SPYDER - General Discussion

Even this thing is performing better than what we currently have in-game

Sure, I will post it later once I’m home. In the mean time, could you take a screenshot of it in the test drive doing TWS on only one target?

Welp that answers my question of if I’m grinding this or not

notice how when you give them proper source they ignore the report but when your wording is ever so slightly off they reject within a day

I just got killed by this missile launcher that I couldn’t manually retract
They should add this feature as soon as possible, allowing the player to manually operate the raise/retract of the missile launcher themselves

gaijin should also fix the smokeless motor of MIM-72E and MIM-72G.
since the AIM-9X is a smokeless missile, they should implement the same “code” in both missiles, even in Python 5.

Mim 72g should also have the stinger seeker
Currently it has the mim 72e with stinger irccm but not seeker

You can actually go rate the SPYDER on the wiki

And plus 1 more(

dont worry people, in 20 years when refael blesses the world with the python 7, some information about the python 4 may go unclassified :D and we could finally report properly with a brochure that gaijin already has

Does anyone know if the I-Derby SR is meant too have an onboard active radar like the Derby? im assuming yeah. im noticing in all my server replays the I-Derby SR simply doesnt emit a beam like standard Fox 3s and in almost every launch the moment the DL portion of the radar craps out its going to IOG for most of the flight path.

Not surprised I thought the derbys were a touch weak. (Relatively speaking since the system itself is borderline useless) I only use the P5 even with the BS DIRCM being a thing

According to this site each one of this radar have 120 Az cover.
So 4 of them can scan 480 degrees?
It’s 120x90 (45+ and 45- vertically)
And still no TWS and any of AESA pluses

What are you on about?

And its not ±45, it is asymetric in order to obtain hemispheric coverage

I feel like i saw a recreaton of the Gaijin radar dev looking at RPS-10

Ou… hold one maybe I wrong.

Oh they aint just weak, I suspect they have been modelled as some scuffed IR missile instead.

I’ve noticed through testing the I-Derby SR is the ONLY ARH missile that doesnt seem to emit any sensor cone in sensor viewer (client or server replay) but I noticed that when its tracking a target it will ONLY use IOG+DL till its within 2 miles and then turn to TRK which seems seriously incorrect for an ARH missile going pitbul and I suspect with the utterly garbage radar these missiles are straight up flying blind to a target.

If someone has the CLAWS I’de be curious to see if that exhibits similar behaviour.

IMO machbet is the SPAA that need to have the research bonus for the SPYDER
and not the sh*t-box called chaparral (and its somehow 9.7)

i wish machbet actually had it’s firerate buffed and perhaps get APDS rounds…
even tho it’s the super vulcan, without the missiles it’s just a generic m163 with few modifications which doesn’t really change your gameplay at all. same same gun capacity and whatsoever

Chaparral missing its stinger seeker it should have
Currently it has min72e seeker with stinger irccm

Dont forget that it should have optical lock
