The Harrier 1 G capabilities where based on the AV-8A manual. The specific performance section of the manual was actually removed and completely redacted leaving in only placeholder charts without even specifying engine thrust setting used to get top speed. I have been informed that the performance section of the AV-8A/C manual is of no use by a real former AV-8A/B pilot.
There is however 2-3 other primary sources that contain max G capabilities and they all provide the exact same G values for AOA.
All that needs to be done is Gaijin gives the harrier 1 the lift coefficient seen in their own documents. (About 1.46 vs .98 in game)
These documents are all open source.
Here is the game data for given AOA and speed. About 1G lift is missing on average.
This test should have resulted in 8G .7 Mach 12.5 degrees AOA
This test should have resulted in 7G .65 Mach 13 degrees AOA
This test should have resulted in 6G .6 Mach 14 degrees AOA
This test should have resulted in 5G .53 Mach 15 degrees AOA

Maneuvering boundaries were defined in the same document.
No more than 15 degrees AOA at any speed, and lateral oscillations was the max tested for maneuvering boundaries.
They just don’t like that jet I guess
Its getting silly at this point now. The reports exist and so do the sources like just fix it gaijin.

What don’t you understand, they just don’t give a dam about realism. They just pretend they do for the advertising but they don’t.
They just do whatever pleases them and brings them money

Yeah but eh who understands Gaijin tbh
Not their own bank balance apparently.
The T.10 was so bad they removed it within a month or so.

It’s crazy when you think of all the money they’d make just by fixing all the harriers and making some sales on all premium harriers
