SPYDER - General Discussion

Photos or it didn’t happen. We’ve got bug reports out on this exact issue

surely he means iog not dl

You know I’m actually confused about something. Where is the proof the FB-10 has DL? Since they gave it DL while still ignoring the SPYDERs myriad problems

The FB-10 is known to have DL, and thats what the functions of the antennas are

There is no reason to go after a different missile because the Python 5 as of now doesnt have DL

Funny since Python 5 is also known to have DL, but im not going after the FB-10 specifically, I want stuff in game to be realistic too. What I’m going after is Gaijins BS.

Gaijin doesn’t seem to care a single bit. Look here, this thread was created to discuss all the major issues with the Tan-SAM kai, some of the main bug reports are even listed there. A lot of them accepted too, and the most major issues (missing LOAL and UTDC (basically IOG + DL for IR missiles) capabilites) have been accepted OVER 2 MONTHS AGO, yet the only SPAA that got such a significant upgrade so far is the CS/SA5.

When you watch a replay where you launch one, go to the sensor view or whatever it is. It will show that they are on Data Link / IOG on launch until they level off to aquire. It very well could just be an issue with the replay system, but both Python 5 and Derby both show it on launch

i just had an experience of SPYDER, i couldn’t lock onto the heli that was AT LEAST 100m high but when i used my blackhawk i were literally scratching the sand with it and OSA AKM (10.3) killed me

It appears Python 5’s shake so much that they lose seeker lock on targets

hey i just found out another bug, i’m not 100% sure if it’s about SPYDER but anyway, when i use SPYDER at first respawn, die and then use Namer 30 i can’t lock my Spike-LR 2 rockets , the green lock square just freezes on top of my crosshair and even if i lower it down and lock onto target my rocket just hits the ground. It happens only after i die in a SPYDER first

That’s just hilarious to hear this considering it pulls over 50g’s, the spyder is definitely cooked (but we already knew that)

Had the same thing happen to me but I thought it was only me cause it happened only twice for me

I’ve fired at planes less than 2km away from me RA (it just flew over my head) and the P5 failed to lock properly and missed. I’ve had the same missiles instakill recon micros at .7km honestly when they work they are incredible. Unfortunately when they work is very rarely and usually on low value targets. Intercepting munitions though? Something the SPYDER family is well known for? Nearly impossible. Even getting one is a lucky shot

i launched 5 rockets at two KH-29 and SU-27 but nothing got intercepted and i died miserably

P5 fail to hit targets at distances <1 km, and only when the distance increases to 1.1 km do they hit the target

Just to calrify, TWS ESA would not help you with targets the radar does not see. Only with those already spotted.

True, but giving the proper refresh rate would be a nice start

Oh I know, I should have worded it differently.

The radar likes to jump all over the place when it actually tracks an aircraft like it has severe ADHD, I would love it if they somehow fixed that.
