SPYDER - General Discussion

True, but giving the proper refresh rate would be a nice start

Oh I know, I should have worded it differently.

The radar likes to jump all over the place when it actually tracks an aircraft like it has severe ADHD, I would love it if they somehow fixed that.

Also I’m aware but sometimes it hits anyway. Its crazy when it works. (Which is admittedly almost never)

This radar should be at the very least equal to the tracking radar (TSMR-2 IIRC) on the S1. At best? We should be looking at full coverage EM/2052s (these are comparisons) it’s hilarious to me this thing can’t see at all but IRIS-T picks you up through trees and OTH nearly

Funny thing is, if they’re worried about balance I would simply take the missiles being fixed and deal with the crappy radar. At least then we could defend ourselves. But there is no reason we should be denied any of it. Its just Israel. In case gaijin forgot this is the least played nation in the game. Even if they made SPYDER the menace it rightfully should be at most there is only ever 1-2 Israeli players on a team.

In this photo, you can see how the python 5, having an excellent trajectory of destruction, simply does not destroy the maverick that flew 7 km (15) before me.

Now I am completely convinced that the missile is in a raw state. Not only does it not turn to the target, but it simply does not hit relatively slow targets. A missile with a high overload is probably brainless, does not want to give it its all and is limited by something (not configured). I hope that this will not be put off for later and will be fixed, but although if you look at the active protection system on the Merkava, it looks like it will take a long time.

Why python 5 still doesnt have optical lock or smt like that when its all over the rafael site?

THEY SHAKE THAT MUCH??? 😭 😭 😭

Yes they do. They’re supposed to have a 15km max range. They barely do 8 thanks to the wobble. The DL doesn’t work either (for the whole system) fire more than two derbys at separate targets and one or both will miss

It also has too much drag

Yeah I’m aware but because that would be constituted as a “buff” it’s unlikely as we would need proof. The issues with SPYDER and P5 RN are closer to bugs that can be fixed with no documents or other hoops

The simplest way to buff it is use this

Get someone to be at the edge of the envelope, and see if it hits

Ok I wont lie I’m actually confused at this one

You see the grey line? Anywhere within Derby should intercept targets. Iirc Python has 15km of the range, not 20.

Ty for the clarification. Also P5 has 15km in game.

Although it could be Python SR in the diagram. Which would be easily capable of 20

What? Python SR is just a Python. Only MR makes a difference. So it is still 15.

I thought SR was the one with the extra booster

No, that’s MR

Fair enough
