[Rythena] AV-8A GR.3 Harrier - Attack Vtol

First off, when I say RAF I mean Rythena Air Force, not “Oi laddie nice mornin for some tea an’ crumpets” Air force.. The Harrier GR.3 Was introduced to the RAF in the 1980s as a light vtol strike fighter. The GR.3 was purchased because of its abundance of systems when compared to the GR.1 and GR.2 variants that had come before it. The GR.3 worked alongside aircraft such as the F-104G during its service and saw thousands of combat ours by its side. Notable Conflicts [Hawker Sidley GR.3 Harrier] 1982-1997 -1987 Invasion Of North Sawyer -GR.3s were used as fighter-bombers during the conflict to detur the small number of ground assets that the rebel forces obtained from reserves. -1991 Operation Sandstorm -GR.3s were primarily escort and interception platforms, armed with Aim-9Ls and External fuel tanks to extend their range and increase lethality. -1993 Operation Phantom -GR.3s utilized their exhaustless airframes in order to kill lightly armored/defended convoys at low altitude in low light conditions. Java Squad- The most notable squadron was SQ.16 “Java Squad” with a brown/blue based camo GR.3 Harrier as standard for the Squadron. Java squad has seen the lowest accident rate and highest readiness, and effectiveness. Java Squad still flies today in the unreleased (At the time of writing) Mig-29 SMT-R, Fulcrum. The Harrier would eventually be phased out of service in 1998 to allow aircraft like the F-225B to take its place, but the F-225B proved to be unreliable and dangerous in the RAF, so the harrier was brought back from retirement in 2004 to serve as a low cost alternatives to aircraft such as the F-111F and the F-16SW. The introduction of the A-30A and the F-115 would mark the end of the service of the GR.3 under RAF colors, and the remaining GR.3s can be found in museums such as the “Sawyer Military Museum” and the “Arid Air Force Museum”.

Part 1- Weapons Weapons can be armed using the Weapons Control Panel (WCP) Directly in front of the pilot, the WCP has the arming switches for the GBUs, Guns, and Drop Tanks. The underbelly mounted laser guided missile (AGM-09 Hatchet) can be armed via a switch on your mid-left hand side on the instrument panel! Side note, dont fire the gun while pitching down because the bullets can hit the nose due to gun placement! Part 2- Guidance The TGP (Targeting pod) can be deployed by pressing hotkey 4 on either your Joystick or your Keyboard. The TGP is extended under the nose due to space limitations, and uses helmet LOS to designate targets. The “Infrared” seeker for Air-Air missiles (Which are not equipped by default) is able to be activated using the tilted instrument panel to the top righthand side of the front of the cockpit, activating the seeker will start spooling the missile seeker heads, and will cause a tone to be emitted, this tone will signify nil-lock (no lock), but upon putting your nose on target, this will switch to a higher tone which will signify a lock which is prime-time to fire. Part 3- Flight This aircraft is not equipped with FBW (Fly by Wire), so it does not automatically correct for deviations from the aircraft’s set course, therefore trim is required when asymmetric load or structural deformation occurs. In VTOL mode, the aircraft will be stabilized if the Gyro is active, but this can be deactivated if needed. A known characteristic is the tendency to “Stall” if the pitch is brought to full negative, and if negative collective is applied, but this is easily countered via inputting the inverse control input. Part 4- Mouse Aim Mouse aim is avalible on this jet, but its very rudimentery. The mouse aim is made to operate in 1st person within the confines of the jets Heads Up Display to fine tune the jets direction when using rockets and or guns,

Lack of space sadly meant i had to remove the moving canopy, sorry for the inconvenience. -Battery (BAT) -Analog-Digital Computer (ADC) -Fuel Pump (Doesn’t need abbreviation, but here we are) -Jet I -Jet II SFTY (Safety Switch for Jet I) -INS Lighting -Heads up Display -Gyroscopics (for VTOL) -VTOL Master (or press Hotkey 5) -Hold starter until RPS reaches 0.5 -Upon Engine activation, Unlock Breaks (Startup Achieved) -Add Collective -Fold Gears -Deactivate VTOL -Deactivate Gyroscopics (Flight Achieved) -Skedaddle to enemy (Tomfoolery Achieved) -Fly to Base -Activate VTOL -Input control as needed -Carefully hover down and avoid rotor stalling -Deploy Gears -Activate Breaks (Landing Achieved)
