In the game the Spyder has a radar coverage of only 65° vertically which isn’t accurate and less than that irl Spyder AIO
according to Rafael’s main website Spyder AIO covers 360° with it’s non rotating radar meaning hemispherical coverage with no blind spots . 0° to 90°
For all 4 panels
idk why and for what reason this isn’t implemented in the game however there’s a bug report on this
Bug report:
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/j5hOgNKcY2KK
And another “bug” is the target updating on the radar
There’s a bug report for this one that strictly says the radar should provide constant update on the target which isn’t the case in the game rn
The bug report:

These bug reports has been sitting for 9 months
These inaccuracies are not add-ons or suggestions for the future these are features that the SPYDER AIO has in real life and is capable of but not in the game
Rafael’s website stating that the radar covers 360°. twice:

It’s cause it’s not Russian, brother. They don’t care about how the spyder and merks and namers and Eitan are all modeled wrong. They half bake everything they throw in unless it’s Russia you know cause Russia suffers soooo much according to the devs that they needed another pantsir. But the spyder is still fighting for the correct radar capabilities 9 months later. I’m even watching a lot of the main war thunder content creators are starting to revolt about how Russia is beginning to become a problem in the game. Example A - https://youtu.be/sWPdf9CaA6k?si=rrOt1RHKVMWrxhpQ
I guess all we can do is watch gaijin burn their player base and queue times cause everyone will be playing Russia on Russia, cause I’m sure nato mains are getting sick of how nato would outclass Russia completely in every category but it’s the other way around in the game because it would be to game breaking for nato to have their capabilities but Russia isn’t even in that equation

Frankly have no idea how they think that a 4 panel ESA radar is somehow scanning like a mechanical radar.
Each panel should be handling it’s aspect.
