Meme Guide: Harrier and Friends

Yes, this video is inspired by ManyMilesAway's "Salty Unicorn Reviews" series.
Yes, its a meme and not meant to be taken 100% seriously. Please dont type 10 paragraphs in the comments about how butthurt you are
Special thanks (and credit) to Vincent Moretto for the metal remix of Tenebre Rosso Sangue (Keygen Church) used in the AV-8B+ montage.
Since some of the utter idiots at War Thunder top tier are too stupid to fly the Harrier and AV-8, and especially the premium AV-8A and new Sea Harrier FA.2, here is a simple guide (full of memes). This video was originally intended for the Sea Harrier and AV-8B+ since they faced F-16s and MiG-29s, but branched out to also include the FRS.1, Harrier GR.1, and AV-8A. So, how have you been enjoying the AMRAAMs and R-77 in the new update?
Who even reads the description under a video anyways? You must be really bored.

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.

[@OkenWS]

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!

[@nihil2157]

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.

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.
