SPYDER - General Discussion

what max distance do you get? since the last patch whenever i spawn there is some imaginary target that allows me to fire a missile in pure IOG mode. Maybe they added this to facilitate range testing? Currently the Derby travels ca. 20km, reaching a distance of ca. 18.5km and an apex of ca. 8km

i dont know why they added a “MADDOG” mode to it, another thing is that the supposed I-Derby ER its not performing like it should it doesn´t even reach 20km above 1000km/h the performance its really poor for a 40km of missile it should have at bareminimum an effective range of 20-22km reaching those distances with atleast 1000-1100km/h of max velocity, the Python-5 its not working good with the Contrast/optical mode it miss targets that it shouldn´t missing with IR mode it works a little bit better at close ranges but for contrast the target needs to be above 2km of altitude when in the strela the missile can lock above 300-400mts with the contrast/optical mode both missiles needs more work to perform atleast somewhat close to its real life performance ground launched.

What is this?


All the time i launch P5 this thing happend(Strange trajectory after launch)
Still WiP?
And i don’t think P5 now pull’s as hard as in IRL.

Has anyone made bug reports on the Spyder AIO radar, it is currently missing range and elevation

Also shouldn’t TOPLITE provide IRST track or at least the same way some IFVs lock onto air targets.
The Python 5 can’t even be launched without radar lock

It got accepted, but stats are still wrong. I think for cases like these, it cannot be bug reported again, as it would count as duplicate (even though it’s not in game)

There is one already

15km limit?
710m/s?
thats so slow
slower than 38mt
what the frick
also i notice alot are 710m/s so are they most likely placeholder speed or gaijin love 710?

Yes

oh damn

what would be second missiles for the Spyder then ER or SR(i havent update my info yet)

instead of 20-22 now it pulls 26Gs its not even close to 50Gs

Both of those missiles should be smokeless, isnt it?

ER according to files

Btw can someone screenshot the ER?

Screenshot of what, statcard? Or missile model

Python 5 should be pulling like 70 g’s too 😭💀 we’re cooked

the performance of the I-Derby ER is horrible wrong it didnt even make 10km that the missile is already under mach 1 jesus christ man this thing needs a huge buff in its engine and also it doesn´t pull more than 20-22Gs just one time i made him pull 24Gs this is horrible man.

26G of maximum consistent pull and an average of 16-17Gs in the Python-5, this thing cannot intercept well targets below 1km and after 1km because of the lack of overload and AoA this thing should be pulling literally the same amount of Gs and AoA as the IRIS-T (SLS) is pulling right now to be more agressive in closer ranges and not overshoot the targets.


i dont know what they are doing with the missiles but its totally wrong right now they need more work its just incredible how Python-5 a missile that can do a °180 in 3 seconds flat IRL its behaving like this in game.

ADATS better smh
