The biggest bonus from plane proficiency is giving a fighter power bonus to help during the [[Aerial_Combat#Air_Control|air control phase]]. The innate bonus is added onto the fighter power bonus of the relevant plane to get the full fighter power bonus.

Carrier-based planes can be ranked anywhere. The most resource-efficient way is to send them on sorties to surface nodes with little to no air power. It is possible to rank them through [[LBAS]] but it gets expensive. The following are recommended spots:

Land-based planes can only be ranked through [[LBAS]]. This makes ranking them quite expensive. Outside of events, only [[7-4]], [[6-4]], and [[6-5]] have LBAS available to use for now.  
Land-based planes can only be ranked through [[LBAS]]. This makes ranking them quite expensive. Outside of events, only [[World_6#6-4|6-4]] and [[World_6#6-5|6-5]] have LBAS available to use. Of these, '''6-5 is the best place''' because it allows the use of two land bases and has a Range 1 submarine node at B. This allows any land-based plane to be rank and only requires a fleet of at least 1 light cruiser and a mix of destroyers and destroyer escorts.

Of these:
 +
*'''[[7-4]] is the best place''' as it has multiple submarine nodes that are easy to reach, and are on the main resources farming route. This allows any land-based plane to be ranked while doing regular "risk-free" resource farming.

*[[6-5]] is also a good place, as it allows the use of two land bases and has a Range 1 submarine node at node B, that can be reached using 1CL and a mix of DD & DE.
