SPYDER - General Discussion

But hey🤷🏼‍♂️ we gotta fix the tor for Russia ya know

Amraam er is actually not bad at all though

Well at least they finally fixed the laser guided bombs

This was the p5 nearly when spyder got into the game, still the same?

If you wouldn’t flop camera so hard it would help, but I do suspect first Python 5 launched after Su-25 locked onto flare, hence it slammed into the ground.

Derby always had parachute of a flight model, as missile bleeds all the speed when asked to maneuver even when air launched. Pythons also share this trait, as P3 vs 9L has only initial acceleration and short fuse time for short range headons, once motor burns out it hit brakes HARD, to the point it becomes Magic 2 at home. P4 also seems to have massive air drag, partially counteracted by long burn time of the sustainer, at the same time it has only 20s guidance time, so it can fly only so far. P5 seems to share most of its flight characteristics with P4, with slight tweaks (the same propellant mass, bit weaker thrust but longer burn, higher fin max AoA, lofting copied from Derpy). Then you add server induced overcorrections resulting in missile flopping its way through space and time… and yea, have fun.

SPYDER AIO radar elevation will not be increased to hemispheric

Exact elevation split is not given, so developers assume ±45°

I tried poinitng out that the most probable split is +70° -20°, as it would fulfill the hemispheric requirement, and i also provided other sources that show other radars can do 70° no problem, but they rejected them.

When Gaijin says they fixed the wobble~

they never did, they might also say they fixed every bug report on SPYDER and still SPYDER actually didnt even change slightly

Yea I bug reported something similar. Didn’t check the AIO in a long time so idk if it still has +65° radar elevation scan but nothing below in minus

It has nothing below 0, as it is “pointless”, and “would not be done”
But at the same it cant scan more up, so i guess out of the 90 only 65 is used, or so some think.

surbaisse i love you can we kiss (okay maybe i’ll stop glazing soon)
