I am in support of small changes (and I have been advocating them for years now). Keep it small and eventually you will find the right values without breaking things.
The overnerf overbuf circle has going for far too long from Relic and I was actually unpleasantly supersized when it was continued when the community got involved in the patches.
+1
On the other hand, i understand why game design wise, over nerf and over buffs "work" better in some cases.

Alot of the so called "OP" stats ppl claim the JLI, has, they've had for the past 4 years, why wernt they OP then too?
What the mod team is doing excacly right, trying to find the sweet spot between when they were OP and never used where as thes weeboos want to triple nerf it into oblivion, ffs limited to 1? ridiculous

AAAAnd let's not exaggerate into the other direction. They have seen use, in different patches, specially when Scavenge was THE meta.
Even if the Ostwind was not THE vehicle for OKW, in the original 6 commander release, it still saw plenty of action as a Tier 2 commander due to grenade volley and been the only commander with a "decent" offmap to kill artillery.
They saw way less use when Volks got access to snare + STG44.
Compound reasons which made them OP:
CP requirement from 2 to 1.
-Must buy their sniper rifle for 45 munitions. Requires 1 truck to be deployed.
-Squad cost from 300 to 250.
-Reinforce from 37 to 31
-Reinforce time from 7.5 to 6
-Salvage ability now available; replaced by Thorough Salvage in Scavenge Doctrine.
-Veterancy requirements from 660/1320/2240/3520/4400 to 520/1040/2080/3120/3970
-Camouflage is now available at Veterancy 0
-Now has First-Strike Bonuses; increases accuracy by 50% for 5 seconds.
-JLI G43 Sniper Rifle light and heavy cover accuracy modifiers from 0.5 to 0.9.
-JLI G43 Sniper Rifle garrison accuracy modifiers from 0.5 to 0.9
It's basically a completely new unit.
