Add 30-Second Spawn Protection For Air RB

Game Discussion Realistic Battle
1

Team-Killing is still a major issue in Air RB. Every other game I play at any BR, there is usually 1 to 2 players that team-kill within the first 10 seconds of take-off at the start of the match.

This is extremely frustrating as it negatively effects the player being team-killed, but also negatively effects the entire team as that is one less player you have to win the battle.

I suggest adding a 30-second spawn protection for all players to combat the team-killing issue.
Team-killing is already disabled in Ground Battles and there are spawn protection timers implemented as well. This isn’t a foreign feature and I don’t see how it could negatively effect gameplay.

I believe this is the best way to combat/prevent team-killing without taking away the challenges and realism that friendly fire brings to Air RB.

Please let me know thoughts or have any points I may not have thought of.

I’ve only witnessed intentional teamkilling a single time in the few hundreds air rb games I’ve played… What br do you play?

1.0 - 10.0

I experience higher amounts in the 3.0 - 8.0 range.

It would help. Especially if expanded to also non-collision as well as no friendly fire damage.

That’s weird, I mostly play 7.7 and teamkills at takeoff are super rare… I would’ve expected more of them at bottom and top tiers, where most randoms are

Even if players don’t experience as much as I do, I don’t see any negative effects from the timer.
I only see it being a benefit for all.

For sure, especially since accidental kills also happen and I see some from time to time, no harm would be done by this feature. I’m just wondering why you see so much more tk than I do, perhaps regional difference

Could be…
I also play most of my Air RB battles on early mornings on the weekends, so who knows.

It’s implented anyway, GJN only has to expand the timer, bubble, whatsoever.

0 effects on pvp, 100 prevention on accidents. Good thing

That would be great in Ground RB air spawn aswell, it’s difficult since in low-mid tiers there is usually someone that takes a fighter to space climb and camp air spawn, and shoot people a few seconds after spawning, and in Toptier, where SPAAs lock someone immedietly after spawning and making them have to go on the defensive 2 seconds after spawning

Good point, I agree it would have a positive impact for Ground RB as well.
