  • When to class pilots?

I have special forces sailors that are to be eventually fighters and bombers, is the
Aircraft skill important, or should I skip the level 25 classing into a Rookie pilot and wait
until they are at the level to be classed into fighter/bomber/tbomber?

If I class now, I'll get a higher stat in aircraft.

If I class later, They'll have increased stat in repair/restore or whatever else
They might also gain more exp per battle and be easier to level if I leave them
unclassed, but I'm not sure.

I hear that Aircraft does nothing for the other stats, and only works towards scout
toughness, but I'm not sure.

First thing's first, it's also important to tell us what nation these pilots belong too
because certain nations have special bonuses--USN in particular has better special
force bonus AND fighter bonus so it's like a +3 fighter.

I wouldn't keep them as rookie pilots for the sake of crew growth as that wastes on
ability growth bonus. Instead, get them to fighter/bomber class on time THEN you
can consider delayed growth (besides you'll lose out the fun with blitz in a CV).
Based from what I hear, if you want 200 vets on your pilots remain as fighter but you
want your garden variety, cookie cutter, 100 vets, promote to Ace; the differences for
this is almost negligible . NEVER go to Squadron Leader as that's where crew growth
penalty starts to hurt.

For the exact mathematic details, I recommend asking richardphat, he has posted
something about the exact details for this, esp. the USN chart. V2CxBongRipz is the
other guy I recommend since he's a vet CV driver.

If the Special force -> Rookie classing reducess sailor growth it would be wise to skip
it. If not... then it does not matter in the slightest.
