Harrier and its "jumping" capabilities
Hi, I was told that the harrier realistically cannot take off vertically with its full weapon payload fitted to the aircraft. Is this true? And if it is, i was wondering if the upcoming harrier GR9s will be able to overcome this flaw. I read it would have stronger engine power. Just wonderin'.
how will the jet handle in terms of hovering basically... (in PR) |

Re: Harrier and its "jumping" capabilities
in r/l the harrier (including GR9 which has been in service for some time now) can not take off vertically with a full pay load of weapons afaik.
The Harrier is a STOVL aircraft really. In PR due to the BF2 engine limits I don't think there will be any way in stopping the harrier from taking off vertically unless we dont allow it to land vertically as well  |

Re: Harrier and its "jumping" capabilities
So the harrier will be able to take off and land verticly? I'll finally be able to fly a plane and land it?

Re: Harrier and its "jumping" capabilities
I think some "noobs" if you will, will treat it like a helicopter :P
Though question to Rhino, in the training version there is a Harrier on 64 Kashan map. Will the Harrier have the same controls as that one, or have you completely redone it? |
