Let me explain it in another way:

When you play a match without using fuel, you get a message saying: "The standard-issue jet fuel crippled your aircraft capabilities, resulting in a poor amount of data collected in your report". This is just an fancy way to say that you did not make much progress. A match like this results in a 1x multiplier for research, credits and experienc gained , lets say that 5% in each of the 3 researches you have right now , and about 5000 credits.

However if you use a supplied fuel you would get: "Using quality-grade jet fuel resulted in achieving the nominal capabilities of your aircraft, resulting in a good amount of data collected in your report". This time you get a 2x multiplier for rewards, granting you 10% of research done and 10000 credits.

At last but not least, using Stocked Fuel gets you: "The UNF premium-grade jet fuel boosted your aircraft capabilities to a outstanding level , resulting in great amount of data collected on the field , a special bonus have been issued to you". This time you'll get 3.5x more rewards : 17.500 credits and 17.5% of research made, which is the standard that you get right now using fuel.

This way, using fuel gets you alot of credits and research (the same that you would get with the game like it is right now) and only 1/3 without using it. This would not affect the game for those who pays to play, but also mean that anyone can play freely.

Adding to what you said about planes, lets say that you get a performance report from a match that counts all of your feats in a single match similar to how you earn credits: Medals won , points scored , times shot-down , number of enemies destroyed , grade of enemies destroyed , victory bonus , MVP bonus and so on , and your aircraft BASE cst would be deducted from your final score , so the lowest-tier of planes would deduct the LEAST amount of points. This is a fair ranking system, your aircraft matter , but your skills that count.
