just a minor correction you can actually take 1 gun pod and 1 targeting pod, but it might be a bug because you have to mess around equipping the gun pods then adding a guided bomb which will add the targeting pod automatically but not remove 1 gun pod giving you just 100 rounds.
He probably didn’t include that so in the future if it’s patched the review is still correct
@@errorbyte7657 exactly
Just a note for future viewers: it's now officially supported to take one gunpod with the targeting pod.
Releasing the Harrier GR.7 really made my day. All we need now is the Sea Harrier (very surprised that hasn't been released yet)
Hmm a Harrier with a radar an AMRAAM Aim-120's
Hmm yes... Balanced... must be 10.3
@@kajmak64bit76 12.0
Fun fact: the AN/ASB-19 Angle-Rate bombing system in the nose of the Harrier Gr.5, Gr.7, Gr.9, AV-8B, and AV-8B(NA) was the same one used on the A-4M Skyhawk II
Just when I was looking to see if you did a GR7 guide, delivered.
He read your mind
@@Jay1787 clearly! I had just gotten it today and I know this plane is gonna be one of more preferred Flys. It's so nice to fly.
I keep coming back to this channel for really clear, concise and reliable reviews in war thunder. Underrated youtuber
Cool thing about the nose mounted FLIR in real life, idk about this version, but on the AV-8B the FLIR will automatically mark heat sources on the HUD with a chevron, almost like a pseudo IRST!
3:27, small correction: you can mount the gun and pod at the same time, however it requires some trickery, so I'm not sure if this will get patched or not at some point.
You have to equip two gunpods and then equip the paveway (or any laser weapon I think), this will automatically convert one of the guns to the targetting pod. You can remove the laser bomb afterwards to switch out for mavericks or something like that.
It's a bug. Anytime you have to do something like that, it's a bug in the custom loadout manager.
@@chemputerit’s official now
The Harrier II is one of my all-time favorite jets in history, so I was very happy to see one added. I'm nowhere near it in Britain, nor would I be if the AV-8B was added to America, but I DO have Italy at top-tier, so as soon as the AV-8B+ is added, I'm gonna have a lot of fun.
I don't know what it is about the visual design changes after the first generation of Harriers. Maybe it's the wing, the additional pylons, maybe it's the all gray paintjob they usually have, the redesigned nose... it's just absolutely gorgeous.
Yeah smoother aerodynamics tends to be attractive
well well you got your wish lol
@@jaek__ Hell yeah, can't wait. With AIM-9Ms, even.
Best WT review UA-camr. Covers the history, the gameplay implications, just perfect
Man keep going you make so great and historic videos!!
Man, those reviews are soo good, the remind me of the old and informative discovery (wings) documentaries! keep up the good work
Love ur vids man, I was waiting for u to make a GR.7 vid.
great review as always
8:57 be like:
“boop”
*miss*
“rocket spam”
I actually saw these getting taken away for decommissioning while doing some training in 2011. Sad to see them go. Wonderful planes.
Nice video calm informational good game play.
still waiting for the gr3 to get its laser guided weapons.
With this update the older Harriet's seemed to have gotten an update to their flightmodel since they seem to fly and turn much smoother then they used too
Have you noticed anything like that or is it just imagination on my part?
Could also that you gotten better. Ill trt sometime and let you know what i think
Hmm I recently spaded the GR.3 while grinding the GR.7, and it does do alot better than I remember it, pulling 2-3 kills nearly every game. I don't know if the plane is different though since it still felt like a brick but they did buff the Aim9G into some sort of divine smiter which really does feed it kills.
@@thomasmacdonough288 i think your skills have improved is the main contribution here
"Literately shooting blind"
Sweden Players: "Välkommen till vår värld..."
(On a serious note though, no tracers in Air RB with jets is PAIN... How are we supposed to learn where a cannon shoots if all we get is a muzzle flash? Feels like firing blanks)
Great Video, as always. The only bad thing is grinding this harrier with the Jaguar GR1A. The su25s are always on the enemies team and I get clicked out of the match immediately. Thx for the review.
Excellent video, I've got a video request for ya, after all the hype dies down with all the new stuff could you cover the Swedish AHS helicopter? Thanks bro💪💪
At some point I'm going to do one on the entire Apache family.
@@TimsVariety Alright man excellent!
Not having tracers on the guns isn't too bad since the velocity is extremely high, highest velocity air guns in the game rn, so once you get used to the ballistics you can beam people with out much effort.
Not having tracers makes the jump from the 30mm ADENs to the 25mm ADENs more difficult though (for A-A, for A-G it doesn't matter because they have CCIP for the cannons)
Wait this is faster than the Vulcan???
@@raksomething6942 velocity... not shooting speed...
The bullets go fast... not the magazine xd
@@kajmak64bit76 yes i know, he said highest velocity and I thought the vulcan was the fastest rounds, you really could work on reading comprehension
@@raksomething6942 weird... i was just gonna say the same thing to you.
good shit Tim!
I love Harriers so much
Tim, remind the developers that there is a F-4F for germans at the same battle rating with worst AAMs and les AGMs + no radar missiles
Its an F4 bro…
@@SteelxWolf yes, bro...
I’ve noticed my 9Ls get hot-and-bothered for friendlies too. The 9L seems to gravitate to AB jets, I’ve found whenever I “lose” the target, it will just go straight for the closest after burning jet. Very frustrating, doesn’t take a lot for it to happen really, it’s pretty easy to do.
Bro its litteraly how ir missiles work irl
@@lemangeur2poulet248 nice observation - did you think I didn't know that? I was just adding on to the point being made in the video. I don't say anywhere that it should change, I'm just commenting that it happens.
Also - this comment was 10 months ago, so it's also possible that this is less unique to 9L at this point. What kind of planes are you flying these days? I've been out of the loop for a long time at this point.
I think you were in my round. Did you record the gameplay yesterday at noon US time?
Yaay new vid
Hey tim im not sure if you do/have done a review on some of the top tier helicopters like the yah64 and apache if not would you consider doing one one the ah64A apache as im decently close to unlocking it and im not 100% sure on how i should use it
Can you make a review on the rooivalk helicopter?
4:27 AGM-64D? little bit of a mess up there :p off by one number
i hope the us gets this thing it's awesome.
Sadly for the HUD Gaijin cant reproduce the FPM we can the on the virtual cockpit with a nice and fully functional HUD, leading to having to look for the AoA gauge instead of gestimating with said HUD.
There are cock pits thay do uave them displayed on the glasses
Tim, I've been obsessing over the Yak-38 and Yak-38m and I've been grinding the Russian tree to get to the 38m. I'm not sure how it plays and I've heard its not the best, but your videos are by far the most fun and informative while actually helping me know how to use the vehicle I'm playing. do you think you'll ever make a video on either of them?
If your looking for a fun time against other Jets the yak 38 won’t bring it there’s just to many Jets that are better then it right now it is mid tier and the r60s are amazing aprt from r60s and maybe the cannons you’ll lose 90% of your fights
Its in the medium-term list
@@TimsVariety nice! I look forward to it and I'm excited to see how the experience I have and the experience you have compare
might be wrong but afaik the premium is straight up better than the tech tree version sadly
@@omnipotent-man8365 I've had decent luck with bad planes and even if its something that's not competitive, i like the plane in general and I'm okay if I'm not on the top of the team. thanks for the heads up though!
Hi,
NP's about killing me at 4:32, I was thinking that the Tomcat dumped so many flares, that it may guide friendly ordinance on to me at the moment your missile connected I wanted to go off the afterburner.
Regards,
Craven.
The harrier has a flir and ccd camera but they are not the same sensor and are not combined. the "DMT" (Ccd camera) is not that useful irl and was replaced in the sea harrier because it's absolutely useless and the flir is above the second camera above the nose and is fixed and projects a flir image to the hud at night and marks hotspots on the hud in day or night
You aren't supposed to run the engine at full power, which is meant for VTOL stuff.
Ok but how come when I lock mavricks if it's not perfect dead center on a 110% visibility tank it will lock the ground next to it, but you lock a speck and it autohits
Most top tier missile AA max ranges are 6.21 miles so I typically stay outside of that till I’m ready to head into battle
I can’t wait till after burning jets get good targeting pods, bombing from the 30,000 feet should make you relatively immune to current SPAA vehicles. Then they’ll have to introduce the BUK and Hawk
So ya know the roland has 8
Om players tanks not the ai in heli pve
@@robanson32 i literally used a laser guided bomb to kill a german MiG-23MLA when he landed on the airfield from altitude of above 6 maybe 7000m
The airfield AA didn't shoot at all
8:11 Maybe dont side climb within 10km of the ground battlefield?
harrier 2 when god please i need it
Can you make a tutorial on all the guided weapons stuff? I play since 2013 so all the new keybinds are blank for me and setting up all the keybinds, radar keybinds, weapon keybinds, laser keybinds is REALLY hard.
I've got tutorials for these up - check out my playlist for "war thunder tutorials and info"
So is italy gonna get there’s soon
Little Update. It can carry the new Aim9M since the new "Sons of Attila" update.
Italy needs its harrier added
I believe Italy used the AV-8B Harrier II Plus, which had the radar of an F/A-18 and AMRAAMs
It would probably get added together along with the Harrier II of the US, iirc they both used the AV-8B Harrier II, and probably at a higher BR because of its Radar and AMRAAMS
I guess it's possible to add it just without AMRAAM
anyone know if you get the aim 9ls off the bat or do you have to unlock them? seems like they would be insanely hard to get at top tier.....
2 aim 9l stock, if I'm not mistaken
Is it better then the F-5C
Doesnt look like it ignore the flares. It tracled them and lost tack pf the target and aquired another
You need to learn how to fire them in a way it avoids flares... that's how i use them and a decent amount of times it avoids flares lol especially if the target is something hot.. like a Phantom or F-14 lol
Just use the Force :'D
Anyone got any good grinding tips for Britain
so we could get an italian harrier at this point
You can bug it so you can carry 1 gun with the pod
I don’t think it is a bug it is more of a feature
@@jonlikesplanes yeah... logically it seems possible irl... it makes sense to me
Currently the meta is mirage vs the world 🌎
wt wiki states aim 9l's will randomly lock friendlies... have to be careful
Ir missiles lock the hotter target they see. Its how it work innreality…
Little update, it got patched i think, at least i no longer have this problem.
flir should just be black hot or white hot. no color. its infrared. so something has to be hot did wt not get this right or.. just footage
Funny how more foreign jets get the aim9L than American jets fo
That wing and tail looks like an F/A-18 merged with a heli
vtol is an absolutely stupid gimicky thing they put into the game just to 'add content' to get people to keep playing (yah know, because people are stupid and easily swindled). In the real harrier, vtol capability is limited to somewhere around 20.5k lbs. You would only fuel up an absolutely minimal amount after loading ordinance, with the point being to take off from a forward position (places where building runways was impractical or, because of shifting battlefields, is too soon to get crews out for, or even just to have a remote position that was hard to spot via recon planes which made it harder for the enemy to target air capabilities, either targeting planes or runways) and then immediately link up with a refueler to fill up. It's stupid they added this into the game because it makes absolutely zero sense to have this capability in warthunder. A, because there are never scenarios where there are maps with no runways, and B, because there is no air to air refueling (and there 1000 percent should not be a2a refueling either for matches that generally average 8-15 minutes)
Best load out for Gr.7 in grb:
2 AIM-9L
2 AGM-65D
2 1000lb paveway
2 500lb paveway
1 gun(trickery.exe)
