I imagine it will be very, very, difficult to get a highly accurate determination of how many points each slot takes. The best we can probably hope for is a ballpark estimate, hence what I believe the anon is getting at regarding not worrying about the relatively minor loss of a few points here and there.

Yes, the X-02 does take a lot of points for the next slot above base. It would seem there is a set amount of points for each slot (X for slot 25, Y for slot 26, Z for slot 27, etc.), relative to the type of aircraft - fighter, attacker, multirole, bomber. I could be way off on that last part though. I was afraid that the scaling would be quite rough. It's basically the same system as the rank (lieutenant, major, colonel), except the rank stopped mattering for anything after major. I'm on othe fence as to if it's too steep for these slots, since as is you can already put almost the max part combo on the planes at that part-slot level.
