Major Update “Tusk Force” - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

Python 4 would have the same stats as the Python 5 aside from the seeker and being more heavy. Rafael themselves said that it uses the same body (albeit with minor changes for lower weight) and motor, as well as other things.

Think of it as like, the Python 5 ingame but with a Stinger seeker or so

wait python 5 doesn’t have thrust vectoring?

No

The Python 4, incl. Python 5 were made to pull as hard as possible without the shortcomings TVC has.

The closest thing the P5 has to TVC is thrust control, which doesnt affect turning, but range. Its meant to calculate how much thrust it should use on a target and can do so automatically on moving targets

Which adds nothing to the nation btw

Probably lower drag as well so it can do bvr

I would say its more of the R-73M rather than the R-74M IMO, even tho the 73M wasnt mass produced

well obviously, its a placeholder for MCLOS

Obvious for those of us who are especially interested in history, but apparently not for the general playerbase. The X4 is already being misrepresented on youtube and elsewhere for low effort content.

Gaijin should’ve used AA-20 Nord as placeholder instead of some IR missile.

Can we control X-4 like AA/AS20? I wonder if it can a very powerful weapon for killing those monster SPAA

Of course it will

The FW190 can fly so slow that it might not be able to be picked up by radars

Not that slow

i could be wrong but isnt the turret supposed to be backwards in transport?

Spoiler

For long relocations by road/rail, its travel-locked backwards. Turret drive off and locked in place using the attachment point on the UFP

But for just small repositioning with the turret drives still on, it could in theory be forwards or backwards perfectly fine

Oplot ERA and composite are modelled as “Armoured Glass” and the Devs keep denying the actual vertical speed of the cannon. Currently at 1 degree /s to 3.5 degrees /s
