Do I need to concern about the Aircraft ability when I want to roll a fighter or bomber?Or just a +12 fighter/bomber is good enough??

There is no new guide or stickied topics on Stats or Ability.

so it means aircraft is useless for all pilots?
and why do they still disable the ability?did they explain?

Bombers with higher abilities tend to drop their bombs more accurately during max altitude manual drop.

You can check the patch notes for all the changes to the abilities.

Aircraft ability used to be linked to a plane's sight distance but was bugged and gave ridiculous sight range...

A Similar situation with AAW, the only other disabled stat...

This happened a very long time ago in Beta...

Sorry, they don't.
Bomber ability for bombers increases their offensive ability vs other planes and their defensive ability vs other planes/AA/AAW.

Bomb Dropping is a set of actions dictated by AI, nothing related to stats of the pilots or planes.

The damage done is another set of variables I won't go into but pilot stats do not effect damage done.

So fighter ability is the best for scout?

Honestly I would say high restore and repair are best for a scout. Scouts aren't going to be scoring a lot of shoot-downs even if their dogfighting is above average, but their effects on repairs and restoration are useful and well-understood.

Aircraft and good secondary stats (repair and possibly restore if you want to use it on a CV).

I can't believe players still have such questions so many years after the game release.

and don't get me wrong, it's not like it's the player's fault. I bet NO ONE knows for sure what works and what doesn't.
there's NO ONE at SDE to know for sure what's going on with stuff in the game.

pff.
