They changed nothing. You can see the heli was very much stationary, missile it fired (or whatever that is) and F-15 were updated around once every 1s. You just got lucky radar worked as it should in its current implementation.
And python just tracked i guess.

i don’t remember the tracking being this good.
Update speed and tracking fidelity are two different things tbf, if the radar isn’t ghosting anymore that’s a massive start.
As i said
It not that obvious with this one.
error405 my beloved
When I get up I’ll take her out for a spin and see
Oh before I go I don’t know how many days ago this was but a bug report pertaining to the Pythons excessive drag and wobble got accepted. Fingers crossed boys
ok, it has not been changed
Made a bug report, IDK if its affecting y’all but I definitly have the issue of it leading my Pythons astray and they just refuse to get outta IOG

Seems like SPYDER is getting better every day
we can manifest it’s retribution like we always do.
SPYDER is completely helpless at top tier bro this is ridiculous. E2K at 7km and he’s just impervious to everything I throw at him. Gaijin didn’t give Israel a top tier AA they gave us a Deuce on our desk covered it in glitter

couldn’t agree more, the spyder right now is an absolute joke of an aa system. almost completely useless in the state that it’s in right now

Rafael brochures IIRC list launch conditions for attacker and target (subsonic and medium altitude), something rarely seen in first place.
Replicating that in game, Derby launched at 0.9mach and 4km high against subsonic target has about 50km range according to radar range estimates. So in that sense its “correct”.
If they refuse to fix it they need to lower it to 11.3. Not only does it lack performance compared to vehicles like the IRIS-T but it also only has HALF of the ammo count.

BR is broken at this point, a full decompression to 13.0 is needed, it’s not just about SPYDER.

14 would probably be better to match aircraft top BR. They need to stop with the musical compressions and do the right thing, then stick with the right thing when they add stuff. Late WWII all the way to the early 1980’s is so compressed that it is disheartening to see a full uptier anymore.
I’ve played a few game with it and gosh, it’s so bad… the radar is unreliable.

Would anyone know anything about Rafael’s “Global Link”?
A Janes articles says Python 5 were fitted with it. To me it basically sounds like datalink although datalink is never mentioned.
“Rafael Advanced Defense Systems has enhanced its fifth-generation Python-5 short-range air-to-air missile (AAM) with a networked capability, enabling it to acquire targets in a tactical air-to-air environment from associate aircraft equipped with the company’s Global Link software-defined radio (SDR) system.”
“Global Link simultaneously supports legacy (AM/FM) communication and advanced MANET waveforms… that not only delivers enhanced airborne situational awareness but also provides an uplink to Rafael’s Python-5 and other AAMs”
Just a radio for identification from what I can gather. Also they said the aircraft was fitted with it, not the Python 5
