I‘m starting confused.
as I know it always go a super high loft, and the program is fixed, won’t change no matter you are.
like you said
but you also said this
I dunno, that’s basically how you fly the Lightning. I don’t see the reason behind adding it if they’re just going to give it guns anyway. Might as well just add another F-5E or whatever instead.
Still too many unknowns to definitively call the Spyder better than the SLM.
When a launcher is hidden behind a building, the missile does not behave as it should.
The missile going to the left is behind the building

ha might require a bug report then
To be frank here, the missile needs connection to the launcher, as the antenne on it provides DL data
However it is also said that the missile does not need LOS, so i dunno.
Whats there to know?
fair point, but if this was taken into account in game the missile shouldn’t fire at all, no ?
I’m not too familiar with the signal sent by that antennae, but i suppose it could also go through several trees and 1 or 2 buildings before fading out.
One scenario that could be done is placing the launcher behind a building relative to the enemy : the launcher doesn’t have LOS to its target, but the radar does, and the radar vehicle also has direct LOS to the launcher, and vice versa.
if it still behaves weird, it means it’s a matter of the seeker activating too early and being confused by the building, instead of relying on DL
The only other F-5E that’d be justifiable for the US TT (aside from the F-5N) would be the Tiger IV demonstrator, and there’s not enough info on its cockpit displays or modified APG-66 as of right now. With the F-5N, there’s more than enough info on it, on top of having a rather unique place in US history. Plus, I could see the F-5N acting sort-of as a parallel to the F-5T SCU within the US TT)
At the current moment however, I feel like we won’t see the F-5N for awhile. If the US is getting the F-106 this patch, that makes two higher-tier aircraft (including the Comanche) for an update taking place after another patch where the US got three top tier aircraft. If it does get added this patch, though, then it’ll be a pleasant surprise.
there are still a couple unclaimed national variants that could go to US

It will not be a RPM nerf. Now it has 15 RPM. Unless we take
30 rpm with electronic back-scan
As it having 30RPM based on 2 beam, then it is correct.
On what reason Gaijin reduce IRIS-T SLM range to 15km??
range and RPM buff, too bad they didnt add a better version of MPQ-64 for even more
nvm 2 beam is probably what they meant
Then that’s a strong possibility.
They’re probably going to make it an event vehicle. No guns and only 2 missiles sounds like exactly the kind of thing they’d use for an event to let people know they can skip it.
Otherwise it’s just another F-5E, which would just be boring, no?

@quartas121 @DirectSupport but i did found something that will be a nerf to it
It scans only 22 degree of elevation at once, it tracks within the whole elevation envelope

can you see if this is changed on later models out of curiosity?
If i manage to find brochures, yes
AN/MPQ-64F1 Improved Sentinel
Tho it seems F1 lost the back scan
I guess it kept it.
idk at this point

Actually there is also the F-5F which is just the two-seater version of the F-5N
