Leveling Speed

Planes gain a certain number of internal proficiency points with some random variance every time they participate in Aerial Combat or Detection. The amount gained depends on the exp-rate group of the plane.

Detection: Seaplanes, Recons, Large Flying Boats

Aerial Combat: Fighters, Dive Bombers, Torpedo Bombers, BomberSeaplane Bombers, Seaplane Fighters, Jets, Land-based Bombers, Interceptors, Land-based Heavy Bombers

LBAS Attack, LBAS Defence, Jet Assault, and LBAS Jet Assault also count as Aerial Combat.

• Each LBAS Attack wave counts as one round of Aerial Combat, so planes attacking the same node twice gain experience twice. There is no Detection for LBAS, so recons (including Land-based Recons) do not gain experience.
• Because Seaplane Bombers participate in both Aerial Combat and Detection, they effectively level twice as fast as other planes of their group in most cases.
• Jets receive experience from both Jet Assault and the following Aerial Combat, effectively leveling twice as fast as other planes of their group in most cases. However, Jet Assault does not occur against all-submarine fleets, so they gain experience only once in this case.

Leveling speed is measured in the estimated number of battles it will take to get a plane from no rank to ❱❱ .
