me too(
This mentions that the missile receives information about the target on the aircraft (sensor fusion) and is launched where then it uses Inertial Navigation (Gyroscopes) while scanning to search the target
No datalink is mentioned
I will try but there is like 270 magazines and im dout there is an article that will provide more info then what i allready showed
Israel keeping its secrets very close there isnt even a source about the p5 range its only 20km+
Hmm ig it makes sanse all tho i dout that such advance missile doesnt have dl
Anyway in that case they should add the “searching the sky” thing
Also there is a bug report on the optical lock?
Idk how or why gaijin thinks it doesnt have that when its mentioned in like every sits that talks about p5
Doesn’t need DL when the seeker can search for the exact shape of the aircraft it has been told to lock

Man this radar is performing absolutely abysmally.
Constantly tracks nothing
Constantly ghosts
Constantly breaks lock for no reason
Constantly switches on its own to other targets
Everytime I lock something, the green box is hundreds of metres, if not kilometres away from where the target actually is.
Python’s performance is shockingly bad. It’s bleeding so much energy just wobbling around for no reason at all.
Derby is so useless Im not even taking it anymore.
I was going to compare it to Strela, but honestly, it’s even worse than Strela. At least that thing can just point and click. Spyder can only even fire at things if by the grace of god your radar actually decides to work.
They could put this thing at 10.3, and I still would pick a Strela or OSA before it.

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? 😭
