30000英尺高度，Ki83远战在CAP时能跟野马D打个平手，扫场时则以2:1获胜，两者的胜负手应该就在于Ki83远战机动性略好（17:14）、同时布置在机头的机炮火力精度较高。另外，在两种情况下，野马ops损失都较高，加上被击伤需维修的飞机也比Ki83远战多，所以下回合Ki83远战可出动数仍然要比野马高很多。作者: firephoenix 时间: 2012-9-18 12:44

结论：7 a* i0 u6 J6 t7 c! d Ki83远战各方面性能来说都是跟野马D近似的一款战斗机 + J0 O1 [9 w5 g1 e& [4 O }, i测试的结果也是如此，两者在30000英尺跟极限高度的交换比接近1% W# g" l, }( w; O$ Z
这样看来，如果采用第二机动房规的话，Ki83远战可有可无（当然需要远程奔袭扫场还有有需要的），因为疾风丙已经可以在第二机动高度完虐野马D 1 o9 u \5 m$ r' j [! L2 R/ z+ W但是如果采用44年后无限制高度的房规，Ki83远战还是有必要早日预研成功的" Z: b* v" V$ w0 o% ~, u

不过有一点一直很奇怪，那就是明明野马D维护度只有2，而疾风跟Ki83都是3，不知为何，野马的OPS跟被击伤需维修的飞机一直远远大于日机
