BAE Harrier IIs. The original model provided an extra 450 lbf (2.0 kN). The RAF Harriers entered service with the 11-21 Mk.105, the AV-8Bs with F402-RR-406. Depending on time constraints and water injection, between 14,450 lbf (64.3 kN) (max. continuous at 91% RPM) and 21,550 lbf (95.9 kN) (15 s wet at 107% RPM) of lift is available at sea level (including splay loss at 90°).The Mk.106 development was produced for the Sea Harrier FA2 upgrade and generates 21,750 lbf (96.7 kN).
Bison doesn't get fox 3's and F4F is pathetically outmatched by every other fox 3 jet which is Germany's only choice. Britain now get a fighter and an attacker with fox 3's which is very strong for a ground rb line up. I'm glad this exists.
Not every plane has to be top tier seal clubber. Sure, top tier should be decompressed for breathing room, but at least a select few who like these planes get to fly them.
My favourite part of this is that Britain will never again not have a comptetive top tier plane. In terms of top tier Britian now has quite a lot of options.
@@datcheesecakeboi6745 12.7 is basically top tier as 90% of the matches will be agasint 13.0. and most of the matches for a 12.3 will be 13.0. and so what if it isnt native? a plane is still a plane.

@@freddiejohames8332 uh.. flight model, speed and countermeasures? something that the sea harrier doesnt have, there are literally planes with more missiles and countermeasures then the sea harrier
I don't understand how this is more than 11.3 or something like that. The airframe is easily the worst out of anything above BR 11 if it handles like the other Sea Harriers, unlike other ARH missile buses, to get full AIM-120 it needs go in unarmed and with very few flares. Looks like if the Nimrod would get AIM-120s, it would be at BR 12.0.
@@garyyoung3179 It didn't seem to be any less brick-like in Mat's video to be honest. Gaijin seems to think it had Pegasus 101 whilst in fact it had Pegasus 106 which is used in the Harrier II as well I think (so GR.7).
In theory it could have, but apparently by the time the FA.2 upgrade was carried out, the Royal Navy had grand total of *three* Sea Eagle missiles left in stock. So they were never tested on the FA.2. It's insane how tiny the British military budget was in the 90s.

People crying about Bison and F4F being dead on arrival when this exists xD
Lmao

There is a reason why the F is before the A for the Sea Harriers, so really two fighters as the RAF Harriers were more suited to ground attack.

I can see it going down to 12.0 with the CM or missiles trade off
i think this would be awsome to use in air SB being a wing man and providing cover for a GR.7 that's doing ground work.
The gr9 and av-8b plus are remaining
Still no US Harrier 2
