A shame they decided to introduce the S/VTOL variant of the Lightning II, yet did not allow it those capabilities. Why not stick with the C-variant, or even then, the A-variant? At least they could do away with the gunpod and the subsequent awkward angle it provides in CRA by using the A-variant instead. It makes me wonder why they're even bothering to introduce the Harrier as a DLC aircraft. Perfect solution would be to classify them as Helicopters.
