This makes me happy, ngl I am very excited for this jet.
No change as of now
aw man, that’s sad
Its only the first dev server give it some time
Spyder aio doesnt have derby mr
We need a new spyder version with deployable lunchers(now most nations in wt have that so israel needs to get one also right? Right??)

Right
All tho chaina has decent spaa so its only sweaden and israel that suffers
I was just pointing out china doesn’t have multi-vehicle sam, but yes china has really good spaas
we are now have a chance to survive radar shot with HE:
Its not consistant, but neither a guarantee oneshot like on a live server

Yeah, i need to make some new keybinds to adjust my zoom level since my mouse weel is used for zeroing. Right now i can tell what color is a loaded bmp shell tip inside of its barrel from a 3 kms range if i use zoom from gunners view.
Guys, in my game, the derby is renamed as i-derby sr, but in the game of my friend changed nothing, still derby, the stats stay the sames too, maybe i-derby er is coming?

Weird it doesnt show u but it is i derby sr which is identical in the game to the derby
Its a shame cuz it should have better seeker
Could be a localization thing.
anyone got python 4 brochure?
Sadly not. I was 1 step away from getting it. Back then on Rafaels website, you needed to register in order to get a brochure, so it could not be archived. I have looked at every singular pdf possible, but nothing from the Python 4
HOWEVER, IsraeliWeapons has a good amount of info. I trust them with the info, as theyre often accurate (unless something is upgraded) and even have info/images that cant be found anywhere else.
The seeker was incorrectly reported by US sources to be a cooled two colour rotating reticle design, Israeli sources will only acknowledge that the missile usesa multiple detector array seeker, which has an IRCCM (ie IR ECCM) capability and the ability to reject background IR radiation. Typical two colour seekers (eg FIM-92C Stinger) use an Argon cooled InSb 4 micron IR detector and a Si or GaAs UV detector. Valid aircraft targets have a low UV signature and a high IR signature and this enables the Stinger to easily reject spurious targets such as flares. The Python 4 seeker has been credited with significantly better acquisition range than that of the AIM-9M, which is consistent with the sensitivity improvement produced by a multiple element seeker.
The Python 4 is known to employ digital signal processing techniques in the seeker, as well as a microprocessor based digital flight control system. The use of DSP (Digital Signal Processing) techniques will provide the seeker with better acquisition range than analogue seekers by exploiting the multiple detector elements to full advantage, as well as providing further IRCCM capability and the ability to intelligently manage fluctuating target signatures. A digital flight control system will allow the missile to optimise its flight control laws for the regime of flight, while also selectively choosing the most suitable homing algorithm parameters for the geometry of the engagement. The Python 4 missile employs a unique tailored proportional navigation homing algorithm. As a result of these design features, the Python 4 seeker is credited with the capability to engage and track targets throughout most of the forward hemisphere (the exact figure has not been disclosed, UK sources suggest in excess of 60 degrees off-boresight capability), with a high but undisclosed tracking rate.
The missile employs a blast fragmentation warhead which is triggered by an active laser proximity fuse with a backup impact fuse, a design feature in common in the AIM-9, but different from the Archer which employs a radio proximity fuse. The warhead size has not been disclosed.
The Python 4 employs a 6 in diameter rocket motor, a feature it shares with the Archer and the ASRAAM. The long burn motor has a tailored thrust profile to achieve optimal acceleration for close-in closing engagements and high energy for terminal phase homing or end-game engagement. Thrust vectoring is not employed, the missile instead utilises aerodynamic design to achieve a high turn rate throughout the its flight envelope.
The aerodynamic design of the Python is by any standard the most complex in any existing AAM, and is evidently intended to provide the best possible lift throughout the flight profile of the weapon. A cruciform fixed canard is mounted on the nose to stabilise high angle of attack airflow over the cruciform canard control surfaces, which are used for pitch and yaw control, a technique used by a number of existing WVR AAMs. Roll control is achieved by a small pair of “paddle” vanes aft of the controls. The missile employs highly swept strakes along the fuselage which are intended to improve airflow characteristics over the tail surfaces. The swept tail surfaces are designed to swivel about the fuselage, this is designed to minimise lift induced rolling moments at high angles of attack in high G turns.
