Fun fact about the swap from 9Gs to 9Ls. The 9Ls did not fit on the existing hard points when they arrived, so 809 squadron’s riggers decided to fix the problem themselves - by filing off the bit of the hard point that was obstructing the new missile. In war…if it’s stupid but it works, it’s not stupid!
You can actually notch fox 3 missiles by appearing stationary in the air next to a hill or something. You can do this in the the Harrier by using the VTOL, meaning you won't need much chaff when dealing with them.
crazy that this is probably gonna be the most popular meme guide that donut has made. In 1 day it has almost the same number of views that the f16 meme guide has.
Production of this video is so above what I expected when I clicked the video Love what you’ve done Not just informational but fun and cinematic Keep up the great work you’ve been doing with videos like this please because: “im hooked”
I should've watched this sooner, I can't even say the usual stuff because it's stale now, but this is another genuinely great video, its actually really crazy how quickly you pump these out gamba video reference
as someone who grinded the entire fucking br*tish air tree with the GR.1, I must say that becoming good in that thing feels so damn rewarding. I actually love using that thing now, god help me.
When he was talking about how shitty the GR1 was i acidentally held my phone screen and the video started to run at x2 speed, if was so fuckyng funny and when i realized it wasnt an edit he made i felt sad.
I swear to God, this man is the peak epitome of a War Thunder vehicle reviewer. that intro in the history section is magnificent and I had an *elevated* moment
BRO THE HARRIER IS NAMED AFTER A BIRD??? I'VE LOVED THIS PLANE SINCE I WAS 8, I'M NOW BARELY 2 MONTHS AWAY FROM BEING 19 AND ONLY NOW DO I FIND THIS OUT LOOOOL
@@Blueffect_22 No shit. it's the most advanced plane we have flying to date and, yknow, its stealth. The harrier isnt. What did you even try to achieve by saying this?
Unexpected for Blue Archive soundtrack at modification section. VIFF is the best tactic in harrier dogfight, and I love it. Love your video as always, keep it up!
if you are in our discord, i said on there yesterday that im redoing the AV-8B+ section to be higher quality than it already was (i thought i can do better). i spent 12 hours yesterday redoing that entire AV-8B+ montage, and part of that (where you saw me) was getting a few more kill clips.
Aaah alright ! I'm not on the discord so I did not know, but I hope you had fun playing it ! Really enjoyed the video btw, hopefully the next one won't have Gaijin changing things last minute lol
one thing i love about your guides is you always try to have fun weather the plane is shit or good. this is important to not forget in sometimes what feels like an endless grind.
Man i love these meme guides. They not only cover the actual history of said planes, but is a genuine review of the planes. (Most likely wont happen but I would love to see one of these videos on the grumman cats.)
Very informative video. Got me hooked and I started going back into your previous guides. I’d be happy to contribute my own experiences into a guide for the F-105D. I love the plane, considering it a much better experience grinding from stock compared to the Aardvark, and consider it a sleeper hit at 10.0.
Hey is that soundtrack from Fire Emblem Three House! Man finally and also i really really want a meme guide for the Tornadoes and Viggen- Gripen in the future love your vids
harrier was designed to be an interceptor that could land and take off from anywhere, the idea being that you could dump fuel and ammo near the frontline anywhere and the aircraft could either straight up land or vtol into an open glade rearm etc then vtol back into the battle.
I must've hit my head when I've seen the beginning of this guide. That's the only wat to explain why I've regain my consciousness only 40 minutes later with the guide fully watched
the trick with the SRAAM is you give it the highest angle between your plane and the enemy as possible so that the thrust vectoring doesn't end up overcorrecting
I don’t have any harriers, as I main Japan and France, but this was a fantastic video. Amazing music choice (I love Fe3H). Maybe once Thailand arrives, I’ll rewatch this as I know they have some harriers.
28:00 Britain didn't "ship" the Sea Harriers by Cargo Ship to the Falklands, at the early stages of the war, there was no land based airfields to operate from. Sea Harriers at the start of the war operated from HMS Hermes and HMS Invincible which were full fledged Carriers. The reason they sent Harriers on Cargo Ships was because Hermes and Invincible could only carry a meager 20 Harriers combined and inevitably there would be losses. So 5 Sea Harriers from the FAA and 6 Harrier GR.3s from the RAF were loaded up and later transfered to the carriers when there was losses (whether from accidents or losses). The Harriers were flown off of Atlantic Conveyor before she was hit and sunk by a Exocet (although she did take down a lot of heavylift helicopters with her). A few Harrier GR.3s were actually based at San Carlos to perform strike missions but that was after the landings at San Carlos and a full month after the conflict began. Most Harrier flights were from the two Carriers Britain had at sea.
The Gr.1 was a NASTY plane when it came out. Some of my fondest memories in War Thunder are climbing with it and diving on unsuspecting players in the furball, letting loose 4 SRAAMs and getting 4 kills without even firing my guns. The only planes that would be annoying were the A-4s with flares, but everything else was an easy kill. Now flares are much more prevalent at 9.7 sadly
Hey donut, just checking, if you would be willing to link all the music you use in your videos? either on the description or a comment, or do not, but it would really be appreaciated!! Because man, you have some great fucking taste!!
i usually dont list it in the description because that place is already full and convoluted. I usually post a list of music used in vids on discord, but since you asked, here - for this vid it was: Trailer (before the premiere): The British Grenadiers - Girls und Panzer Introduction: Fire Youngman - Ace Combat 2 History: Apex of the World - Fire Emblem: Three Houses Harrier 1: Forcing Breakthrough and Lets Fight - Area 88 1986 OVA OST Sea Harriers: Redline - Project Wingman FRONTLINE59 Harrier 2 - God Shattering Star - Fire Emblem: Three Houses Harrier 2 Montage: Tenebre Rosso Sangue (Ultrakill) metal remix by Vincent Moretto Modifications: OST 220 - Blue Archive Outro - The Apex of the World - Fire Emblem: Three Houses
fun fact, we could get an american "SRAAM" except it wouldnt be short range nor would it explode after running out of fuel, and it would have IRCCM and insane FOV for offboresight shots and an hmd!, all a few years later after the sraam, i do love the aim95 agile
I love the harriers so much they have got to be my favorite planes ever and I got the gr1 simply because it’s a harrier and made it my goal to get the gr7 and now have a 3.0 kd in the gr7 and it makes me happy to see this video🙂
Beautifully researched video as usual. Loved the opening animation. Hope it doesnt get you into hot waters, since Nintendo was especially draconic with *that games* soundtrack.
I wanted to make a joke in real life involving me going to see the AV-8A at the fort worth aviation museum but im sure you know how hot the weather was the past few weeks. Going to that museum again is on my to-do list tho since last month when the YF-16 went on display
and now we use Yankee f35 just like we use their broken version of our own language and hand over everything else to them. +1 for the area 88 reference.

Fun fact: The harrier is one of the most survivable planes in the game. That is because the match is over before you reach the middle of the map.

very on brand for Hariers
I thought it was a spinning harrier gif. it was aligned and synced so perfectly
Donut had a few of us in a VC while filming that. I shut down my PC right after I turned off my engine
Gaijin: sees Donut upload new meme thunder about the Harrier
Also Gaijin next update: "Woe, TAV-8A/TAV-8B/Harrier T.4 and AV-8S Harriers be upon ye"

@@Arsen-YTI too am trying to find it let me know if you do

That "my two last braincells fighting" section with both of you crashing and then the transition absolutely broke me loooool
The Gr1 has to have THE single biggest fall from grace of any plane in war thunder.
You can actually notch fox 3 missiles by appearing stationary in the air next to a hill or something. You can do this in the the Harrier by using the VTOL, meaning you won't need much chaff when dealing with them.
The engine thing really pisses me off, because two of the nozzles are actually cold air, and are before the combustion chamber

Qudos to you man, every single one of these videos goes so hard from sound track to cinematics. Keep it up! (Would love to see an f-16 meme guide btw)
i made a F-16 meme guide last year but its outdated. im planning on making a new one in the coming months.
Saw you yesterday with the AV-8B plus, figured something was coming but assuming you were getting footage you were quick to do so !
if you are in our discord, i said on there yesterday that im redoing the AV-8B+ section to be higher quality than it already was (i thought i can do better).
i spent 12 hours yesterday redoing that entire AV-8B+ montage, and part of that (where you saw me) was getting a few more kill clips.
Aaah alright ! I'm not on the discord so I did not know, but I hope you had fun playing it !

18:01 how i love the in-game chat 😊, beautiful words to be seen daily.
The transitions and title cards were spot on, especially the Sea Harrier one. Not to mention the Area 88 references as well
12:56 made me fuckin giggle, i remember that thumbnail well. man i miss zetaris, his vids were comedy gold
10:20 What are the rebels doing with western aircraft?
The production of this video is amazing!
i swear to god, your videos give me have a new found appreciation for different planes i never cared for before

Masterpiece, wasn't seeing anything that good about WT for a while
Guess what, there is another high BR Harrier now^^
I can't believe that of all the planes in the game, the one nicknamed "The Whistling Shitcan" is the most fun of them all.
The "conceal carry Aim120" bit had me rolling. Great video as always
10/10, not enough project wingman and andor references
This is what I try to find for years, a perfect harrier guide
You mentioning Cashies is a localisation detail I wasn't expecting
