Ik that both irist and p5 and maybe 9x got optical but p5 got it removed for some reason
If u say its irist too then maybe ita just balance desision
Just off the top of my head. Romania, Czech Republic, and Kenya all in the last 3 months
IRIS-T I’m not sure on, but it’s well documented that 9X and P5 use IIR which would translate to Optical tracking in game
Yes but gaijin said nah uh cuz israel cant be this good right?
Evidently, probably just butthurt that Russian systems got clowned on in real time last month
You are incorrect. I will correct in a second.
I heard Iran got Iraq to position Pantsir S1? (Might have been S2) On the border to try and stop the strikes. Obviously it did nothing. Back on topic even if they gave Optical tracking to P5 it wouldn’t help much we need the FM to get fixed and the SPYDERs radar to be corrected.
Irist is also a iir seeker head missile just like p5 and aim9x
I figured I just wasn’t sure
It does not translate to optical actually it is very powerful than optical lock if iir was given no countermeasure in game will be able to defeat it because it is like a ir image of the target and flare are just ignored only bol flare works by creating a whole layer of ir behind jet but in game it does not work
It also just a lazy explanation
All of the mentioned are IIR, both IRIS-T, 9X and P5. That does not translate to optical lock in game. Non of the missiles get it. In game they get seeker shutoff and FoV shrink. P5 should get it, as it is IIR and CCD IRL. 9X and IRIS-T are IIR only.
I’m aware we don’t have true IIR (unless you count the Spike which I do) but tracking the image of a target is close enough for balance purposes. Again not that it matters we need FM and radar fixes. In my mind everything else is secondary
Even after months all the spaa are broken and gaijin does not want to fix anything they will say tell us what is wrong than say not a bug yeah man probably because they are working on new update and will drop something more broken
Well not all of them, SLM and CLAWS seem to be fine. Admittedly CS/SA5 and Elde are kinda meh but at least theyre functional
As for something more broken, my guess is ARMs and medium range SAMs. Also ive heard they’re just gonna skip Buk M2 and go straight to M3 for RUS which is ridiculous
I’m sure Israel is simply kind enough to give out similar systems for just a fraction of the price.
Considering Kenya still operates decades old tanks, it’s safe to assume they value the cost over anything else basically.
Stating that Spyder is amazing because countries like Kenya and Romania decided to buy it is a bit naive.
Im not stating it is amazing because other countries are purchasing it. I’m stating it’s amazing because of its stellar combat record and using the fact that there has been an uptick in sales to various nations as secondary reference to prove my claim. Its obviously good enough for many nations to consider buying and its lower price point and proven record are obvious given these nations aren’t buying something like the Pantsir for example.
Where it did see combat and against what ?
cheap*
Considering Romania and Czech Republic are members of NATO, I doubt they’d buy anything RU-made under any circumstances.
SPYDER saw combat against Drones and missiles in the Isreal Iran conflict as a defensive measure during Iran’s retaliatory strikes. It also saw limited use on the Indo Pakistani conflict in the same role. No units were lost
