Completely reasonable rofl
So, i putted a bug report about Spyder AIO can shoot missiles without AOA 90 degrees (it’s on russian). Let’s see what we will get: Community Bug Reporting System
On a positive note, I’m stoked we got SPICE, it’s so nice to finally have a standoff weapon that can be launched 10+ miles out, does anyone know if they will be coming to other aircraft like the F-15i??
And are you guys using the Spyder in the new radar screen or trying to launch 3rd person?
i’ve tested with both, the screen is a bit better tho, you can get a better view of the enemy aircraft and easily choose targets.
Did you guys also notice the namer tsrikhon spike launcher is broken?

I suspect Gaijin added SPICEs to F-16s only because they were lacking any standoff ordnance.
Then SPICEs act like any other TV/IR guided bomb, you can’t drop them without LoS nor you can drop multiple in quick succession

This thing is huge
It confirmed the p5 has 15km range ground lunched and derby 20km
playing like fnaf, check the top left to see if SAM is ready (seeker always on so if it sees anything it will say)
check radar screen to see what it is, and its speed
go to third person to check its direction and heading
go to toplite™ view and check if it is actually there with thermals
watch gaijin “not a bug”

It looked like it was sticking up quite a bit lol
I dropped all 4 at different targets and they hit them all just fine but you need to lock them first, I like how you can drop one using gps then aquire a target afterwards.
Thats my point. Regular GNSS or even Laser+IOG/GNSS ordnance you can fire via minimap marker, without achieving LoS.
If your not on flat ground or on a decline you can’t launched spikes
i have tested them pythons against bots, they seem to reach even 30+g in pulses, but the wiggle problem is even worse

They should also have Laser Guidance but dont in game
Instead they will happily introduce 3min delay between moving and getting launcher up.
Second, 15km Python 5 range might be already possible, as in when you lob one as ballistic missile. 20km Derby also should be doable that way. After all its “maximum” not “no escape zone”
i tested it a little, python loses too much energy and just falls off at 12 kilometers
Python is subsonic at 6.5km, Derby is subsonic at 10km
