I agree with the first part of your sentence. Lots of planes had problems. None of the problems that I know of has been fixed, though. Not even by far.
If you don't consider La-7 problems being fixed when its max climb rate slided down from over 30m/s to mere 27 m/s on the deck))- ca. 20% more that the 22,7 it really had And it still climbs up to 100% faster at height)
I16 climbed in the game 24 m/s earlier . Now it is 21 m/s- 50% more than the 14.5 m/s it really had)))))) Same case with I153 -50% more climb.


Now, what do you find fixed here?

Take a look at this fine Wiki article on I16, regarding the rate of climb.
