This was done in arcade mode with current 1.39 DEV server. Little test made to compare the roll rate of the A6M3 mod22 that we have on the 1.39 Dev server versus what we have now in 1.37 in Arcade mode. All zero's, A6M2's, A6m3 mod22's and a6m5's have now a hard control stiffening in arcade mode, rolling and turning past 300 Km/h is extremely difficult, and not only they became bricks but them Battle rate didn't changed for all of them ( M2's BR 3.7, and A6M5 otsu BR 5.3 for example ) and the reward percentage became lower by 10% for some of them. Take off test is synchronized at when the planes speed is 1Km/h and start to move. So what we get ? Slower planes, worse climbing, can't maneuver past 280Km/h sitting at BR 4.3 with reduced reward percentage that will face even better opponents than now since many Russian and US planes get down-tiered for some mysterious reasons. Of course non of the other planes in this arcade game mode seems to have control stiffening, only the zero's seems to have it ... So basically everything out-gun, out-run and will out-turn you at almost any speed unless you do the sitting duck easy prey at 250Km/h in the skies waiting to be BNZ by the first plane who will pass around .. A6M2 and A6M2 mod11 roll and turn worse than the mod22's in the video, the mod22 ko is the same thing as on video, A6m5 slightly better but suffers from the same hard limitations in AB, didn't spent much time testing those anyways, only the A6M3 with clipped wings still is able to roll at higher speeds and is less affected. Seriously Gaijin ??, and FW's, Yak3's Yak3p's, LA7's and P51's will be what those planes have to fight against and some like Yak3, I-185 have a lower BR than those bricks you made us in 1.39 for arcade mode ? Also take note that the A6M3mod22 passed from a BR of 4.0 to 4.3 in the patch 1.37.42.1, but he didn't had any reward percentage increase and his research bonus percentage didn't moved, still 42 % when it should be 48% same thing for many other Japanese planes who got up-tiered in 1.37.42.1. Worse than this, some planes still in the tier 2 have a BR of Tier 3 planes, like the A6M2 and A6M2mod11 coming in 1.39, so using those planes to research some aircraft's you get penalized like if you was using tier planes, same thing with the A7he1 that will pass to a BR of 2.3, so a Tier 2 plane still considered and penalized as a tier 1 plane, same thing with the premium FW 190 A5 that ill have a tier 4 BR of 5.0 but sitting in the tier 3 of the Japanese tree and getting penalized as being onlya tier 3 plane and his reward% passes from 100+100% to 90+90% on the top of this. Most of those planes didn't get an increase in reward percentage when moving up on BR's, nor research bonus percentage increase and get multiple times penalized as some are sitting in a tier but get the BR's of the next tier so they are less efficient to research new planes. Nice changes there ... like if Japan wasn't already the least used Nation in AB and the most over-tiered one there, nope, needs to to slaughter it even more and give them no chances at all to fight in fair conditions, let's just make the Russians and US planes BR's go down instead and we can even get them lower rewards to be sure they will not succeed ... What's next ? Zero's versus Mig15's jets in 1.41 version ??
