Simulation of a +12 UK fighter. Only valid for UK fighter pilot.
The difference between ace fighter and fighter alone.
That if we consider our ace fighter is classed on time.
Small difference between those 2, even less than 40k true ability. Advantage for ace
fighter over fighter alone is 1-2 level max.
Yet, we haven't talk about bomber stat. Yes, or not there is a fighter/ or bomber cap.
In short, there isn't a big difference about classing them right away or leave them as
fighter. You may consider leaving them as fighter only to save the bomber stat, as a
result your fighter gets better defensive agaisnt aaw.
Thus, it allows you to get closer to ship when you FC and your fighters may last longer
agaisnt AAW.
Some people are dreaming about that only :)
EDIT: forgot I had to explain. Thanks to comment about the missing info.
