With this update adding missile systems such as buk with 70km range and SAMP/T with 100km range, each of which reach a velocity of 1500m/s, the Spyder desperately needs to get I-Derby-ER. The pythons on it are already very unreliable and still yet to be fixed and the Derby on it is quite useless. Adding I-Derby-ER is more than balanced now and will make the Spyder more competitive and closer to being equal to the new systems.
Tan Sam Kai is already DOA (a singaporean MICA-VL should be added, or the Type 03 Kai), the Elde might be able to get better IRIS-T variants (and more ammo boxes) and the chinese SAM is already pretty good so for the other 3 nations with mediocre choices, here are my suggestions for them.
guys can we go back the the SPYDER topic this is not for other SPAAs this is for the SPYDER soo… talk about the SPYDER problems that are various to solve.
And also Spyder needs an actual tws mode of aesa. How comes Buk gets perfectly fine esa track radar from the start and we still having regular spinning radar of a flarakrad with single target tws mode added?
All it needs is AESA search pattern and I-Derby ER to be somewhat viable. After that, Python 5 fixes, radar fixes (as in 4 beams not 1), toplite python slaving, and derby drag fixes should bring it up to par with other systems
Elde can’t get better missiles and would need to be given unfair treatment to bring its ammo count up. I say unfair because people will cry even if its added for balance to give it more than 8 missiles total with ammo box, more ammo still doesn’t fix the Elde being the shortest range 12.0 SPAA at 9km nor does it fix uts mobility problem or gimped radar, it should just be removed from the game.
Extra ammo box isn’t gonna fix the Elde, thats 12 missiles, 12 of the shortest range missile at top 12.0, what needs to happen is the Spyder needs to be actually made effective and the radar needs to not over pressure the whole vehicle.
Elde should just get removed there is nothing worth saving with that dumpster fire
