But isnt the luncher in the game is the version that can take the er?

Yes.

Ours in game can take Python 5 / I-Derby SR / I-Derby ER.

It’s not going to stay as it is, because it’s extremely WiP.

The radar isn’t finished. The optic isn’t finished. The DM isn’t finished, The 3d person camera isn’t finished. The first person camera isn’t finished. Python is called “Type81c” with an IRIS model and a placeholder FM. I-Derby SR/ER is called “Derby” with an Iris model and placeholder FM. Both of these missiles are currently floating in mid air because the launch boxes aren’t even modeled yet. (Probably numerous other things too)

There’s still tons of work left to be done on it, it’s barely functional right now so of course it looks bad lol.

Have faith brother. It’ll get fixed in good time. Come the live update we’ll be swatting down planes left and right.

I get that, but usually when our vehicles are a mess, it’s because finding sources is difficult.

With all the bug reports / sources the fine folks above have already submitted (and are still waiting to), it’d probably be harder for snail to get this one wrong than to get it right for once lol.

We’re still early in the dev cycle, plenty of time for Spyder to get ironed out yet mate.

It has the SPYDER SR launcher. According to older I-Derby ER brochures, it could carry them

It cannot carry the MR however, as it doesnt fit due to the booster, hence why it cannot carry them (and wasnt advertised to either)

Got a response from Smin in RR (asking what Missiles we can expect)

Still WiP, Missiles not final.

I want the camera to be fixed because with the radar up front, I can’t see the target I’m tracking. That’s the first thing. Also have you guys been able to actively lock onto an aircraft/air target? Or is it just me?

You dont need to get a full track, the missiles have DL and the system guides them without the seeker, until it can get a lock.

Yeah, but I can’t lock onto an aircraft with the gunsight, unless it’s just that way.

Thats probably still not implemented as you have a EO sight as well to lock stuff.

Aye, I mentioned this earlier, when you zoom in, the camera is right under the radar ‘umbrella’, so you’re completely blind looking forward or up lol. Even looking up zoomed out is hard because the camera goes under the truck a bit.

3rd person camera needs zooming out and up several metres, 3rd person zoom in focus point needs moving above the radar tower (where 1st person also should be)

Then I also hope it’s fixed because when an F-15 releases 20 GBUs, switching between 21 targets from the radar isn’t cool.

Imagine GSB.

Spyder might honestly end up being best scout in Warthunder lmao.

Park behind a building, deploy the skyscraper with its CCTV top hat and click away lol.

We gonna be hoppin in Ra’am for free fellas xD

Ok
I think derby er is enough for now anyway but in the future we will need the MR

I would expect them to maybe add multi-vehicles for Israel in a future but I don’t know if currently, the CCU counts as a vehicle.

Theres no need for that currently as AIO is superior to any multi vehicle system Israel can get (other than David’s sling)

But isn’t there the SPYDER LR? But yeah, David’s Sling might be better.
