The most obvious one possible is the T25.
- Went from 5.7 to 6.3
- Lost its stabilizer
- Nerfed turret traverse (24 to 21 degrees/s)
- Nerfed with a 2 round ready rack (normal reload stayed the same at 7.5 seconds, but increases to 10 seconds without ready rack which didn’t happen before).
The only buffs it has received in the meantime are: M82 got buffed from 813 to 853 m/s, with an increase in pen from 173 to 185, which honestly doesn’t change that much, and the radiators vents on top of the hull got buffed from 5 to 10 mm.
Ability to drop a single bomb at a time sounds like a major buff really, wish I had that when I was still using a P47
Lol, T25 was with a stabilizer at a rating of 5.7?
If that’s the case, then I’m truly glad they nerfed him.

They gotta give you the Gaijin Glazer tag.

Indirectly ruined a few of my liked planes (usually japanese in this case) by moving them up in BR - R2Y2s went from 7.3 to 8.0, for example.
Ruined Fw190 flight models.
ATGM changes made the Marders ineffective and extremely annoying to play.
Ki-43-III lost 300hp overnight a while back and hasn’t been moved down in BR since.

For a very long time, the US gyrostabilizers were not as effective as they are now. Before update “Raining Fire” (came out on the 2nd of September, 2020), they had a maximum speed of 15 km/h, which was buffed to 24 km/h.
The T25 was at least already 6.0 (BR changes from January 2020, I haven’t found the exact BR changes when it became 6.3) when those changes happened. And about a year later after the stabilizers got buffed (update “Direct hit”), the stabilizer was removed.
So while yes, the T25 did have a gyrostabilizer back when it was 5.7, it was not nearly as strong as the gyrostabilizers you see today, and it was already at least 6.0 when the stabilizers got buffed.
Edit: found it, the T25 became 6.3 in early February of 2021.
Char25t. Used to be 7.3, got some buffs so it went to 7.7. Now it’s 8.0.
Amx-13 FL11. It’s a 3.7 tank at 4.3.
Amx-13 DCA 40. It was good at 4.3, now it is 5.0 without a lineup.
I’m starting to sense a theme here.

AMX-50 with 90 mm cannon. It was fine at the initial 7.3 br. Then increased to 7.7, and then up to 8.0 for some reason. Now its almost unplayble, because you’re sucked in full uptiers against Turm III, T-55AM/AMD, Leopard A1A1, etc.
I dont know if it’s just me not having played for so long but the premium corsair now seems to handle like **** in GRB . Has CAS been nerfed to suit the CAS complainers?

What exactly happend? I’m interested
I think it handles fine as usual. I just played it the other day. Still is a great CAS and CAP plane.

Just not pulling out of dives like it use to and feeling unstable ,keeps listing on is roll axis.
Might be me as I haven’t played for a while.I dont trust Gaijin not keep nerfing everything.
Ah the X-box exclusive?
F4U-4Bs got nerfed with more compression not too long ago. It’s historical as far as I know.
It does compress a bit more like @FlipAllTheTables said, but I’ve only done it once or twice recently. I generally don’t fly fast enough to compress and I’m not good enough to dive bomb and compress.
All you need to do is throttling down a little

If I’m not mistaken the F4U-5 had improved hydraulics which improved the performance at high speeds (among other changes like the engine).
That to say, please add the F4U-5 Gaijin. 🙂

I didnt know that
You got me there I do everything at 100% throttle : ) Bad habit
If you say its no different than it ever was then OK ,it me being out of practice.I have just played this game long enough to be paranoid.
Mhm. I was very happy to find out it would transfer with me to my PC account when I transferred! Got me a good bit of the way through the US TT
Lol. I dogfight at 100% most times, but slow it down when bombing. But don’t dive bomb in it. Even before the compression change it still doesn’t like it. Might just be me tho. I prefer glide bombing and horizontal bombing
