VIFF Port and VIFF Starboard - DFF
These manoeuvres cause the Harrier to 'Vector In Forward
Flight'. This is a manoeuvre unique to the Harrier where the jet
nozzles can be rotated to give a rapid deceleration.
When timed correctly the VIFF can shake-off a pursuing aircraft
or missile.
After these manoeuvres the Harrier will have deviated from its
previous flight path. These are the
only manoeuvres that allow you to deviate from the flightpath while
retaining your forward direction.
DFF: Deviate From Flight path.
Two manoeuvres are awarded, VIFF port - DFF and VIFF starboard -
DFF.
The VIFFs are triggered by key-code.
The codes to use are given here.
This award may be won in mission Lure.
