Meme Guide: Harrier and Friends

[@Hoarding_Bug]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[@gregorturner9421]

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.

[@pooch7245]

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

[@jackschoonover6418]

20:55 poor J35XS, that F-5's missile was probably invis... Seen that guy specifically in a few of my matches, and he is a god.

[@Dunnay48]

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

[@max90153]

You mentioning Cashies is a localisation detail I wasn't expecting
