SPYDER - General Discussion

Ive looked as early as this morning, so far nothing.

It won’t matter, 12.0 is always 13.0 anyway. If they move up SPYDER from what is already top BR for ground then they move up CAS too (it makes sense) which means that for most players things get better, for Israeli mains who would now have an AA that works? Its still leagues better

Le me explain
In the future the gonna add better sams and munitions and probably makes the br higher for some stuff
And they will make the spyder the same br as s300 or smt

I wouldn’t put it past them, but I think it would be better if they added a new class of SPAA. s300 is a medium range solution like Patriot. It shouldn’t be on the field with our tanks. Story for another time however. Tbf if they buffed SPYDER with I-Derby-ER and fixed it’s three glaring issues rn, I wouldn’t care. They could boost GRB max to 13.0 and make SPYDER the highest BR out of all of them. It would be that good. It has a flawless combat record in both indo-pak and the 12 day war. The fact we are sitting here begging for crumbs to fix a proven world class AA is ridiculous. I’m genuinely worried they’ll make Patriot useless just because Israel gets them too, to say nothing of David’s sling. All SPYDER needs right now, are fixes we don’t need new missiles (though this would be nice) or new features. We just need three things

We need the radar to actually work, the idea of 4 AESAs performing worse than a Gepard and dropping locks like an F4 phantom is ridiculous. We know gaijin can and has modeled planar ESA radars before since we’ve had the Pantsir for years.

We need the Python to actually fly like a missile and not like a dyslexic paper airplane in a hurricane. (DL would also be wonderful there is more than enough evidence)

And we need the Derby we have to actually go active

Fix all of this and SPYDER functions just fine after which I will stop complaining on the spot.

EDIT: oh right I almost forgot this might be a me thing but my DL for the Derby SR is not working resulting in me only being able to fire on one target with them. Asking around if I’m alone here

Yea s300 was an exagertion but u got my point
I dont belive gaijin will let the spyder be at the top of the food chain

Damn this thing is utter garbage. Anything with FnF missiles can just do whatever they want as long as they stay 8-10km away from you.

Both Derby and Python 5 feel inconsistent as hell.

Is derby smokeless or not?

It is not at least in the game

Sad
