Harriers major lift problem that gaijin wont fix

[MatrixRupture]

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

[MatrixRupture]

Its getting silly at this point now. The reports exist and so do the sources like just fix it gaijin.

[AydanL44_Hunter]

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

[MatrixRupture]

The harrier is the most universal premiums lol

[AydanL44_Hunter]

Yeah but eh who understands Gaijin tbh

[MatrixRupture]

Not their own bank balance apparently.

The T.10 was so bad they removed it within a month or so.

[AydanL44_Hunter]

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

[MatrixRupture]

Next major is harrier update lol.

Give the American ones their IRL cockpits and HUDS.

Add VIFF and flight performance.

Add Kestrels and Indian Frs.51.

50% off all VTOL.

@MatrixRupture

Next major is harrier update

never ever

[MatrixRupture]

Yes sadly

[tripod2008]

@MatrixRupture

Next major is harrier update

I sort of think that the XFV-12A or Convair Model 200 is more likely than the Harriers getting any more attention.

[MatrixRupture]

I’d cry

[Spil1tia-psn]

lmao

[kizvy]

yo gng did you report this

[MatrixRupture]

Yep…. Twice.

Gaijin thinks it’s fine.

Not only that they provided a source from NASA.

In their own source its claims the harrier lift coefficient should be 1.46 it’s .97 in game. Their own source proved them wrong.

[tokerstar]

I pray they listen and we get a decemt FM on all harriers.
Thanks for the effort anyway.

[MatrixRupture]

Yeah I’ve started to run out of effort after they rejected a few of my newest reports.

Simply saying they don’t think it can sustain the G in the turn rate chart is just mental. Really burns you out. Why bother making reports and finding documents if gaijin wouldn’t even listen to them.
