SPYDER - General Discussion

Only Gaijin thinks that Spyder missiles are ballistic missiles (loot at this weird launch trajectory ….) that try to hit a missile or a tank (one of the Python tried a top attack on a tank 😂) while an heli was locked …

This would all be a non issue if gaijin allowed for IRST

Ofc it needed
The seeker followes its iog so its probably searching a specific area so if the enemy change direction the missile can miss him

Anyway in wt u dont have the searching mechanic so until then the dl even if its not confirmed

I also found it in the israeli rafael site

Note that it said navigation systems and detection systems

Exactly, not datalink

Navigation system is probably dl
If it was only tracking with the seeker it would say just detection system

Rafael wont say it out loud cuz its clasified so u need to rwad between the lines
Like they said it has 20 km+ but we know its much more

since this became israeli mains hangout place…
Merkava 4 series missing target tracking // Gaijin.net // Issues

is there an official statement that says the python 4 has better performance than the python 3
in an attempt to leverage that so the python 5 speed will atleast be mach 3.5
or the python 5 better than python 3

exactly what i said during dev server. 10.3 or 10.7 may be the right BR for it the way it is currently implemented. A Su25 will have no challenge in killing it.

To be honest, these three non-segmented anti-aircraft vehicles( cs/sa5, sls, spyder) in the new version all need to be scrapped and redesigned.
These three aa vehicles perform extremely poorly in the game. It basically has the performance at 10.7

Navigation system is Inertial Navigation

there is a screenshot in the shiryon server from the israeli airforce website mentioning the python is capable of receiving information from sensors from the plane or other launch platforms
i cannot fully confirm as i no longer live in israel so the website is blocked :(

do you guys think the spyder is gonna be fixed? is there even hope?

Ofc
Python 4 can pull way more and it has 15 km effective range also much better irccm

Let’s check the track record:

Merkavas (as a whole): no
Sabra armor: no
Namer armor: no
Sholef: no
SPYDER: what do you think? 😭

Add derby
Machbet also missing some stuff like optical lock if im not mistaken
Chaparral has the wrong seeker

Still never fixed that bug where its motor suddenly became Smokey either.

The track record truly is grim. Spyder’s cooked I think. I hope to be proven wrong.

oof
is it even worth playing

I’d say it’s better than Chaparral (although that’s an extremely low bar).

There’s still situations where Machbet will be better due to Spyder’s deadzones (like Heli’s rocket rushing type scenarios).

If you’re playing top tier then it’s worth it, it’s just extremely frustrating to use with how bugged the radar & Python’s are. It’s no doubt one of the weaker AA’s at top tier, but our AA situation was so horrific before that even this spectacular bodge job still constitutes a general upgrade.
