As I have said many times before, if the stats show it needs to go to 9.7, it will. If it performs as badly as some make it out to be, it will show.

Please check the title and opening post of this topic. Exactly what was asked for in this topic is whats coming. A historical Soviet service PFM.

Two points:

1) As I have already explained, its New Years + Russian holidays, so the developers are not fully around and non-critical issues wont be able to be dealt with

2) Two videos from two content creators is not worthy of a knee jerk reaction to change things based on that. Once stats have been gathered properly, if the BR needs to go down, it can. If further consideration needs to be given to historically backed up armament, it will. But so far, whats been provided will require the consultants to check and validate more.

Oh yes those. I thought he meant new ones.

They are still secondary sources and again we are talking about an unconfirmed experimental aircraft here which other sources conflict with.

So again, it will be forwarded when possible as a suggestion with those secondary sources and then the consultants will need to do further reviews to confirm if its correct and then its down to the developers to decide upon as they have the final call.

Im not even sure what new sources have been posted as thel last few pages appear to be a bit of a mess. But any sources should be added to a historical report. If they are irrelevant, then they wont be used.

He is mistaking a Bulgarian MiG-21PFM that has a similar camo to the Soviet Afghanistan era conflict camo. Many Warsaw pact nations that took on PFMs took them on with Soviet inspired camos.

There was no "conflicting information". The aim of this topic was to make it a historical PFM and thats exactly what happened. Some people are then aiming to make this plane something it is not.

Im not really sure what your point is here. You yourself even mentioned earlier how Bulgaria and several others took on ex-Soviet PFMs as well as other MiG-21s as well as the fact that countless Warsaw pact states used inspired styles of Soviet camouflage and repainted their own markings over the top.

The camouflage the PFM in game has is a standard Soviet one of the era that was also used on ones in Afghanistan and there are countless examples and variants of it:

Its not a Bulgarian skin. Its a USSR skin which you are misinterpreting.

Do you have a War Thunder video you would like to share with the world? An epic scene of heroism, a hilarious mistake or just random awesomeness? Then liste...

Hello

All vehicles introduced to War Thunder have a dynamic Battle Rating, meaning they are never fixed in one position and it has been this way since Update 1.37 in 2014. If a vehicle goes down in BR, it means its statistically not performing well and if it goes up in BR, it means its performing above the average for its BR. The Harrier GR.1 is able to perform exceptionally well at 9.7 and thus, its BR was raised to 10.0 where it is still able to very well, but is more balanced here and is still very much able to do all the things it did before.

Regarding repair costs, they are calculated based on the earnings people make with a vehicle. For it to have the repair cost it has, it means people are typically earning far more than that with it in battle on average. Should that income level change, then the repair cost will be adjusted in the next economy patch.

If we only had "operational" status weapons platforms, we would have to remove 50% of all aircraft, tanks, shells and weaponry from the game.

Harrier GR.1 never had AIM-9G. SRAAM is the only air-to-air missile that was proposed for GR.1, intended by Hawker to be used and tested by them for use with the RAF.

F-13 is the first and one of the most iconic version as well as the main version that fought in Vietnam. Thus it was the first to join the game with SMT not far behind it.

This link convolutes things even more as it claims the PFS is an entirely seperate aircraft to the PFM, which is then further backed up here:

This one is the one source we have so far that solidly confirms it, but its secondary. We need something stronger.

Because its a marketing photo with weapons simply laid out for people to see. You cannot fire SRAAMs without the pods and the pods always have X2.

Again, why we are going off topic here with the GR.1 when the PFM as it stands now has its fully historical and correct payload is pointless. The PFM thats coming is exactly what this topic was asking for. Historical.

Im not really sure why we keep going back to the GR.1 having explained it so many times. But the difference being GR.1 without the SRAAM it has no air-to-airs whatsoever, making it far more problematic to balance. MiG-21PFM on the other hand had air-to-air missiles in soviet service and will be perfectly fine as an upgrade to MiG-21F-13. As we have already explained with the BR. If 10.0 is not suitable and it performs poorly, the PFM like every other plane can be adjusted.

Some of the sources you posted in the report even conflict and disagree:

As well as:

So at the moment, the only source mentioning clearly PFM is this: http://aviadejavu.ru/Site/Crafts/Craft19985-3.htm

Which is again secondary at best.

The plane is going to be available before Russian holidays are over. As I said we have New Year now for most of the world then Russian Christmas holidays starting basically right after.

As I said this is also not a bug. Its not something missing from the actual PFM. Its an experimental configuration so far only backed up by one secondary source. So at best its a suggestion and will require the devs to search for more sources to ac...

Very unlikely now since its New Years + Russian Holidays for the majority of Jan. Being capable of and actually firing are two separate things too. If our Bis had them, then as I said, a historical report is all thats needed for the devs to consider it. But its also down to them to decide what receives what.

I am only relaying the information I have on the devs and that is that our version, was not equipped with them in this configuration. If you have evidence to show it does, then please forward a historical report.

They are not half a year behind. Mirage IIIC was added 7 months ago. It was stronger than the SMT which USSR had to wait a year for the Bis to now come. Sweden already has one of the strongest jets and top tanks in game, having been in game barely a year.

We just raised the BRs to 10.7. If 11.0 was possible, we would have done it already.
