Harrier 1 Flight Model is completely incorrect

All the Harriers that fall under the first generation of harrier get i.e Harrier Gr1, Gr3, AV-8a ect all have huge downfalls on in game performance compared to there real life counterparts. Firstly the harrier gr3 should be able to do 740 mph in level flight, have a max altitude of 15,606 meters. this comes from the info sheet below a real harrier gr3 in Duxford IWM. I also managed to find the Official 1972 USMC flight manual of the AV-8A and its irl turn performance. It stated that with 2 aim9gs and at a gross weight of over 17,000 lbs that it could pull over 8 gs at around 450 knots. In the game the GR3 can barely manage this clean with minimum internal fuel. I checked this with a test flight with max fuel and 2 AIM-9Gs and at 500 mph it would only manage 6g overload not the 8 that is stated in the flight manual. I have it reported in the forum but well see if anything happens.
