Not really. The Pantsir had 30km range for what? Two years? A majority of nations getting something similar, or about 10km more range isnt all that equitable to something coming with 30+ km more range. Hell the Asters, if that statcard is true, doubles the range of any existing SPAA. That isn’t balanced in the slighest. Im guessing effe tive performance will be different but still.
You cant notch multiple launches since they are coming from different directions, you can’t multipath on most tank rb maps because of terrain. Also balance doesn’t have to do with just how you can sit in a corner and avoid getting hit, its about how you can fight back, in which case anything without a kh38 literally cant do anything, they can barely do much against a half decent SLM player.
People here saying “cope” and pretending laser bomb and maverick cas at 12.0 is OP are borderline schizo…
TL:DR on the spyder:
It’s the saddest pos vehicle I have ever played in WT, it should have been added over a year ago, it’s over BRed at 12.0, it was DOA last update and it’s even more dead this update.

20km with effectively 16 or 17

i think the big problem was its size and being a HE magnet wasnt it?

Also worth pointing out, in that same leak list, the already OP Kh-38 is getting a guidance time and range buff. Which it doesn’t need.

It’s needed so that the Russian mains wont quit the game all together lol
pantsir was 20km, not 30
I have 2 launchers max basically stuck at spawn, so i’m pretty confident they are indeed coming from “the same” direction
Besides, notching multiple missiles can still be done, even if they don’t come from the exact same vector. Takes a bit of technique though
Oh it has a whole lot of problems, but yeah being large and a HE magnets are two of them. Other problems are:
Derby-SR are just sad, Python 5s are casino slot machine levels of RNG (if they will even leave IOG) and the radar is absolute garbage.
I hate to be that guy, but a good old HE round and the SPAA is gone
I have a feeling CAS is next in line for the powercreep though, but don’t quote me on that
It can be 12.0 if they will fix it

Its also wild how we haven’t seen HARMs come to the game yet.
Spyder is a destroyer of worlds compared to the Japanese one, though… can’t even lock half the times.

Im talking about balance between CAS and SPAA, and you cant just choose to find the SPAA and kill it if you are in a tank and want to spawn cas without getting shot down right after you spawn, that’s not how the game works.
Also i would love for you to explain what a helicopter with no DIRCM (which is almost all of them at 11-12.0) is supposed to do
i meant the ones that will be added next update
Yes well i’m afraid we really don’t agree on CAS balance tbh
I consider it should be support, not be a destroyer of worlds like it was before
The new SAMs are all active radar, if you are in a heli, you just click the hover button and become invisible to their radar (special thanks goes to Gaijin entertainment for not modelling heli’s blades radar return)
If you meant IRIS-T SLM, then i kind of agree, but it was added last patch, so i’m not sure what it has to do with the current leak list.
heh, depends on the map
I am an AIM-120C5 trust me

I’m guessing the next Devblog is a Pre-order for the Teaser.
Only 89.99 to get the first 5 seconds of the teaser
Can you pay in GJN??
