First of all, sorry for not answering but I have been way too busy in the recent days.
Now
@richardphat, Rackling : If you had read my first post, you would notice 2 things:
1) I know about baza's nf- calculator - I even mention that I used it to test some of
my results
2) What this program does is calculate TRUE ability for Different Levels and classings
at once, so you can easily compare them (fighters only). Now, let me post a
screenshot that perhaps will help you understand better:
(This is the result screen you get after you have input base, nation, boosted or not,
number of vets or experts).
@ MilwArchGuy : Indeed, I wanted to do this so I can exercise a bit, and also thought
it was something that confused many people, since you hear many stuff and there
have been many topics on the forums, so I thought, here, I can exercise with
something useful.
@Pegleg85 : As I state, this program only calculates the true ability, it doesn't say
which stats are useful or not. I haven't played much cv since the last patch and can't
really comment on whether fighter is the only thing that matters, but, even if this is
the case you can use this program to see his true ability with diferrent classings due
to different number of vets (remember that fighters when classed lose crew growth
which means a fighter ace can have less vets than a fighter only pilot if the same
level). For example, in the screenshot I posted you can see fighter ability for fighter
only is bigger than the other 2, because it is an example with maxed out vets and
experts (ofcourse this is way too expensive)
