They are using the training facilities

If the training facilities are on a resupply planet the AI might get some benefit, because ships/fleets sometimes remain there for several turns.

Yes, the AI can grab a few +% here and there this way. Ship training can be okay this way, but I don't think fleet training is worth it. Because the AI can break up fleet pretty easily.

Do we know for sure that 1% or 4% actually gives a ship that bonus. Or does it grow by levels, novice, experienced, etc with no middle steps.

Maybe we could mod an AI only resupply/training facility.

Other people play close attention to the AI's defence ships. Do they stay around on planet or move about in space.

We are real sure the experience adds directly to to-hit calculations.

Yes, yes we are.

It even adds DURING combat, Last I checked.

Big Bad Dreadnought #1 tears apart one ship of the line with weapons giving 70% accuracy.
As it turns its guns on the next ship, the accuracy is up to 71% due to experience

The training value adds directly to/is subtracted from to-hit calculations does it not?

One way of dealing with AI 'incompetence' in this regard is to let them 'cheat' and mod them to use the psychic training (applies over a system not a sector) ability.
