The McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II (Night Attack) is one of the most exotic aircraft ever built. Originally a british design, the Harrier comes equipped with swivelling nozzles, and a deadly arsenal of sensors and weaponry for missions such as SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defences), air-to-ground missile strikes, CAS (Close Air Support) and precision bombing with a targeting pod and both unguided and guided bombs. Prepare yourself to discover a whole new world of hurt when trying to land on the Tarawa.
