SPYDER - General Discussion

Correct. Reason why I’m saying it can only be seen on X-Ray is because the missiles are literally gone, wiped off the face of the earth (as Gszabi already said)

I’ve seen that they’ve been posting the new vehicles these last days (Bismarck, Tan-SAM, MSC, RAH-66, etc.) Are these posted after the vehicles have been partly finalized? Or is it just posted as they want? Will we see one for the SPYDER?

these vehicles are in a visually presentable state, which the spyder is not currently in

IRL it still has the rolling fins and you can see them
the python 4 and 5 also has them since they share the same body

hi yeah thats not a derby er

Photoshop. Rafael loves to use older Derby images for the ER

Rafael also claims this is an ER, but its literally from 2001

All actual images of the ER show it having none/small swept fins (which also could be an old image, as those exist since 2008) instead of the same long, straight ones

Besides, those wouldnt make sense as they would cause drag for a missile meant to be a range upgrade

SPYDER radar is in a tragic state, but we will see how it will go.

Now we need Python-4/5 on our aircrafts, then it will be complete :D

Speaking of it’s radar, it now has 4 simultaneous ‘scan lines’ (Not sure what the proper term is?) that spin around

Beams will be the correct term.

Okay, so, Python 5 still feels extremely WiP. Often just missing things flying in straight lines. Feels like its pulling harder than the ‘Type81c’ placeholder, but still not nearly enough.

On the plus side though, there is no longer a cooldown between firing them, so you can just switch between targets with the radar and ripple them off as fast as you can click lol.

Just 4
P5 will ne op

Radar is nowhere close to AESA present on jets.

P5 not exploding in 7 kms anymore, but still feels like a 20G missile of strela.

Gunner optics still not lifting up with radar pice.

UPD: Forgot to mention:

Radar only have option to change distance of scan (10/20/40 km’s).

Optical track not presented.

Before recent patch you could launch IR missile with some form of HMD, but now you cant (P5 only works when slaved to a radar).

Aye it’s not performing even remotely close to what it should.

On the bright side though, at least now it’s officially named P5 , bug reports can start being made
