So first gaijin refuses to give merkava 4s good armor
Then they overtier the merkava 3
They refuse to add any top tier SPAA for over 2 years
They remove the historical smokeless motor from chaparral
They add the Namer and make it useless with no armor
Then they add a second namer that works the same
They fix the bugs with the netz and turn it into a premium without touching the TT variant
And now they add a Spyder thats worse than the chaparral at taking out planes while buffing the Kh38

How fun

Only except they make it 0.3 BR higher on account of it having Trophy, despite Trophy being non functionally bugged lol.

Speaking of Trophy being bugged, a big YouTuber (Zenturion) made a video on it today :

Hopefully some actual publicity of the issue beyond our relatively small playerbase talking about it may finally get it addressed.

These days I’m getting my posts hidden…
Anyways, to make up for it, I’m posting a picture of the SPYDER-SR.

If Gaijin ever adds this (we can wait an eternity for this) it might fair better as the missiles won’t try to go to space, they’ll be facing the enemy plane.

As I said, Russian APS>Trophy APS (cuz why not).

Well, its all subject to change but here is small comparasing of what we supposed to recieve vs what was shown on a dev:

  1. 360x90 aesa radar → 360x70 with terrible refresh rate and no multitarget TWS
  2. Python 5 with 70G pull and smokeless motor → 26G pull missile with a smoke trail
  3. i-Derby ER with 40km double pulse smokeless motor → i-Derby SR with 20km range (more like 10-15) smoke motor
  4. ability to use radar while in retracted position → only in extended position
  5. ability to track targets via optical lock and launch P5 without radar → no optical lock and launch functionality

Thats first what comes to mind.
