SPYDER - General Discussion

Keep in mind those specs are fired from fixed wings at high altitude where air density is much lower and with very high speeds.

Meanwhile you’re firing Python-5 from completely stationary platform which makes it effective range much lower.

That would be max range in this case.

Not that low dude p5 has very low drag and a burn time of 7-8 seconds with thrust adjusting surly it can go more then 8 km

Sure it can go more than 8km but it’s not gonna be close to it’s fixed wing performance.

In this case 12-15km should be realistic in best case scenario.

Ofc it wont

This is a big diffrance then 8 km

Just dropping an overview here of the best Israeli ground-based counter against different types of airborne enemies after the patch:

  • Helis without LDIRCM: Namer-Spike
  • Helis with LDIRCM: Tank-M339 ammo (good luck lol)
  • Aircraft: Chaparral (as the Spyder can easily be found and will get killed without being able to defend itself. The Chaparral can at least hide and wait for a good moment to try its luck.)
  • Combat UAV: Spyder

Essentially the sole purpose of the Spyder will be

  • Shooting down UCAVs
  • Spotting ground enemies to reduce spawn points for CAP/CAS (albeit it’s probably more effective and fun to do that in the Namer)

And for that they put it at 12.0

Nice one Gaijin 😂

And so, after trying about 80 times to intercept the Kh-38.
Here’s a spoiler for the next update


I’ve tried everything. Playable only derby. There’s no point in taking Python 5. They do not intercept neither missiles nor airplanes
Radar is very funny(no). Gaijin has made us all realize that there can be nothing better than the USSR

Idk if i should cry or laugh
And there js ppl out there that still thinks there is no russian bias

I want to be surprised they fumbled the spyder but im rly not

Like how hard it is to cp the p4 stats change the seeker reduce its drag and add a bit more finn aoa thats it

How many targets does SPYDER radar preforms TWS on?
This thing for those who dont know



Can i get a screenshot with it?

Come on guys, I’m trying to buff your stuff.

It’s actually over for us isn’t it :(

do neither, cope and seethe

Have they fixed Pythons wobble and lack of pull yet?

no, they are focusing on the really important stuff right now, like adding a rangefinder modification to the researchable modules of the Spyder.
there were no changes to the missiles other than modifications to the statcard of the derby and the derby’s max lock angle before launch

  • max lock angle before launch: 55° → 95°

it can track 4 at the same time just to give you an idea

nope

I do find it amusing that gaijin thinks the Python 5 is slower than MIM-72.

slower but more range bruv
u dont know anything bruv

Dude… OSINT data & data published BY Rafael themselves say that the Python 5 is like… Nearly double the speed of the MIM-72…

AIM-120C-5 has the same speed as AIM-9X(base on datamine)
they limited the SLAMRAAM missiles speed because “muh ground launch”, they clearly know it can reach higher max speed but they definitely dont want that
