About this converter
Kawamori fighters run 11.3 to 19.62 m. Gerwalk at 11.3 length, Battroid at 12.68 height, VF-1 jet at 14.23, VF-11 at 15.51, VF-17 at 15.63, VF-4 at 16.8, VF-19 Custom at 18.47, YF-19 and VF-19A at 18.62, VF-25F at 18.72, YF-29 at 18.73, VF-22 at 19.62. That makes VF-22 over one and a third VF-1s long. Nineties prototypes cluster 18.47 to 18.73. Every figure here is the compendium fighter length with mode pinned.
How to use it
Pick two Valkyries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked: one holds a count of the first, one the matching count of the second, one the length in the chosen unit. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 VF-22 against VF-1s.
Modes stay labeled: Gerwalk 8.7 tall versus 11.3 long shows why one row cannot serve both, so length is rowed with height in context. Unverified VF-0, YF-21, VF-27 and VF-31 stay off rather than guessed at. Designer credits to Kawamori and Miyatake sit in sources. VF-22 19.62 against VF-1 14.23 shows over one and a third. YF-29 18.73 edges Messiah by one cm.
