SPYDER - General Discussion

Possible, but it just might be treated as something that was put into current planes RWR

We do, it’s ASRAD-R. It means absolutely nothing. At least now there is nothing special about it.

Yes, it would show up as a ?’

We have the Pantsir with a PESA track radar and ASRAD-R search radar

Spyder will also not give lock warning because it uses TWS (if any radar can detect its band)

also afaik, it can run on low enough power to be undetectable by rwr

And Tor, and HQ. When it comes to search we also have PESA on ZA-35. ASRAD-R is AESA.

So a feature of HARD (ASRAD-R), that is not implemented.

Why would that be a problem? It’s IEEE S band, so well within most RWR.

Cheers for the responses gents ^

As another question, do we have any idea what the capabilities should look like in regards to engaging multiple targets simultaneously with Derby’s?

Assumptions
You designate a target, and you fire. Then, just like in planes, the target is automatically updatet using DL untill terminal.

Question here: Does the Spyder have smoke grenades/something to defend itself against IR/TV munitions? The Flarakrad does.

believe me when i tell you they do jackshit, KH38mt has IOG and so much explosive to take you out even if you smoked

Hmm, yes, hadn’t though about it, but still if you throw the smoke before they can launch then they can’t fire at you.

hah good joke

They can? Damn then there’s no need to pop smoke. To be honest, I don’t have any SPAAs with smoke grenades and when I’m on the tanks, I don’t look up at the sky so I get bombed by them and don’t pop smoke.

you would first need to identify them and then decide if you wanna shoot or not
there is gos bombs that dont care about the smoke which can be thrown as well etc.

If you smoke yourself you are a dead fish in the water

Very true. Popping smoke reveals your position to other enemies… Then only thing one can do is intercept them.

Genius idea, here me out :

Four ISR players squad up.

Spyder / Spyder / Spyder / Rochev

Spyders huddle up

Rochev blankets the entire area in continuous 155 smoke.

AESA can see through the smoke

Win the thunder war

Questions ?

It doesn’t get smoke shells though.

wait does it not???

I think they do not, at least according to the WT Wiki. (I’m using the phone right now).

Yeah it doesnt… I thought it did

Could use a Shot Kal Gimel tho, can carry 72 rounds of smoke

Yeah, as long as there’s no difference when it come to calibers… would the smoke be smaller?

Slightly yes but you get 3 times the ammo
