I think you are misunderstanding me.
I said "I welcome that approach" - meaning I'm totally agreeing with you that some general categorisation is often better and less confusing than posting a bunch of numbers. It's easier to grasp. He who is interested in more detail may indeed look up numbers on the various other pages. It's a good thing.
I'm merely criticizing they
way you have done it. Instead of setting yourself some criteria and
checking them, you have done it "from the top of your head". Which often leads to plain wrong statements like the ones I pointed out above. I'm merely pleading for a more serious, or if you want "scientific" approach. Get your data together, define the categories and judge the planes accordingly.
While it may be difficult to tulips a very broad category like "maneuverability", things like "speed" or "acceleration" are indeed easy top sort out.
When new players see such a list, they normally tend to read it like gospel
So don't just post things from the top of your head - Always try to make sure it's correct info before posting instead of going into lenghty edits afterwards
BTW, did you ever visit:
