For AIR RB doesn't worth it. If you're CAS enjoyer + Wallet Warrior buy it

[fajniedobrze]

As for air RB this machine is not worth buying, subsonic with four AIM-9L is hopeless but as for ground RB this machine can be quite good. AIM-9L is enough for ground, we have four AGM 65G, Thermal T-POD with high resolution, laser guided bombs, GPS bombs, you can even quickly reload at the heliport and let's not forget that this is a premium machine good for getting silver lions. The machine is also lower than the tree version so it will only gain on the downtier. This machine is added purely for walletwarriors and ground players who do not want to waste time on the tedious grind of the air tech tree.

the JDAM is pretty good for killing ground unit in ASB, if you are in a room max 11.3, or 11.3 -12 .

I’m a harrier player and from my experience with this has been amazing don’t go into a harrier expecting to be the best aircraft get used to it and you will perform well I get lots of kills with this in air RB

[missingthes]

I was actually planning to buy this but I am reluctant after serious thought. I don't play ARB, only Sim, in this mode there is no 3rd person view nor a big green bullseye float across the ground in front of you so you have to rely on other methods to drop.

Now currently you can just put your jet into a shallow dive to stay aligned and use your pod view to move from target to target very rapidly and easily get 10 kills in one pass. I can do this in my tech tree jet too. But there is a problem.

The JDAM isn't a winged bomb, it is behaving like a winged glide bomb in game but in reality it has a parabolic drop more like a standard LDGP bomb, just one that can make small corrections in its drop to hit more accurately. In other words the JDAM is massively over performing and like the A-6 Intruder that originally had very agile GBU's, these JDAMs will be nerfed.
Once this nerf happens, the jet will be limited like the A-6 to using the CCRP to put bombs on target and will effectively drop only one at a time as maintaining a nose down attitude that doesn't exceed the soon to be very narrow drop parameters and then shifting the crosshairs from target to target and dropping will be next to impossible.

It's fun now but soon enough you'll understand why it's at 11.7 and not 12.7.

I wish people would just review premium content and stop talking about what they cost. Everyone sees what they cost and it’s up to them to determine if they want to buy it or not. They just want to know how it performs. FFS.

[CoolLink-Zelda]

I am a big fan of underdog planes(man i am masochistic enough to enjoy playing the Tornado MfG) so i am definitely going to pick the AV8b up but when it goes on sale

[Stirfry_Gaming]

They really better not nerf the 10 JDAM, it’s not much else without it.

[laxmannate]

Very good at CAS. AGM 65G is great for sniping enemy AA and opening up the skies for more friendly CAS

[Stardust_the_F-C]

I do Honestly want this thing for thr fun of it. Lower BR then 8B+. And the 8B (NA) gets a thermal pod with ATGMs and more...

Part of the reasoning is to get the F-111F easier...

[leonardo-m]

Seeing the model of the Na it more similar to an harrier gr5 in the nose so im got the feelong gajin is also adding it for uk but much worse

[mahejo]

I would get it on a sale and then use it for SL maker with its bonus... I don't understand why you didn't comment on that in your video. I know people don't want players to bring in bombs in ARB. But come on. It gets a 1020% SL bonus. and the reward multiplier for using 1000lb is higher then using the incendiary. Like double; so you only need to go for one base and still make bank.

PS. I don't have it. But I'm planning on if it gets on sale. Then I'll test my SL theory. But it has been tested on other Premiums and it should be the same.

[Ruggedcoyotegaming]

No plane is worth the amount of money they cost in this game

[hueyar]

I don't need it, but I'm going to buy it when it's on sale because I love attack aircraft and in particular American Harriers. Plus, you can play more relaxed than in the top tier AV-8B+.

[maxdavidyermolaev]

its for the level 7 that really really love the harrier

[GroaNz]

When it was fresh on the live server the thrusters aren't modeled, like for example you put the thrusters to 75% angle THEY DONT MOVE ITS STILL FUCKING BUGGED. not worth a single dollar

[thunderingsky]

take 10 gbu bomb base at arcade at 20-30k ft dont tell this to someone

[iskanderbaert]

i just love the harrier so im buying it

[Chronesys]

More planes with all aspect missile, amazing. the 104S will be even more unplayable

[Lxcx]

Only good 11.3 CAS so if you don't want to play F-111F at 11.7 ground then get this it is good
