SPYDER - General Discussion

I’m so tired of watching my p5 chase ghost targets and my derby just going in a straight line past the target. When will any of this stuff be fixed. Why is it that they are adding even more anti air for other nations and yet they can’t fix the spyder. All they’ve focused on fixing is changing the crew replacements icon. Plz gaijin for the love of god show some damn love to this TT

The reports for everything majorly broken/wrong with the spyder have been open for 5-6 months now with no changes. This is gonna be the trophy reports all over again

data link/LOAL (Lock-On After Launch) functionality Is still missing as well. The radar still acts and functions like a worse rotational radar when it should be a constant 360 degree coverage. Plz can these be addressed for the next update.

I think most esas in general are underperforming…
After seeing that the one bug report on the euro fighter esa radar that can scan 560! Degrees a second IRL while no other radar in the game comes close to even half of that… I’m sure if they buff all ESA radar to similar levels of that radar, every single esa radar and munition in the game will become a lot easier to use

ground Aesas have basically no beam steering either.

This is partially correct.
SPYDER radar can provide persistent coverage, but in C-RAM mode, in air surveillance mode it scans just like in game.

Elaborate what you mean by this.

Wrong thread?

Adding a PREMIUM su-30 to China = yeah of course its good!!

Giving F-15SG to israel = big problem, wont be balanced.

I guess they had denied 15sg because they have a better, more profitable vehicles to implement. Noone wants to play f-16 without irccm fox2 or fox1 against su30 constantly on a netz. Thats it. This is why you take your copy-paste merk1 and go, dont hold the line please.

Unlikely, Stona has deleted a few of my messages before (I pointed out that the Spyder is unfinished and its tire color changes with the camouflage condition slider). Furthermore, I’ve pinged Smin1080 in this discussion twice with a whole list of bug reports. The first time he responded, he said he’d look at them. However, we never got an answer back. Second ping, he never responded. Furthermore, I have spoken with a bug moderator via Discord about the subject. Gaijin is fully aware of the Spyder and its problems; they just don’t want to do anything about it. The chance of any new info being added here is unlikely to do anything. The best we can hope for is a new anti-air as a whole.

Sorry to respond to an old post. This may be the nail in the coffin for the Spyder.

Ah man, this is genuinely sad and it’s really messing with my view of community managers…

That line screws with my head. I honestly can’t come up with any explanation other than Gaijin making a political call.

At least I won’t waste any more time on this game.

Yeah… I’m afraid so too.
Shame. “Hope keeps ideas alive,” and they just choked it out.


On a sincere note: you seem truly dedicated, so thank you for replying to my post and digging through Dev PMs and forum pages. Somebody had to do it, and I really appreciate that you did.

This isn’t related to the thread tho…

I was asked to play the Spyder by some people who thought it had been fixed since the summer. Good news, if you want to notch a Spyder at 9km and high alt, just continue flying straight.

Is it normal a low flying plane not getting lock from my radar?
