Don't worry about stats, they are false, confirmed in various forums.

First of all, there are "jumps" at level 4, 7 and 12 or 13, where the plane gets an higher improvement than other level ups of all stats and not shown directly in the bars, other than lock-on range increase at level 4, for example. Stated that a level 4 F-16C with Cst (at that level) of 474 does more damage than a level 1 F-14A which got 475 Cst, even if both got E+. F-14A got even higher, closer to D, but it got lower damage.

Second, the more you raise the stat, the less you get improvements. It is not a case if to get from E+ to D to D+ to C etc you need only 1 segment, while to get from S to S+ you need 2 and from S+ to S++ you need 3. When you hit S, the improvements are really tight over that point. For example, Warheads L may give +30% damage in any plane from F to B (as long as they don't hit S with that part), but on planes already at S or close (S+ even worst), you will barely get a +5% damage, if you're lucky.
