Problem with the plane comparison Matrix....

Trying to do some research with this, unfortunately, appears to be buggy.

Tried to do a simple priority sort by Top Speed-Low alt. Among other errors, it listed the G-14 as being faster than the K-4, the F4U-1 as being faster than the F4U-4 AND the D9, the Ta-152 as being faster than the Tempest, the 190 A-5 as being faster than the La5fn. Many, many obvious errors IOW, so don't trust any results you get.

Edit: Doing a "weighted sort" with just one category seems to get better results.

well... it was : Updated 11/07/06  ( I take this as still a work in progress )

then at tne bottom left of this Matrix site, it says:

Note:

This is a somewhat subjective list, and is only meant to provide a quick and simple comparison of plane abilities. Be sure to study other resources for a more in-depth analysis

nearly 2 1/2 years since it was last worked on..........

I forget who made this site originally....... anyone remember?

All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC

The "priority sort" apparently uses a subjective "rating".

The "weighted sort" apparently uses the actual number.
