They have always stated, even from the very beginning of the roadmap, that the changes would only really be to rank VI-VII. That they also changed quite a few lower ranked vehicles is a bonus.
This just seems like a case of setting your expectations too high given the available information.
Hi, I haven’t written in the forum for a long time… but to give my opinion, I think the changes are really good, especially considering the planes that went up to Rank 7, since now you have more options to complete the 5/5 and move to Rank 8
