Harrier VTOL

[Endrek]

I'd settle for VTOL landing only since that's the hard part =) Especially if they put em on a carrier map.

I love the Harrier in the training maps, i'm trying to familiarise myself with the aircraft and maneouverablity of it. I am greatful for the devs work, so i can wait for the next update. v0.8 kicks ass atm, so i'm not too worried about the Harrier at this time. I know its not finished yet but i still love it. I love the way the flares come out 1 every 2-3 seconds when you hold the flare button, nice idea.

Even to land VTOL they have to expensively dispense any ordinance they still have on board, into the sea before landing. They are having the same problems with the F-35B and it looks like it will only be capable of rolling landings ( which was not in the design spec ) - also if the F35B uses half its weapons,it will still have to dispense the other half so that its balanced on landing.
When flying the Harrier on kashan training, just turn it 180 degrees and take off on the dirt conventionally.

Quite.

As stated, its not finished yet and shouldn't really be in PR at this time.
