It probably won't effect the amount of points needed per slot, but when you get closer to the max number of slots, you can get a boost of two just like that. Of course, you may have trouble competing like that/earning the points, but it could be a strategic tool. No strategic worth at all. The level gained slots do not affect the points needed, you'll just be delaying your progress. People with level 1 F-22 had 3203 points to go, people with level 10 or even 15 had 3203 to go. That's why we're mentioning the base slots of a plane, the amount they came with before any extra gained.
