The bottom line here is the developers wont accept an estimation of the MV. We have had this in so many cases before the subject being reported was only done with estimates included and thus they were rejected based on that.

We will be changing the guidelines for historical reports to now reflect that only sources with a clear cut value of whatever is trying to be reported will be accepted. Since anything less will simply be rejected by the developers. So forwarding on guestimates and estimations is really irrelevant.

Path Length is not equal to a direct penetration figure. We also dont calculate shells in this way: https://warthunder.com/en/news/6010-development-improved-calculation-of-armour-penetration-in-the-game-en

This matter was previously forwarded to the developers.

Missiles in game are created based on a mixture of source material, closely tied to factual data and also developer discretion or balancing choices.

16G is the current overload is based on a combination of sources and the developers decision currently.

We had a response on the developers regarding this source.

The developers require a source in which the initial speed is indicated for as was the case with the Leopard 2A6 and DM53 as this was displayed on the Rheinmetall Website. Thus its possible to get accurate information.

Any conclusions from the above source are only subjective. A source with the specified initial velocity is required. Indirectly cited sources are not considered sufficient by the developers.

This is because if they consider this instance and act only on a rough calculation, It will create a precedent for subsequent similar cases.

Please do not make such false accusations. No law is being broken whatsoever.

You agreed to a legally binding ELUA. Nothing in that was broken on our side.

You were not promised the Harrier would stay at 9.3. You were not promised that its BR would not change.

All vehicles are subject to BR changes at any time, that has always been the case and always will.

They have literally just been moved up. Once we have seen the data from how they do here, then we can decide if it even needs to go up again.

Nobody was scammed. 9.3 was given as a preliminary BR based on the aircrafts flight performance. Nowhere was it ever said or advertised its BR would never be changed.

It was too powerful for 9.3 in game due to its armament mostly, thus has been moved up to 9.7.

All vehicles are subject to a BR change at any stage to balance the game. That on top of players feedback requesting a rise to 9.7 / 10:

You indeed do, you paid for a Harrier GR.1 and you still have your GR.1. At no point anywhere is it said, advertised or been even mentioned that premium vehicles cannot have their BRs changed.

All vehicles are subject to BR changes.

Harrier GR.1 never had countermeasures of any kind. The airframe could not equip them until the GR.3.

We just did this recently with 10.7. What people often dont comprehend, is its not just a case of "ok so just do it again".

You cannot expand out ranks, and thus the matchmaking player pool when there is not a viable population and stable matchmaking for all the new gaps you create and ranges you have changed.

BR expansion happens when its possible. Not when it suits an aircrafts personal needs.

How exactly? What source data do you have that they are overperforming compared to how they historically could?

Or perhaps such a system, given its capabilities was simply so expensive and complex, that it was simply too expensive for the government of the day to see through fully. Plus its development was not entirely lost, but went on to be part of many future projects, including some involvement in ASRAAM.

The missile performs how it historically should as per the best sources available to the public. If you have better information that shows its overperforming, please feel free to present it.

Nobody said they cant have it, but a choice of gunpod was not as necessary for release as air-to-air weaponry that is critical. Someone has already made a suggestion topic on it, so lets see where that goes.

SRAAM was demonstrated on Hawkers own company Harrier T.52 G-VTOL (itself a two seat modification of the GR.1 with minor differences) at the request of the ministry of defence on an investigation into its viability. It was also offered to the RAF on in service Harrier models as it was a self contained system that didn't lots required complex avionics. Ultimately SRAAM was canned by a defence review and the RAF were left with the option of simply buying off the shelf Sidewinders for their then Harrier GR.3 which had already begin replacing the GR.1.

The inclusion of SRAAM was to make Harrier GR.1 more appealing as without them, it has no air to air missiles open to use as this was the only one used within its timeframe. We have no plans to remove them.

Just to clarify also "in service" has never been a requirement to be in game. If you want to switch to that standard for this case, as the previous post mentioned you ...

https://warthunder.com/en/game/changelog/current/1171

We do not add vehicles in minor updates outside of events. We also never "forgot" to add it. We never said it was coming at all.

P-51A is also not in any current plans to be added again. It already exists in game as an exclusive vehicle (P-51A TL) and right now, we don't plan more examples of it any time soon.

So just a single day after the major update, you expect we can confirm anything at all?

Absolutely do not expect to here any details anytime soon for any nation.

Its possible that in the future some graphical elements may yet be improved, but really we just had a huge overall rework and not much should be expected right now.

There already is one. The changelog discussion.

183 and 165mm HESH shells were not working correctly. Both should be fixed.

A fix is imminent for 183 and 165mm shells.

Indeed and as far as I understand its already been fixed / imminent.

Not really sure where the logic from this conclusion comes from.

In this update, the UK just received 2 variants of one of its most famous post war aircraft.

And the rest of this year so far. A top rank jet in every update so far:

Also with 2 event vehicles this year:

WW2 had almost 4-6 years of undivided attention. There is only so much we can add from that era that keeps people interested and engaged.

It was very clear the community as a whole preferred an expansion upwards over an expansion of a lot of aircraft that don't interest everyone.

We are still adding WW2 content, but it is indeed correct to say its no longer the main focal point of development.
