AV-8s currently have AIM-9G just like Harrier GR.3.

Yes, but was closed with more recent sources that show 16.5G is correct:

D and G have identical overloads.

We don't have this functionality on Sidewinders of any kind yet.

I'm aware of both of those.


My understanding was that G works differently in that regard to how the E and J currently slave and did so in a different manor that we don't have in game yet (at least this was the reason I understood) but I've raised it with the consultants.


It may just be they can already, just try Jaguar can't do it as it has no Radar of the right kind.

Thats historical, they are thrust vectoring missiles.


If it is too powerful, then like everything else we will adjust the BR.

SRAAM was not just tested on Hunter F.6 but also on Hawkers company demonstator Harrier T.52 (T.2) G-VTOL to prove the viability of SRAAM on Harriers too.


Unfortunately SRAAM ultimately got canned after testing due to a defence review and the UK made the decision to buy "off the shelf" options like Sidewinders.


GR.1 never had Sidewinders of any kind. SRAAM was the only system tested during its lifespan and was added to the GR.1 based on Hawkers tests to make the aircraft more viable and interesting. Otherwise it would be a fairly overlooked addition except for the smaller group of people who are simply enthusiastic about the aircraft.

It's not planned at the moment. But it's viable for a suggestion topic.

Its the same case as with the German Sea Hawk Mk 100 where the sidewinders were tested on the Mk 101.


And no, we do not plan to add SRAAM on the others as they all already have air-to-air missiles whilst GR.1 did not.
