So flying a Falkland's style mission Mike has created for 1(F) Squadron, my pair found ourselves against a pair of Mirage (in which this damage took place)....well we dispatched both enemy jets then provided CAS to the lads at Goose Green and killed 5 enemy helicopters on the route back to HMS Hermes.
Needless to say trimming it out was a challenge

Thats impressive. That birds a bitch to trim out after you've fired a mav off of the wing.

Very much so, she hates being unbalanced......it was very twitchy to say the least even after the initial panic trim once Chris preformed a BDA and i found out the extent of the issue!
I also opted for a rolling vertical landing as a posed to the conventional vertical landing to the Hermes due to the twitchy nature of the damage.

Re: Harrier vs Mirage
Nice flying.
I'm looking forward to the Falklands map. Not sure why it's taking so long. Be cool to do joint ops harrier /huey.

Andrew, stick a message to Mike (Oz555) from 1(F) Squadron he was talking about getting your Hueys involved in these missions so we can have joint Harrier and huey missions now.
