Harrier hardpoints
-
Hi all. I’m a little new to messing around with BMS, but i’ve been learning the harrier lately. I’d like to edit the hardpoints or find an update/file that does this.
things i’d like:
1. load TGP on centerline hardpoint.
2. remove AGM-88s. (pretty sure Harrier can’t carry these)
*I know some campaigns have been edited to allow the harrier to carry TGP on centerline, wondering if theres a hardpoint file(?) or something I could copy or if this easy enough to edit?

1. When TGP is carried on centerline hardpoint then you can’t carry jammer ALQ167 , as that’s the only hardpoint AV8B can carry it . (DECM on centerline) .
Since the most used maneuver with TGP is circling around target, to/from, then is better to carry it actually under a wing hardpoint , as gun pods on “chin” 4a - 4b hardpoints can reduce angle of LOS of TGP, you should be more above the target then to a side , but that can be also solved with height, depends on situation
-
also there’s some pro/cons with those TGP configurations: when on centerline, you can choose your turn left/right with smaller LOS if gun pods are carried… , but when under a wing it can always be only one of the turn, left OR right, depends under which wing TGP is mounted
-
also, if you carry fuel tanks , then TGP is better before fuel-tank … so you don’t block the view
m= aim9/amraam ; B=agm/mk82/83(lgb/jdam) ; T=tgp ; F=fuel ; J=alq 167(jammer) ; G1/G2=gun/ammo pods
eg. m - B - T - F - G1 - J - G2 - F - B - B - m
or. m - T - B - F - G1 - J - G2 - F - B - B - m2. … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-122_Sidearm she can carry 2 HARM’s , you’ll even find pictures if you google-foo enough, but Corps also use (used?) this one for light armor sam’s…
edit: jammer is actually this one , not alq167, but ALQ-231 : https://www.navair.navy.mil/product/ALQ-231-Intrepid-Tiger-Pod

Hi, Vyrago, I’m pretty sure you can do that via the BMS Editor
