But my poor UHT…
Missing better stingers, missing mistrals, missing more CMs. Missing more rockets.

Minimum engangement range jesus
will a DERBY-ER only be maneuverable after 3 or 5km in game? I think it’s a no, and it will be surely more maneuverable than current VT-1 and 95Ya6
So again assumption by you.
You forget as well those missles like the tor m1 start verticaly

And take their time to “spool up” (u get what i mean) to be fast enough to not fall out of the sky after 5 meters
Depends. If GJ goes with its first batch of deliveries in 1997, then probably not.
I hope they bring the one including Upgrade21 and Upgrade25

So far the theory is that there will be 2 Swiss Hornets, but it just makes no sense when both the initial Hornet and upgraded Hornet would be TT and 14.0 if they both get AIM-120.
SACLOS mode ruined it, it can’t get its mobility advantage without autopilot.
and SPYDER isn’t vertically launched.
Such missiles also have ARH hence they dont need guidance from the launcher if the target gets behind a mountain (as long as the missile has LOS, its good.

U definitly think about the wrong spyder variant
?
Looks pretty vertical to me

I mean the new SAMs should be better than VT-1 by a longshot, although I think 40km is a bit overkill.
20-25km should be plenty.

Here fixed it, now it’s not vertical launched anymore.

Well, to be honest, he’s half right, the Spyder isn’t completely vertical launch it’s just that it’s near vertical launch (basically the same but well). Thankfully, the launcher can rotate if I’m not wrong.
I thought it has a rotating foundation like other SPYDER
but I still doubt it’s blind zone range will be too long, seems pretty short to me, especially considering it’s hot launched and auto piloted.
separated version not AIO. AIO’s launcher is directed connected to chassis.

no its “Flamakdakzakjacpakrak”
And yeah, sadly, the Spyder does have a minimum engagement range if I’m not wrong. The launcher can’t rotate as you have demonstrated (I messed up with the SR version, sorry) and it can’t change the angle so it’ll always launch upwards. If the Spyder is to get Python 5s, it’ll allow it to reduce the minimum engagement zone but we’ll have to see. We can all hope it at least gets IRCCM missile (not the Python 3s) and maybe (super mega maybe) Derbys (whichever version seems more plausible).
Spyder AiO ith the launcher pointing upwards near a vertical position
You can see here the hydraulic tubes there meaning that unless the launcher with the tubes are on a rotatable platform, the launcher will just look at the front on a near vertical position.
So yeah, we are gonna have to pray it can get into position quickly enough.

the problem is irl minimum engagement range is not that suitable for game. considering the performance of DERBY in game, I think the range will be short enough.
