low skill crews doesnt apply enough grease or wd-40
high skill crews use one whole 50cmx50cm block of grease and use the devil powers to telepathically move the turret faster
I think 70km is for A1 or later versions of MPQ-64 since Thales Raytheon was formed in 2001 and base 64 is initially from 1995
Since I don’t have anything better I trust 40km for base model on wiki
Nvm, I have 40km on this website and 75 for improvement (probably A1)
Almost everything on Spyder is a placeholder.
The IR missile, which should be Python 5, is just Type81 copy pasted as a placeholder.
The ARH missile, which should be I-Derby ER, is just a IRIS model copy pasted as a placeholder (and somewhat unhelpfully and non descriptively named just ‘Derby’)
The radar is an unfinished placeholder
The optical sight is an unfinished placeholder
It’s straight up missing its launcher boxes and its missiles are floating in mid air lol.
It’s not worth really passing any judgment on Spyder until they’ve actually updated it on dev. Right now it’s just an incomplete, WiP husk.
It will be finalized in gods good time brother, have faith.

The first few days / weeks of this update are going to be so funny in GRB
All the nations getting new AA’s are understandably going to want to be spamming them to try them out, so it’s gonna be barely a handful of actual MBT’s fighting each other haha.
Scenes when US/ISR/GER/JPN/SWE are all on the same team, and they get steamroll GG’d in 1 minute because it was 10 guys in AA’s, and only 2 guys in clickbait’s vs a dozen BVM’s lmao.

That was bad, now AI naval gunner need glasses now…
No more immersion breaking than entire teams being scouted like its arcade every match lol.
Humvees will drive circles around them. They should have added 30mm or avenger Humvee as SHORAD option too
Some of our museums have them with side skirts but older photos show them without the skirts, clearly our museums saw them as too lewd with their side skirts lol.
regarding the band, it comes down to the classification used
Nato’s J band is the equivalent of IEEE X band

X is more equivalent to I. Ku is more to J.
Something I just remembered that I’m curious about: how would the F-5N work in-game (some textures for it were datamined)… they had the guns stripped out.
We already have jets without guns so that’s no deal breaker
The best thing about this update is after 2 years 7 months my CAS tactics are FINALLY obsolete.

Gonna be real interesting to see how CAS adapts to this new AA landscape.
(I get the feeling they won’t - they’ll just keep asking for more broken missiles until we get the same standoff slop meta we just escaped lol)

Yeah, even flying low won’t save you if the radar picks you up.

There’s a small overlap it seems
None of the Navy Phantoms have [internal] guns, and the Sea Vixen has no guns at all. As long as it has missiles its a dogfighter.
