yeah stuff like AN/MPQ-64 is underperforming quite severely as well. but its all WIP so for now best to assume its close to IRL performance
Spyder, is seemingly cooked now unfortunately.
Supposedly a tech mod or whatever said it won’t have Derby ER’s (SLM kind of range) so it’s going to be stuck with SR’s at best (ADATS kinda range lol)
It could have been SLM / Pantsir quality, but now it’s destined to play like a Tor with Strela missiles.
If CAS does get a buff, and this is what I have to deal with it, I think I’m done.

about 12 days left to drop the update i think
It definitely would, because every spaa needing to have their radar off would means barely any competition for another plane that can get up to 6 free kills.
For the first time in months, hell even years, cas at top tier is not just some free kills crutch that bad players can use so that they can pretend that they are decent at the game.

8km max effective range is terrible for a new 12.0 spaa lol.

it’s just similar to old tops including Pantsir, fnf and auto pilot makes them more efficient, still a progress.
Then a lot of CAS needs a BR reduction. Kinda stupid to expect a Tornado Gr1 to fight IRIS-T SLMs.
But anyway. CAS still needs buffs. If nothing else, aircraft like the Typhoon can actually be partially brought up to their IRL performnace rather than massive fake nerfs
The SLM currently can’t fire its missiles at all without a radar lock. So it would just become completely useless…

We could literally add orbital rods from gods and I swear people would still ask for the Death Star next update 😭

Hmm… Nose cone thing then?
figured it would.
The Pantsir has a much higher max effective range than 8km.
8km at 12.0 is just garbage. Most if not all of the 12.3-13.0 CAS aircraft will laugh at the Spyder if it keeps that 8km max effective range.

So far only Type 81 TADs can do it in the dev
Then again. We’ll have to wait and see for live then
Anyone have a screenshot of the IRIS-T statcard? Not the SLM
or just intercept it
“A member of the AKERON family and based on technologies developed for the AKERON MP missile, which entered service with the armed forces in 2017, the AKERON LP is a fifth-generation long-range multi-role missile. Lighter and with a minimum range of 8 kilometers, the AKERON LP is equipped with a tri-mode seeker and a secure data link allowing it to operate in autonomous “fire and forget” mode while keeping a man in the loop. The missile offers flexibility to the armed forces through its beyond-line-of-sight firing capability as well as the ability to modify the point of impact during flight. The AKERON LP optimizes the flight trajectory according to weather conditions and the firing environment. Finally, its multi-effect charge allows it to neutralize static or moving platforms in complex environments. It is as effective on infrastructure as it is on the armor of the latest generation tanks, confirming its multi-role character.”
The missile has been successfully tested on Tiger helicopters. Is it possible that this missile will be used in games in the future?

On multi vehicle AA’s :
If you take the launch vehicle to a cap / ammo box, can you rearm it?
If you take the radar vehicle to a cap / ammo box, can you get more launch vehicles?
or just replace the AIO with the battery version. im sure players would appreciate not having to go through another grind including stock upgrades
