I can only comfort myself by saying this now XD
Hope next “one vehicle” trailer will be about su15 or mig 25 and medium range ussr missiles.
I heard the A very clearly enunciated perfectly.
@Zucc_Boi
Spyder would be 0.3 - 1.0 BR higher than Pantsir. I did the research on the missile platform, it is even superior to TOR-M1, the current best SPAA in WT. [ITO-90M and Pantsir were fixed since this post.]
@FreeDivine
Different teams, and they do balancing & bug fixing constantly. Imagine complaining about their weekly or sometimes daily bug fix updates.
You’re a bit whiney tbh!

9M would probably be what 9L was ingame before getting nerfed to the ground.
When will it be live?
Hi, there’s no set release date. Whenever a dev server and the full release are ready, we will announce this on the forums and on our website respectively. Soon™
show show way
AFV = Armored Fighting Vehicle. This is a term that encompasses every combat vehicle with some armor including MBTs, APCs, IFVs, CEVs and support vehicles.
There isn’t a single vehicle with Arena that could be added to the game because the Arena system was never at a usable state. It was in development for longer than the median age of WT players and despite Russia being in an open state of conflict for the last decade, not a single Russian APS-equipped vehicle was ever used in combat.
Correction: A unique Drozd-2 equipped T-80UM-2 was deployed to Ukraine in 2022 and was promptly destroyed. None knows whether its Drozd system was usable. The original Drozd used on T-55 tanks was deployed and used, but at the BR a T-80UM-2 would sit, it’d be useless due to its characteristics.
I could go deeper into this but the point is it’s vaporware, and if Gaijin adds this then they might as well add other fantasy vehicles like the E-100, E-50, Coelian, Tiger 2 105mm etc.

Doesn’t matter. I’d rather Spyder not being in game at all but Gaijin decided to take SPAA one step above so they now have to add all nations’ modern SPAA, and for Israel this includes the Spyder.
It also doesn’t have to be above in BR but I’d be okay with it being an 11.7 vehicle or 11.3.
Again, if Gaijin is against this, they could simply remove the Pantsir and compensate all non-USSR players for putting up with this.

Is the Spyder confirmed?
Honestly if they add the R-73 to the SMT and not the 9.12/9.13, I am going to uninstall.
its likely coming either dec update or first 2024 update
Then the other mig29s would just get uptiered higher though
Lol no, Gaijin would never give Israel or another minor nation something that’s actually better than a Soviet counterpart.
China had the tor-m1 for an update before the pantsir, and the flarakrad, and ito-90m were better than the tunguska for a while
Not all must be equal, but the sum of all things is easier to balance and can be made pretty near equal.
A complete lineup of any nation should include several MBTs, an SPAA, a light tank or IFV, a helicopter, and another CAS aircraft. If one nation has an advantage in SPAA, it’s possible to balance the other with better CAS. But Gaijin doesn’t do that. Instead, Russia currently holds both the best SPAA, and the best CAS. Therefore a more powerful SPAA for other nations is warranted.
The Flarakarakrad and Ito-90M may be better than Tunguska, I don’t know. Haven’t played either. But it’s okay for the Tunguska to have lower missile performance since it has guns which allow it to double as a tank killer as well. Whatever the disparity was, the Tunguska still had very powerful missiles.
Gaijin could simply shadow buff the Tunguska like it usually does, but it instead chose the Pantsir. In doing so, they’ve opened the Pandora’s box. Now they have to add equivalents for other nations, which was already very difficult even before the Pantsir. They’ve forced themselves into a corner where if they wish to avoid having a shitty game, they have to give other nations SPAA that is, as history dictates, are more powerful than the Pantsir. And it’s fine, because I’m sure something like the Spyder is even weaker than Pantsir.
Why? Because the Pantsir has guns, which the Spyder lacks + both have similar range on their missiles but the Python 5s can be flared + Pantsir’s missiles hardly ever miss, and it has a larger quantity of missiles to begin with.
Removing Pantsir is dumb since it’s worse than TOR-M1.
Russia doesnt have the best cas in my opinion, the f14b is better than the mig27, and i see what you are saying and tbh if they didnt do the SAM changes the tunguska wouldve still been fine
