Interesting idea, but it seems like someone somewhere needs to make the subjective decisions on ranking players (especially in multiplayer games) and ranking planes.

Not really, the system could be made to update the planes and players' ratings with regards to their performance.

But who is setting the metrics for a players' ratings and how it translates into ranks, as well as for the planes? That is the subjective system that someone would need to develop.

The planes in a scenario might be simple enough using the +/- shot down differential. But what about for pilot rankings? Based on kill ratio? Win/loss record? Average or total points? How do you balance the three so that the ranking system doesn't get to be a metagame?
