The Shiranui is the mass produced unit used by the Japanese Imperial Army, while the Takemikazuchi is used solely by the Imperial Honor Guard.
The XM3 is a improved OS that was in developed late 2001(around november), but Total Eclipse begins earlier than this(July if I'm not mistaken). So at the beginning of TE, the XM3 wasn't even developed yet.
A unit with the XM3 has a performance roughfully 30% better than a unit with the old OS. But I don't know if with it a Shiranui can beat a Raptor.
