In addition, our proposal of a wave force project, something we had implied we didn't think was possible previously, definitely softens the impact of not being able to deploy us as soon, and justifies holding us in the academy at the normal pace.

Except Anna is clearly the singular outlier, so doing that would've skewed the graph.

In that case I say they clearly made a mistake in that experiment and need to redo it.
After they redo it, I suggest that the equipment isn't accurate above a threshold level.

The rookies did not know about her past, the other two did. Also it still not excuses not involving her in planing and decision making and just telling her after the fact.
He/she is an Ace but doesn't have any special powers like Anna does. The way Gatorade beat B-class treats was with a lot of help ( No Wave Motion Gun or any special ability most menbers of the Elites don't alredy have) Not to mention how long it takes to upgrade a frame and the fact she probably has never switched frames because that would mean a long time not being as effective as she can be.
So you have a horror/combat survivor that has a lot of downtime due to how long it takes the frame to upgrade and the fact that the brass noticed said survivor was being suicidal.
So yeah, she (statistically is more likely our older broken Ace is a she) has not the growth potential Anna and the protagonist have.
She helped to beat B class treats, she lost a lot of people, but she lacks Anna powers and is broken due to losing everything several times.
Plus she fakes being okay, the brass had her doing talks and encouraging kids to enlist, her doing tours and giving talks to cadets.
Also, I am thinking maybe her frame started as an old model and despite all the upgrades and synchronization, is just not as invasive as Durga is.
Meaning she has no one to suppress her memories.
Mmm, maybe I could write an Omake? Have her meet Anna?
I mean, not everyone gets to be an Ace by talent or special powers or insane training, just surving long enough and helping to beat powerful treats also counts.
Also the fact our Pilot "Pagliacci" has never changed frames, just keep upgrading, it means she would have reached a big syncronity by surviving together for so long.

Honestly, I think the main difference is a matter of scale, on several levels. Most obviously, I believe the HPPs are just bigger to start with, since I don't believe they have ever been mentioned as 'vambrace mountable'. Additionally, 'Heavy Particle Projecter' indicates it's firing a different kind of particle from Yukari's, one that is harder to deflect, and may have a greater range before it's effectiveness begins to taper off. Then, of course, there's its ability to combine into larger, more powerful forms!
YOU FIEND!

Maybe you can do something with her canons?
I've always imagined that Anna's HPPs' resting position was to float pointing towards the ground next to her shoulders, forming a wing like structure?

Disregard physics, acquire impeller field. The wings of fire are too awesome to get rid of. It looks amazing anyway, with the bits of fire leaking out through the shell of the backpack.I might have to forget the whole "wings of fire" thing, which is sad, but it doesn't work with the jetpack's directions.
Like, seriously. Holy crap that's awesome.
I also like the suggestion of supporting Durga's space with a fleet of giant radioactive cannons. If you want to get a mythological tie-in, maybe use them to imitate the classic halo-of-arms visual?

The difference would lie primarily in ammunition.
One of the things about particle projectors to keep in mind is that they don't fire streams of individual particles or a dozen particle thick, they fire 'solid' beams up to millimeter across on the superheavy projectors used by ships, so while individual particle energies probably wouldn't rise over 600KeV, the total energies of a beam tend to be enormous. Of course, if you want to save power, lower your beam energies and your generator or capacitors will suddenly love you.
Standard particle projectors tend to just fire either charged or neutral particles (All plasma weapons are particle weapons, not all particle weapons are plasma weapons yadda yadda yadda) at high speeds, varying depending on wether range or power is more important in that particular case.
Your versions are primarily different in that they like to spit exotic particles to deal damage through a variety of ways other than just kinetic ways. For example, normal particle projectors would not have the penetration properties of yours as you can set your beams to not interact with normal matter for a certain time before the exotic particles breakdown and release their energy in more conventional ways. Energy loss in your case would be minimal, whilst a standard particle projector trying to penetrate the same distance would shed the majority of its energy on the intervening material.
I suppose there's also the issue of speed. Standard individual particle energies of 600KeV vs 1MeV despite your projectors also having greater volumes of throughput to standard projectors. Much exponential, such relativity wow. Accelerating a particle stream of similar volumes to the same speeds as yours through the current acceleration technologies (given sufficient power) requires nearly one hundred kilometers of accelerator track or a Valkyrie Battleship's primary batteries. The UN are trying to puzzle out if it's the specific properties of the exotic particles you are using or if just some new acceleration tech you have inside the projectors. ("Where the fuck does she get the power from fuck" etc)

This already happens. Your particle streams release X-rays as collateral.
Don't fire them near civilians again.

Those poor UN scientists. I imagine Anna and Durga gave them some really huge headaches and this particular problem is the least of them.
