Sounds on par for Gundam.

>Perfect Strike was a great idea. If such a suit possible then why didn't Kira do it from the start?
For Kira's first couple of fights, the more basic Aile striker with beam rifle and beam saber are easier to handle. Perfect Strike's extra gear comes with drawbacks like weight and the complication of a lot of weapons to handle at once for a beginner pilot. The Aile's thrusters offset the weight to some degree, but using the thrusters more often and using the anti-ship sword and Agni gun also means using up more fuel\electricity and not lasting as long in battle, so the Perfect Strike also needed a bunch of extra batteries otherwise it'd run out sooner.

Supposedly the Perfect Striker is one of those military-industrial-complex boondoggles. Something that sounds good in concept but poorly executed and didn't amount to much. Later the EA follows up with the IWSP which is same idea but more compact. It trades in almost all of the beam weapons for regular cannons, railguns, and sharpened metal blades instead, and keeps the beam boomerang and regular beam rifle. All of the changes and improved thrust also allow Strike+IWSP to fly in atmosphere, but still suffered from energy issues in the beginning before being resolved and deployed in limited production in time for 2nd EA-Plant war.

Later parallel development by Morganroete results in the Ootori Striker, which also chases after the "weapons for all ranges" ideal. Compared to IWSP it's mechanically simpler and even lighter, while I guess battery advances allow for more beam weapons than the IWSP has.
