Recently I've searched for some data which compares new nations, planes and cvs, i've found only 1 topic (https://navyfield.com/Community/Forum/View.aspx?page=1&num=12498&category=D01&searchType=0&searchValue=comparison&pageCount=0&sort=5&page1=1) but without any detailed data why this nation is best and this worse, so i've made a doc with that data so the lazy ppl (like me ;)) can find everything in 1 place :)

in the future i would like to include to those comparisons some hotlinking to more detailed informations (like slot comparisons, engines, etc)

Notes:
FP:

- highest stat is marked with green
- 2nd highest stat is marked with blue
- lowest stat is marked with red (note: if more than 3 nations had lowest stat, marker is not presented)
- Nations which have +2 Ftr Bonus are marked with yellow

 Bombers:
- Colors as above, Nations which have +2 Bomber Bonus are marked with yellow
- Bombs weight are marked "less weight = better"
- IJN torps have modulated range (short - 6k, long in the doc)
- MN Torps have modulated speed (slow 42knt, fast are in doc)
- Mines are presented thx to use them on Scouts+Ftrs CVs ("RF")
- IJN M6A Seiran is considered as a TB Tier 0 to facilitate dividing other planes into tiers (only IJN has tb on such low lvl)

CV:
- colors as above (lowest stats are not presented)
- ECVs are incorporated into tiers (marked with italics and commentary)
- CVs were divided into tiers based on the amount of planes launched at once
- division into half tiers is based on plane capacity difference between them and basic models (i.e. CV 3.5)

Conclusion (top3 nations r presented mostly):

Fighters:
1. Best Fighters overall (key stats: Speed, Fuel, Power, DP) - US -> KM=IJN -> RM
2. Worse Fighters overall - UK/SN

3. Best Fp T3 - US -> IJN -> RM
4. Best Fp T4 - US -> KM/IJN -> RM

Bombers:
1. Best DB Planes (t1+t2) (key stats: DP, Fuel, Sight) - UK -> RM
2. Best TB Planes (t1+t2) (key stats: DP, Fuel, Sight) - KM -> RM -> US

3. Best Nation DB (bombs dmg) - SN -> KM/IJN/MN
4. Best Nation TB (torps dmg) - UK -> RM/KM
5. Most Dmg from Air dropped Mines - RM -> SN

CV:
1. Biggest CV Pool (widest choice) - IJN (15) -> UK (9) -> other nations (8 each)
2. CVs with bigges planes capacity - MN (1.34%-17,51%, average 7.44% more capacity than other nations cvs on similiar tiers) -> US
3. Lowest lvls needed for CVs (how many lvls faster we get a CV on certain tier) - IJN (1-8 lvls faster than other nations on similiar tiers)
