Embark on an unparalleled journey through time with the Av-8B Harrier II VTOL Jet, a masterpiece of a fighter aircraft. This experience offers an extraordinary opportunity to engage in three distinct “what-if” scenarios, pushing the boundaries of imagination and simulation. As you step into the pilot’s seat, each mission commences with a thorough analysis of your strategic flight plan, target objectives, and mission directives. Armed with the knowledge you need, you can then handpick your arsenal and take to the skies for a heart-pounding, hyper-realistic encounter, launching either from an aircraft carrier or a forward air base.
In 1992, the masterminds behind the iconic Harrier Jump Jet conceptualized military scenarios that revolved around real-world flashpoints. The outcome of their creativity is manifested in three captivating, ten-day campaigns set in the Falklands, Hong Kong, and Finland. Within the immersive Hong Kong campaign, the RAF’s GR5/7 takes on an array of rarely-seen Chinese fighter aircraft, including the enigmatic Jian-6 and the formidable Shenyang J-8 “Finback.”
Behind the scenes, the development team dedicated significant efforts to achieving a level of realism that is truly exceptional. Their meticulous attention to detail even extended to modeling the Harrier’s signature vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capabilities. Collaborative sessions were held with experienced Harrier combat pilots and engineers at the prestigious Royal Airforce Station Wittering (RAF Wittering), renowned as the “Home of the Harrier” and the central hub for the RAF A4 force.
For enthusiasts of air combat simulations, Harrier Jump Jet should unquestionably hold a prominent place in your collection. Begin with a series of practice missions to grasp the intricacies of this distinctive aircraft. Once you feel confident, elevate the stakes by venturing into the Elite difficulty level, where a formidable challenge awaits.
