SPYDER - General Discussion

When they will give I-Derby-ER ? SPYDER’s being more useless with suck missiles after this update with fully AESA jets
SPYDER’S NEEDED I-Derby-ER

Not any time soon, as this would require from them to model dual pulse motor. Doubt they will do it any time soon.

Devs Keep Ignoring Essential Fixes for the SPYDER

It’s downright frustrating watching Gaijin dodge real improvements to the SPYDER AIO while they roll out fresh AA toys for every other nation.

Players have been yelling about the same bugs for months: Python-5s chasing decoys and ghost tracks, Derby missiles sailing straight past targets with no correction, radar clutter turning low-alt fights into a nightmare. And did they come up with a “fix”? Reducing the Radar Horizontal Scan Frequencycheers, Gaijin, for that silent NERF!*🥂

Meanwhile, top-tier AA elsewhere gets constant buffs, or hell if no buffs they get new ones!!! Leaving Israel’s SPYDER neglected and punching below its BR.

Israel, the new France/Italy

As one said; INDEED. How long till we see actual gameplay fixes instead of cosmetic tweaks for the Namer? And the so-called “APS fix”, which still doesn’t work against LMURS😂"

* The mentioned nerf was about 10-15% reduction in horizontal scan frequency which was discovered** in the data mines in the recent update
** I can’t truly confirm the legibility of the “claim” since I haven’t personally performed the data mine.

Huh, it seems i forgot to post it here.
I changes SPYDER radar a little to test something.
Elevation 0-90, scan rate of 0.01s. See what happens.

Is this on dev?

wdym

No, this is on live

Unless they give it LR lmao (they won’t, comparable or not to other munitions ingame)

LR also has a dual pulse, that is why i said MR, as this one does not need that mechanic implemented.

Ik, that’s the point I’m making. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they add the mechanic, only add the I-Derby LR say problem solved and call it a day, and then not add the I-Derby ER that’s literally apart of it bc gaijin

Naw probably a greek copy paste Tor or smth

I-Derby LR? Whats the range?

Ok so SPYDER MR/LR systems are the same, kind of like SPYDER SR/ER, in the weaponry they can use (same launchers and same missile options).

The I-Derby MR/Python 5 MR are I-Derby and Python 5 with a extended range booster attached (simple naming I know), whereas the I-Derby LR is the same thing but with an I-Derby ER as the main missile. ~40km range for Python 5 MR, ~60km range for I-Derby MR, and ~80km range for LR iirc.

SPYDER’s NEEDED NEW MISSILES I-DERBY-XR

i dont think I-Derby XR is a thing… or im i wrong?

Marketed, likely in development if I had to guess. Now it’s still heavily debated but I think it’s possible it’s planned to use the Sky Sting

holy moly sky sting? i never knew that thing existed, is it just a much much more improved Derby?
