极限高度战果基本上跟与30000英尺差不多，Ki83远战仍然能跟野马D打个平手，当然如果算上ops损失的话，野马损失仍然略高，加上被击伤需维修的飞机也比Ki83远战多，所以下回合可出动数Ki83远战仍然要比野马高很多。作者: firephoenix 时间: 2012-9-18 12:55
结论：9 p" F7 R& h9 I9 { Ki83远战各方面性能来说都是跟野马D近似的一款战斗机0 k& r4 P' `. S& P$ H+ w5 B
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 o: b7 M6 \- @0 u K: a
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 & W6 ?6 I6 S0 z! |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 ' a0 |5 |" ?1 u. a8 F : D6 O0 l. l; L7 }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
