[Vehicle] Harrier GR-9 [WIP] - Page 8

They would of if vietnam had had mig 26s at the start of the war...

Originally it was Mig 17s which failed horribly against the F-4, but then the good old Bear gave them Mig 21s which evened things up a bit, wasn't much air fighting to late in the war as NV resorted to guerilla tactics.

Anyway, I heard somewhere that the Harrier cannot accelerate upwards, this seems slightly contradictive, anyone know why this is?

Yes IIRC the harrier cant perform a vertical takeoff if its fullyloaded (fuel and armament), But it can still tilt the nozzles to shorten the takeoff distance needed.

WRT Vietnam:

Yeah, Navy Phantoms were only achieving somewhere around a 2-3:1 K/D Ratio. Because of this, Top Gun was created and a gun was added to the Phantom, which produced some say 20:1 K/D Ratios. Ultimately it settled around 12.5:1

USAF was somewhere around 4-5:1 I think
Not sure on USMC

Bottom line the US learned was always put a gun on the plane. Has saved a lot of men both on the ground and in te air.
