I’m sure countries looking to buy those things test them out in WT before deciding lmao.
yet somehow still managed to mess it up pretty bad
I guess its worth pointing this out here, but I’ve made a report about the AIO missing it’s -25° depression for scanning around a week ago

IRIS-T works fine, except for the bug that sometimes makes the radar lay flat and rotate like a cement truck. The missiles and tracking works which is the most important. Spyder is a mess that can barely kill an attack drone.
have you seen the flightpath?
If you mean vertical launch → level to horizontal → start lofting, its pretty damn finished compared to mess Spyderp is.
to clarify, yes the spyder is butchered, but not once i had an issue with shooting down the drones that spawn within 15 kilometers in the sky
Yes, because they’re so slow and clumsy that even IOG itself would be enough to take them down.
Again I was saying it’s unlikely that Rafael would take issue with how their product is represented in game given how most of it is speculation. I’m not even the person who brought it up so I don’t know why you have singled me out
Anyone with at least two braincells can tell that what we have in game is in no way even remotely accurate to one of the most modern anti air systems.

Wow, you killed a 100km/h straigh fly drone ? So the Spyder is OK and doesn’t have bug … Are you serious ?!
i quite literally said they butchered the spyder
“spyder is a mess that can barely kill an attack drone” was the part i disagreed with
But it’s true, if a kill is done because straight flight with a missile that doesn’t even see the target it’s not ok at all.
I already killed planes at 6km with M247 because straight flight, that doesn’t mean the SPAA is able to make 6km kill … an APDFS launched by a tank with IRST would have the same result, so should tanks be taged as SPAA ?
If the same drone starts to make barrel rolls the missile will not be able to kill him because he’s tottaly blind.

Oh I agree, but this person has been heckling me for a statement I made against someone else, they brought up the possibility of Rafael taking legal action due to misrepresentation. I stated it was extremely unlikely due to the classified nature of their products. This seems to have stirred someone into thinking I believe they would because pursue legal action due to a video game. Which I stated twice now I believe not to be the case for a fairly obvious reason. As for the game itself still waiting on anything for SPYDER this is ridiculous.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I have been checking bug reports. Some of our grievances are being addressed. Smokeless P5, radar search zone, TWS ESA and P5 flight path have all been forwarded to devs. This ofc doesnt mean that it will get fixed, but it does mean the hard part is over. They at least heard our cries and are doing something about it. I hope one day soon we can log in and see the SPYDER become a fearsome SPAA defending the skies in GRB.
Heard our cries ? If they had tested the Spyder before release it they would have noticed that nothing is working …
Fire and forget missiles that don’t track ? Lest go !!!
Can’t reach a target farthest than 4km ? Lest go !!!
Radar not able to follow targets ? Lest go !!!
99.9% artists for 0.1% devs …

Hi @Smin1080p_WT
Sorry to bother, but I am slighly annoyed how the radar os SPYDER was handled.
That part was ignored in my report, but it was adressed in someones else report.
Radar elevation is denied, based on the fact that someone, i assume it is a developer
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/b8l0ywfvtEAt
denies the evelavion said in the brochure
Instead saying that flat AESA can have only ±45, so a limit radars like that had around year 2000.
Modern radars are more than capable of looking at greater angles
Examples from ECRS and Skyranger brochures
How are we supposed to convince that person that they are capable of doing more, when they ignore official manufacturer documents?

wow im sorry but thats tbh the dumbest response I have seen. both the brochure from Rafael AND the exMHR spec sheet lists the damn specs as being 90 degree in both azimuth and elevation… yet the game has it coded as a 65 degree limit on elevation so where is the other 25 then? because it sure as hell doesnt look below the Horizon line lmfao
@Smin1080p_WT Yeah below is the attached images for scan limits of the radar, its literally meant to have 90 degrees, this is literally coded as 65 with the horizon being the lower limit and 65 being the upper.
I would love to know what sources the devs pulled for this considering the brochure and the manufacturer contradict that already
