Gerald · 12-14-13, 02:41 PM

I got me that you had them before,are these special equipment..

Jimbuna · 12-14-13, 02:45 PM

I already have three Whirlwinds, two Pumas and fourteen Harriers but those on order are different versions/new releases.

Gerald · 12-14-13, 02:49 PM

Fourteen Harriers!!! Good for the RAF to know who they should call if it's getting crisis,

These models Jim are showing us, is without no doubt some fine samples, however..

They are useless...espacially in the old and the new fleet command (it is a naval sim game.)

When I have a scenario with some English figterplane like the Sea Harrier I change it to some French or Russian fighter planes.

I tell you even the MIG23 or the old Skyhawk have no problems shooting down a Sea Harrier.

Maybe it's the programmer, that hates English fighter planes and love Russian and French fighter planes.

sorry for this little off topics

Ah, right I understand now and yes I do suspect the programmer is showing a fair amount of bias against the Harrier.

The best/fairest way is to compare the aircraft only when actual/factual encounters took place so I'll give it a go.

Argentina lost 20 Skyhawks during the Falklands conflict and the Harrier was credited with destroying 8 of them.

MirageIII losses were 2 and 1 was as a direct result of the actions of a Sea Harrier.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argenti..._Falklands_War

In comparison the UK lost 9 Harriers, none of which were as a result of any engagements with Argentinian aircraft.

The Argentinian pilots were very well trained and extremely brave but IMHO their aircraft were no match for the Harrier.
