It is not a nerf. It is an additional option that gives the players the chance to immediately scout without using the older method. Since it’s decently faster and it would be too strong without any tuning, it will have some “penalties” when scouting WITH the drone. The older method of leaving a ping, aiming at it and then scouting is still there and is not affected by the previously mentioned nerf.

Thank you, is that from the developers or is it your intepretation of the text?
I understand it as a general penalty once there is a drone in the air, whether or not the drone is used for scouting. But i hope that is not the case.
Furthermore, i still believe they should rework the spotting as it seems like it detects targets better through 15 objects than through one bush.
Another good addition is the max scouting range with the drone, as per the most recent datamine. Makes it so the drone users cant just run to safe distances and spot from there.
The latter. Although, from what I’ve seen, it seems to be the general understanding of that section.
On that datamine:
No changes there.

The switch in code is tied to which hotbar item is active at the time / which keybind is used. (They’ve added another keybind for UAV scouting, as you’ve seen in my post.) Switching to the UAV changes the hotbar and keybind, switching back to your vehicle changes them back. As such, whether your UAV is flying or not while you’re in your vehicle is inconsequential.

we’d most likely get a F-15C with a full modern equipment before that (ie: updated cockpits, Full AESA radars, AIM-9xs or better AIM-9Ms, and talon hate (as i’ve mentioned before), after all, the F-15Cs of today are getting phased out slowly by the incoming F-15EXs, even if the F-15SE gets added its gonna be a bit behind due to it being in 2010, whereas the last (quick searched) known upgrade to the Cs ,although limited to select airframes, 2025, and last widespread upgrade being 2007/2010s and
No
It is factually worse
Spyder has the worst kd ratio of all new spaas and tam sam kai isnt much better
Player skill doesn’t equal to vehicle performance. Then by your logic Chinese top tier should be one of the strongest with the win rate.
Thats good to hear!
Yes it is. I have both the CS/SA5 and the Spyder. If I had to choose I would play the CS/SA5 any day of the week over the Spyder.
I see.
Yeah, ive read that clarification by Smin. Good to see that they comment on some unckear stuff in the datamines. However, i dont see how that comment relates to anything in my reply you are replying to?
Well, looks like it’s time for me to eat my words:
But we should test it to find out for sure.

Jesus.
And:
18 seconds as long as the UAV is airborne
Yes, thats the gripe
Yeah, it is 6 seconds cooldown without an UAV in the air, and 18 seconds and With UAV whenever the player has an UAV in the air. Doesnt matter whether the enemy is scouted with the tank or the UAV. Ridiculous.
Ofc it is related but not it that way
Best exmple is france with the leclerc being veey steong in stats cuz france has good playerbase but we all know leclerc is mid at best
Germany is the oppsite with 2a7
Israel is like france thats why namer and merkava are overperforming in stats all tho they are huge peper vehicles and in case if the namer also slow asf
No it is not rediculous. Even if you don’t scout with the UAV, you still know WHERE they are, and can still use the squad ping. Or go back to your tank and use the map ping. No, the cooldown needs to stay extended if that UAV is in the air. Want the quick cooldown back? Crash your drone then.
I play light tanks 90%+ of the time. The extended cooldown is absolutely warranted when the UAV is in the air.
Or they could fix the everlasting bug that is the current spotting system? Why would they still let it be more efficient to spot an enemy through a kilometer of terrain than to spot someone partially hidden by a lamp post?
Okay but that still doesn’t mean that is it a good vehicle. Just because something in the game is worse doesn’t make the thing any better. Comparing which vehicles are worse only divides the playerbase and stops us from being united and asking gaijin to buff ALL the vehicles that were unfairly treated.
