M3 Kylie Anti-Armor Power Armor

The M2-2D should slightly outperform the Kylie. The Kylie was majoritarily phased out because most of the Mindy's Mark II refit integrated many of the Kylie's stronger points. Whatever the Kylie will do, a Mindy will do better as long as we talk about nekovalkyrja operators. The Kylie does allow for humans taller than the usual neko stature to get performance closer to the Mindy, but logistically, it's not usually worth keeping in stock on starships (where space is at a premium).

The Kylie likely outperforms an M6 Daisy. The Daisy shares tough armor and operability by humans, but the Kylie has a stronger power plant and more mobility since it's still meant as a spacy armor. In 1-to-1 close quarter combat, it's not impossible for the Daisy to prevail, even though the Kylie's aether weaponry and zesuaium armor would give it sizeable advantages. Then again, the Daisy is comparatively a much more cost-effective unit; it's like comparing a infantryman to a spearman on horseback. Both are not meant to be equal units on the battlefield, but that doesn't make the Daisy 'weak' for what it is.

The M7... well, the M7 is the strongest power armor Yamatai fields. its armor, raw power and the elite to which it usually ends up being used by makes it unmatched. It has zesuaium armor, aether weaponry and spacy weaponry, access to a large zesuaium shield, the ability to stealth, and a protective energy barrier that's so powerful that it outstrips previous design by a considerable margin.
 
The Kirie/Keiko armor is stalwart, but the M7 SARAH still outclasses it in armor, weapons and usually pilot.

If you see an M7 on the field of battle, you know you are facing one of Yamatai's most elite PA pilots in its most expensive, most powerful and easily most durable armor. Yamatai gives its Samurai the best it has.
