The "Barrier" was only ever there as an intentional result of MM national brackets. Now that has been resolved, the barrier has also been resolved. it was not an intentional addition but a side effect and we don't plan to return or add any barriers.

Please re-read what I said as you and others are very much misinterpreting what I have said several times.
New aircraft do not magically appear overnight. They take months of development and we have 9 nations in game. USSR had to wait 1 year between SMT and Bis, meanwhile the Mirage IIIC has been in game only 7 months.
This is an entirely different aircraft and project altogether. The SRAAM as showed here in the above photo with the GR.1 had only one workable method of launch at the time and was very clearly being marketed by Hawker for use on the GR.1 in the way in which it was tested both under Hunter F.6 and Harrier T.52. The project above is an entirely separate development away from the GR.1 and away from the standard SRAAM that was tested.
Its common practise in marketing / demo shots for weapon systems to be displayed off rails and outside of launchers.
Its also very clear from Hawkers own marketing of the SRAAM how they intended to have it on any aircraft practically:
Time periods are irrelevant in most cases from a gameplay point of view. SK.60 came out later than Mirage IIIC but it does not mean it should be 10.7 alongside it.
USSR went 1 year between SMT being added and now, more recently Bis, its two top units. By comparison, Mirage IIIC has been in game since May of this year and was on its, arrival, instantly one of the top jets in game.
All nations move forward over time. Its not a case of "the stats are good so no need to more", its a case of more is on the way and in development, but in the meantime, the Mirage IIIC is still one of the top aircraft in game and by no means "killed" or "dead" as some are making it out to be.
Perhaps a testament to their design then that the "outdated" by your standards Mirage IIIC is still one of the best performing aircraft in game after the Phantoms and MiG-21s
F.1 is very unlikely to be the next to come. So I would re-adjust your expectations.
Yes. As I said, its New Years Eve today and Russian Holidays almost immediately after. Even if the reports were forwarded today it would not make a difference.
Reported issues are fist tested for replication by Technical Moderators, then forwarded to the developers for resolution.
The photo is to demonstrate the intended / maximum weapon choice loadouts for the GR.1. It was a promotional photo taken before the decision to scrap SRAAM (Due to cost).
SRAAMs can only ever be fired from its two pod launcher:
Both on the Hunter and Harrier, it was never tested with only 2 and the only photos showing it fitted to Harrier show 4 missiles:
Historical from the sense that this is the only air-to-air missile intended for GR.1 in its service life, was actually tested by Hawker for implementation on Harriers and further backed up by evidence showing it with GR.1s.
Exactly the same as the Sea Hawk Mk.100 has AIM-9B or the G-LYNX / Lynx AH-1 has all the weaponry they have in game.
Thanks. These will be tested as soon as possible.
SRAAM is the only historical Air-to-Air for GR.1 and will not be removed from those that purchased it. AIM-9G would be entirely unhistorical on GR.1.
We will forward the ones relating to issues with the performance etc as soon as possible.
However the R-3R report is not a bug but a suggestion as its not missing from the PFM and the devs will not treat it as a bug as they are well aware Soviet PFMs did not have these missiles. Especially as all of the sources you have included even themselves quote it as a MiG-21PF/FL.
Regardless of when they go, its also very unlikely anything will be changed soon as its now New Years holidays and then Russian holidays for the first half of January.
We will need proper reports to forward.
A suggestion was already passed for them. Its down to when the developers decide as of now.
Helicopter EC is treated as Arcade Battles. Its not a bug.
We do have the data actually. Because thats exactly how we monitor vehicles and change their BRs accordingly. For a vehicle to get an increased BR, it means it had to have been performing above everything else at its old BR. Which the Harrier very clearly was. So far its showing as fine at 10.0 also.
Dynamic BRs have been part of the game since update 1.37 in 2014. Nobody was sold this vehicle on the promise or advertisement that its BR cannot change. Any believe or perception of that was entirely self created.
This is not how BRs work.
Its nothing to do with myself. For the BR to have gone up to 10.0, it means that the majority of people playing it were doing just as well as me.
"Just do it" is very easy to say completely overlooking the negative impacts of expanding BRs too quickly has on the matchmaker. When its not your risk to take, you overlook the side effects of the change and what impact that has on the game.
The Harrier is performing fine at 10.0 and more than competitive still.
When its possible to do so, we always expand the BRs. However we only just recently went to 10.7 and higher than that is not possible at the moment.
I think you misinterpreted what I said.
I died because I messed up. Positioned myself poorly and paid the price by bad flying when I died and got no kills. That was also the minority (2 games). Im not the greatest of jet players and was still able to enjoy all those games regardless of the BR and if I died or not. The point was, even in the hands of an average or below jet pilot (me), its still more than a great aircraft at 10.0.
