So in April they moved the BR of the F-80C to 8.0. However this was supposedly done because they were giving it unlimited WEP.
According to the information gathered in the reply below they argued that it shouldn’t happen because the F-80C used water injection and had a limited WEP and should stay at 7.7 with limited WEP.
GAIJIN TOOK THE UNLIMITED WEP BUT ITS STILL 8.0

Changes:
Air Realistic Battles: 8.0 → 7.7
Remove the ability to have unlimited WEP (Bug Report)
Give the F-80C-10 its missing JATO units (Bug Report)
Reasoning: I fail to see the justification for moving the F-80C Shooting Star to 8.0, the same BR as the F-86A Sabre. The F-80C-10 is not comparable to the F-86A-5 or the MiG-15 in terms of flight performance. This proposed BR change should be reverted, keeping the F-80C-10 at 7.7.
In exchange, it should not have unlimited WEP…

Literally every 8.0 seems bad when compared to F86 and MiG 15

sabres make the 7.0-7.7 jets unplayable its a real shame. I know its majorly compression but good lord they are egregiously low

Moved down because the f104… which eventually got nerfed and now isn’t an enormous problem
doesnt really make sense for it to be lower than a venom, honestly it could be the same BR as hunter F1 and still be meta

Same with the F9F variants, without unlimited wep bug they are irrelevant at that BR
