I know the booster part does disengage, but the whole missile is just three pulse.
What I am curious is two set of tail fins at the end of the missile.
Its whats often called a split canard design, the 1st set is usually fixed while the 2nd set close behind the 1st is moveable. while split canards are often used at the front, the main premise behind using split canards can also be applied to the rear by having one set of stationary fins and the one behind it be the moveable one.
Aerospaceweb.org | Ask Us - Missile Control Systems this site explains it pretty well in the canard section
I feel like I’m losing my mind. Is it me or is the radar kinda tracking targets? But still not hitting anything at all sadly. Derby still doesn’t even Pull nearly 40 gs or even locks. And p5 is still underperforming or isn’t competitive feeling . I’m just holding with hopes that what smin said comes to truth. @Smin1080p_WT is it still potentially that the spyder will possibly receive something soon? I’m not even asking out of anger or frustration. I’m just sadly desperate for some copium if you could spare it
Actually to be real, when will the python 5 get its IRCCM? it’s got documents and or bug reports that dircm has no effect on the python 5. It’s even stated in public info. Exhibit A: https://www.rafael.co.il/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/python-Air-to-Air-and-Air-defense-Missile.pdf

where does it say it has resistance to dircm?
python 5 has IIR which DIRCM doesnt affect
And Python 5 is immune to DIRCM, found only on Ka-52, like any other “IIR” missile.
It is vulnerable to LDIRCM, present on Mi-28NM, Z-10ME and new Apaches.
Then posted brochure only says broad “infrared counter-countermeasures” which can be anything - flare rejection of whatever kind, home-on-jam against dazzlers, switching to inertial navigation or thoughts and prayers.
gaijin on their way of spending another tens of working hours on a vehicle they know damn well they wont fix

It was not promised to them
@F-16D_Barak_II you will probably have to make another bug report for the p5 wobble issue
It says it fixed but it doesnt seem to be fixed at all
where does it say its fixed?
huh… weird.
We can ask someone about it, maybe it was “fixed” (I know it’s still ass) and they didn’t include it on any changelog.
i decided to ask smin, waiting for a response, you can try and go support it if you want

I’m not even gonna bother
P5 is still not finished, it’s missing dual pulse and is probably artificially nerfed
Soon it may be fixed when other dual pulse missiles are added
You got a source for it being dual pulse? This is the first I’ve heard of that, no clue where you got that from. Other than a source or two saying it can have 80 second sustainer, but it’s nothing concrete and I bet it’s variable thrust control likely at play here which isn’t a thing ingame yet.
The only things holding it back are the possible lack of datalink and inferior tracking capabilities it has ingame. It may also suffer from not pulling hard/tight enough off the rail.

It’s supposedly been fixed for some time. Anyone wanna give it a few tests?
the last part idk, Magics 2 pull very hard off the rail IRL, considering Python 5 is a much more modern missile and has the purpose to have high maneuverability, i wouldnt expect less
this just seems impossible without a ramjet
