You know I meant in game
I am afterall the one who found it’s over-performance issues
No the F-18 has to fly passively and BbZ
The Alpha Jet once the fight starts slowing down can actually turn with the Hornet. In game that is.
You should of been here for the lightning bug report saga back in the day I had about an hours worth of video clips testing its flight performance comparing it to the flight manuals we by and large managed to get it corrected by quite a lot
Well at least one British plane managed to get corrected.
Wish the same was done for the harrier

agreed the harriers are awful to fly
Complete ass despite being cracked IRL.
Yet no one gives a damn to fix them and im tired of trying to get them fixed alone.

A close up of Rapid Sentry the new UK capability for drone defence, using an existing turret platform and LMM.

wonder if something like the 35mm oerlikon with Proxy Fuse rounds (or even AHEAD) would be effective against these threats
Pretty sure we’ve been using this already in the ME. The RAF Regt. used these against a good number of drones.
I don’t get why they haven’t put a pair of wheels on it like towed Rapier. Surely that would make it easier to move around rather than having to crane it into position.

Could still be in development and all. So they haven’t made a chassis like that for it yet.
It’s just moved with a forklift/telehandler judging by those slots in the base
AFAIK the plan is to stick it on the Patria CAVS we’re buying, once those start being delivered

Oh shit that sounds cool.

Moog has been very aggressively pushing to get the RIwP (SGT Stout turret) selected for that role. Somewhat unsubtly hoping they win.

For the Sea Harrier FA2, wasnt their a prototyped wing or something that allowed it to carry more amraams? I swear i saw something about something similiar to that. Would be a good upgrade for the current FA2
i think there was back when it was called FRS.2 or something
Only wingtip prototype on production FA.2s was the extended 6 inch (?) tip which was never used due to fatigue concerns
Yes the dual sidewinder pylons could be fitted with twin AMRAAMs allowing you to carry 4 amraam on the wings.
But these required the 8in extended roll fit wing tips to keep the planes stability in check.
What’s the source for that? I thought dual outer AMRAAMs was deemed aerodynamically impractical even with the extended wing tips.
