SPYDER - General Discussion

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

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

I got excited because I was looking at the reports and it wasn’t just accepted it had a comment that said it had been passed to devs. (Let me have hope dammit) And yeah Ik it isnt perfect on the radar, but giving us an extra -25° and better scan rate is a win

at this rate bug reports like these are getting accepted but not our spyder ones.

Spoiler

Yeah, that does suck. But maybe gaijin will actually do something with our bug reports. We can hope.

Gaijin wonders


spyder is the worst performing spaa out of the new added ones by statshark.
great job gaijin. keep doing a great job by not bothering to fix it.

I’ve killed targets at 10km range w/ P5, they close to like 7km tho. The Merkava is the most survivable tank at top tier so idk what your on, yeah the APS is buns and the Namer doesnt get dawged on if you can sit hull down. Im not saying skill issue, I’m js saying you might not be using these tanks and SPAAs to their best. the Spyder is bugged and broken but still playable. The APS isn’t needed if you’ve used it before, I’ve absorbed KH-38MTs and Hammers in it, its just luck atp.

The difference between IRIS-T and everything else is insane.
