I would love to see the harrier on a map like a bigger mestia

seeing all those trees and swooping through them then switching to land vertically in a tiny cutting in the trees

Heh Mestia would be far too small. On fulll throttle u'd have to be in a constant turn to stay inbounds.

mestia like map, meaning the new mestia maps being made in the much bigger kashan format (if i understood the released info correctly) i think Rhino was making it and it showed a challenger tank on a hilltop overlooking the forest with the sun going down.

read the forums, and you will know, that there will never again be jets on Al-Bashra especially not in the Insurgentcy mode

Let's be the first mod to get this right:

*Edited for lack of research*

1 GAU-12U 25mm rotary gun for the AV-8B

Actually, it's no cannons for the GR9.

The RAF practise in the Welsh valleys, Mestia is a set of hillocks in comparison. Long series of mountains is more their terrority, anything less is a bit too tight and tree level is nuts, more what a heli would do

I have footage of a B52 clearing a mountain ridge by 30foot but unfortunately in the same video while training for an airshow it shows him stalling it with a total loss

Just for scale on the larger map below it shows Bala lake, Ive stood by that lake and watched a jet clear it in about 15 secs while about 200 feet off the ground

Just so you don't have to take Eddie's word for it, a link to the RAF page on the Harrier. Note how cannons are conspicuos by their absence.

No topgun dogfighting then

Hmmm... I stand corrected, the Gr.9s don't have cannons. Strange.

As far as the Eurofighter... I'm 99.9% sure it is fitted with a cannon. The RAF originally announced that it wouldn't, but there was an uproar among the pilots who demanded that one be installed.
