This would be really hard to do, as they would be, in fact, subjective. A nice thing to do would be add to every craft's page the "secret" details of the plane itself, for example the direction it shoots its missiles without locking on, or the F-22's missile delay because of the internal mounting.

Some things that can be measured are the aircraft's turning speed (with the simplified controls) and top speed, but many others (like the damage dealt or the effectiveness of the guidance) are impossible to calculate.

Also, the "plane's performance in comparison to similar aicraft" depends on the pilot. For example, I prefer the F-14A -Wardog- to the high-end fighters because of its natural maneuverability, while other players would think otherwise.
