SPYDER - General Discussion

Butchered Spyder (No I-derby ER and Python 5 sucks), 16 SPICE 250’s for the Gripen E and Not F-16I, litteraly a customer having more than the owner himself, they might also give more python 4’s to the Aussie F-18 than the F-16I

Wasn’t the F-15 able to also carry SPICE-250s? I’m just tired of having to grind something just for it to be ass. Spyder is unholy and unless the target flies in a straight line you ain’t hitting it and let’s not talk about the deadzone + range, it must have like 5 km effective range at this point.

yes, F-15I can hold about 28 SPICE 250’s, According to Rafael themselves

Also rants aside, the TT needs an SPAA between the SPYDER and Chaparral. Uptiering yourself to 12.7 just for a SPAA that barely works isn’t a smart play, and I actually would like to have something in between those. Does Israel even have something that fits without “breaking” the game? I’d guess the SPYDER SR would be too much? (I want a radar please) Also, I guess we could suggest the SPYDER MR or something? Only if it actually works similarly to the multi-vehicle SPAAs in-game, I guess.

Ah, no wonder they didn’t add them I guess.

Theres also a captured strella with wheels, but idk if israel used it.

Israel had MISTRAL missiles?

Prototype for another nation

Another day goes by. Another soul fed to a bmpt. When may we see the spyder or namer or merks be accurate?

Starting to feel like this is just false hope

btw namer is supposed to be more survivable than BMPT in terms of armor

By far for sure. It’s an absolute joke with what armor there is on the merks or namers. They completely just don’t care about anything that isn’t russian. They sit silent on the fact that the bmpt is ruining the game. With little to no efforts to fix it. Ive about given up on this game cause its every update there is always just something added to russia. Im burnt out on the grind. Im tired of fighting in a shoebox sized map. If there wasn’t russian bias before, there is now. Anyone who says there isn’t is gaslighting themselves. This games a joke rn. Merks are trash. Namers are trash. Spyder is trash. Anything else gets modeled turret baskets, power units, ect. Anybody who wants 5 second reload has to spend real money. On the other hand auto loader buffs don’t need payed for. Go and ask devs or tech mods about how implementations of “accepted” bug reports for nato tanks/aircraft aren’t implemented and get comments locked or get very shallow answers or just get no answers.the merkava armor report is a great idea of that (4 years of nothing) This is a game made for the devs to farm money at this point. They aren’t making this into a game for people to enjoy. They don’t listen to their community. They say they don’t want classified documents, yet they ask for them. It’s all a cycle of garbage with this game that frankly ill be glad to walk away from and it’s kinda looking like that. Next major update gonna test my patience

God bro, It’s torture playing the spyder bro. Then having my paper tanks to get rinsed by everything. This tech tree is so garbage. And it’s the devs fault for it, just letting this stuff pile up with how bad Israel tt is right now. FIX THE DAMN SPYDER AND MERKS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

We just do NOT!! NEED ANOTHER COPY AND PASTE LEOPARD!!!

I love how, with every other topic, when people complain about a vehicle being bad, there are always a few people to say it’s not that bad, and then insert how X vehicle is worse. And sometimes Gaijin does take the feedback and improve said vehicle despite mixed comments. Then there is Spyder, a topic where 100% of posts say “yeah this thingis garbage,” only for crickets from every Gaijin (aside from Surbaissemaxxing, which genuinely thank you for your efforts and trying to help improve this vehicle). Like, there is no question this AA is just terrible in every regard (not a single person here has once tried arguing it’s fine, even as ragebait), and yet Gaijin decided to put it at a higher BR than Slamraam despite being worse in every way. From missile performance to radar, mobility, size, and ammo count, Spyder is worse in every category.

Hell, the one thing I remember them fixing was making Python 5s smokeless… Only to break that two updates ago and give it smoke agian.

US, Russia and Germany: first time?

Its not due to “player feedback” but due to vehicle statistics. And clearly whoever still plays Spyder continues to do too good in it to warrant changes.

I remember it having the lowest KDA of all time.

I love greece and cyprus coming to israel to help strengthen the tech tree. It’s more or so the fact that gaijin thinks fixing the armor problem for israel is adding more, somewhat copy paste leopards. I think it will add more diversity for sure for the tech tree. I just hate how the merkava armor report has been accepted for so long but gaijin just sits quiet and offers more or so more copy paste vehicles. I love that Israel for once has been acknowledged by gaijin as being a tech tree that needs fillers. But I wish they would acknowledge/ fix the problems with more indigenous Israel tech. Again though. I do love to hear Greece and Cyprus are coming to Israel. I just wonder how soon it will be though, and will there choices change before then as well
