Python 4 has datalink too and lock after lunch so u can kinda do a stealth close bvr
Thats why it will be so strong compare to other 4 gen missiles
Also it has both irccm like the magic and 9m
That is hard to believe, source? I don’t think it has any of that, only the Python 5 does.

It doesn’t these features are only available for the python 5
Im pretty sure i read this in some iai book but maybe im wrong
I will look it up when i could
(The book is on my grandpa house)
If u right its just another reason yo add the python 4 now

Why ppl vote gatewidth irccm its worse irccm them tracking suspention
especially for this type of missile
i dont know for me both are fine the R-27T/ET have Gatewidth and it works pretty decent, in the dev server i managed to hit an F-18 at 10km with the ET he flared and the ET still got it it was a rear aspect shot.
There is no way its tracked from 10km
Maybe the missile got close
Any way for long range shot tracking suspention is better
the ET can lock up to 18-20km from behind at minimun and front aspect depends on what the enemy is and if it is afterburning, my maximun range kill scored with the ET was 14km rear aspect shot at 7k altitude against an F-15 and he was flaring XD but yea in certain situations the tracking suspension is better.
When i say “tracked” i mean that he flared it and it still tracked
R60m can track frim more then 10km rear aspect as well
Maybe this f18 didnt flare at all?
oh ok yea he flared and it keeps tracking XD
So the missile was pretty close to him
no seriously brother he flared and the missile keeps tracking the gatewidth in the ET is better than you think i dont know the rangebands of that missile but probably there is something that makes the missile strong at medium, long ranges.
From what i saw all gatewidth missiles can be 1 flared unless they 1.5 km rear aslect
around 4-5 kilometers of him when he started to flare, he did not cut the afterburner too maybe the flare pattern used it didnt work to fool the seeker.
4km makes more sanse
Still its much better to have tracking suspention in long range or medium
yea i agree that tracking suspension is better but!! the Python-4 is not gonna be used for really long shots its a missile with a lot of drag and if you make him pull it would bleed a ton of energy for me the best range to use this missile is up to 4km no more than that specially against supersonic targets. well… am going to sleep mate its really late for me. see ya!
