January 13, 200818 yr Defect Name: Runway too short for Harrier Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-071223 Scenario used: Runway too short for Harrier.hph Long Description: Beachhead Charlie, AAp, allows some versions of the AV-8 Harrier to land on it yet prevents other Harriers. I think that all Harriers should be the same type of aircraft utilizting the same landing restrictions/requirements. Sequence to reproduce: 1. Attempt to ferry Harriers from ship group AIs to AAp Expected behaviour: All Harriers should have the same landing requirements. Observed behaviour: Harriers have different landing requirements.

Observed behaviour: Harriers have different landing requirements. Not a bug only an little "inconsitency" in the db. Some Harriers are rated for large Helipads, some for VTOL
January 13, 200818 yr I was going to say, before reading the entire thread...is there such an airfield or runway not suitable for a harrier. Having observed them operate on land, and at sea, they need about nothing to land, and an extremely short distance to take off loaded. Seen them operating on a short "straight" stretch of a two lane road (Lyman Road aboard Camp Lejeune) just prior to OIF.

When they aren't carrying weapons they can just take straight off vertically like a chopper. It is a very impressive aircraft.

Exactly my point...but in conflict they do need a bit of forward movement to get aloft. In landing, they would come to a hover and just drop the land distance - guessing about 6in or less.

That´s why i rated them as VTOL in favour to large Helipad, in my db when i "reworked" the runway sizes. IMHO this matches the best for the capabilitys => short runway to take of.
