[AE] AE战机比武——Ki83远战VS野马P51D

firephoenix

本次游戏盟军仍然使用后期主力远程战斗机野马P51D，蝗军出场的则为赵天蝗钟情并大力预研的Ki83远战。2 A/ o* g2 {; E5 N0 }7 o

+ k0 a' z9 h1 u  t3 e" J! H      测试使用1108R9，在珊瑚海海战剧本基础上修改，日军为图拉吉，盟军为一格外的伦加，机场10级，补给30000，各200架飞机、200组后勤。飞行员经验80，士气99；飞行队长各项能力全部80。; V  O! t0 F) j
      
& `  ~; d8 e" |( m/ X% r5 g. q      鉴于游戏里高空的优势，10000、20000英尺不再测试，固定高度只测试30000英尺高度，由于Ki83远战与野马D机动性略有差异，分别是17、17、17、17、14跟16、16、16、14、11，按照第二机动高度房规的话，是41000对31000，由于双方速度、爬升率、火力（但Ki83远战机炮集中在机头，精度高出一倍）等其它性能几乎完全相同，显然野马D会被完爆，没有测试的必要，所以只测试极限高度的对抗。总共是分两场进行测试，即30000英尺与极限高度各10场，前5场盟军扫蝗军，后5场蝗军扫盟军。结果中包括空战损失数、ops损失数、需维修飞机损失数，并附上两者的飞行员亡、伤、俘数量。

结论：
0 q* i9 h/ f& H- `: e- D" zKi83远战各方面性能来说都是跟野马D近似的一款战斗机. ?/ C( C% R+ Q" C" l' ^  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
- i  R* q+ c2 J; K7 ~) v. M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D0 i8 i* L2 F( w8 o, ~3 o
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
