SPYDER - General Discussion

(And the p5 missile wobble is driving me nuts, uses all of its power from swinging all over an over correcting)

Oh I am not saying theyre performing well. Just saying that is how I have managed to get kills (by maintaining the lock). I have had plenty of “Where the hell did that missile go?” moments, but if I can maintain the lock for the Data Link, I can usually get a reliable hit.

I’ve had no luck but like 10 kills I think I have at most with it. It’s so sadly unreliable

Can Spider launch P5 without turning on the radar? If so, why isn’t this implemented in the game?

That is a good question… I would guess not because of the vertical launch style but cant say for sure

My main problem is getting matches where someone actually brings anything that can fly. Most top tier is “I died and didnt get SP for my plane, I am gone” matches. I watch people with full lineups die once then bail which snowballs, and with the spotting bug that allow light tanks to spot everything from spawn using the drone it isnt helping the situation because you will get 1 - 4 light tanks hanging in spawn trying to spot targets to lower their CAS SP

putting half their resources of a major update into some battleships that barely anyone cares about instead of adding strong and working top tier SPAA for everyone

So sadly true it’s not even funny

Im sorry wait, your P5s have DL?

Photos or it didn’t happen. We’ve got bug reports out on this exact issue

surely he means iog not dl

You know I’m actually confused about something. Where is the proof the FB-10 has DL? Since they gave it DL while still ignoring the SPYDERs myriad problems

The FB-10 is known to have DL, and thats what the functions of the antennas are

There is no reason to go after a different missile because the Python 5 as of now doesnt have DL

Funny since Python 5 is also known to have DL, but im not going after the FB-10 specifically, I want stuff in game to be realistic too. What I’m going after is Gaijins BS.

Gaijin doesn’t seem to care a single bit. Look here, this thread was created to discuss all the major issues with the Tan-SAM kai, some of the main bug reports are even listed there. A lot of them accepted too, and the most major issues (missing LOAL and UTDC (basically IOG + DL for IR missiles) capabilites) have been accepted OVER 2 MONTHS AGO, yet the only SPAA that got such a significant upgrade so far is the CS/SA5.

When you watch a replay where you launch one, go to the sensor view or whatever it is. It will show that they are on Data Link / IOG on launch until they level off to aquire. It very well could just be an issue with the replay system, but both Python 5 and Derby both show it on launch

i just had an experience of SPYDER, i couldn’t lock onto the heli that was AT LEAST 100m high but when i used my blackhawk i were literally scratching the sand with it and OSA AKM (10.3) killed me

It appears Python 5’s shake so much that they lose seeker lock on targets

hey i just found out another bug, i’m not 100% sure if it’s about SPYDER but anyway, when i use SPYDER at first respawn, die and then use Namer 30 i can’t lock my Spike-LR 2 rockets , the green lock square just freezes on top of my crosshair and even if i lower it down and lock onto target my rocket just hits the ground. It happens only after i die in a SPYDER first
