Since the new update came out, I met two maps where I spawned in the air with a fighter.
Please, give back the airfield spawning for fighters! If somebody want air start, he/she can play Arcade, but don’t ruin realistic battles, and don’t make it as another arcade gamemode.
Very sure you can select the airfield spawning for some maps.
No, you can select only airpoint.
So, what do you think is the difference between the airport and the airfield? ;)
Not “airport”, airpoint. I wrote airpoint.
Ok, sorry my bad. I read it multiple times and saw “airport” ;)
But what map was it?
I just got a 10.7 match with the airfield and air spawn as well.
This may depend on the weather. If the weather is bad, the airport is your option.
There is one at lower rank that has air spawn, but it comes very rarely. Don’t see the problem here.
WW2 is literally 99% airfield takeoff.
I got airpoint spawn with Ki-100-II on Stalingrad map, a sand map ( I don’t know it’s correct name ), and in frontline gamemodes.
And it doesn’t depend on weather.
Before update you started the battle on the airfield with a fighter even when the weather was bad.
Tomorrow I will post a printscreen about this problem if I will meet such maps. But it’s time to go to sleep here.
Bye!
apparently they made it airspawn default because people were having trouble taking off lmfao
Yeah I got quite a lot of airspawns since the update, it kinda ruins it for everyone imo since it breaks the experience, spawn is dangerous (planes are very unstable at spawn for some reason and they spawn quite close to each other) and attackers/bombers lose most of their advantage
In top tier, you’re never ever gonna meet airfield spawn anymore.
Obviously
then add that takeoff and landing tutorial required to enter Sim battles to realistic battles, ofc with realitic controls.
Or maybe the Dev team wants more fast matches + more players downed early (lower chance to have racked up some kills) = more SL drained in repairs.
strike planes with their already limited window to attack before getting jumped are now even more vulnerable, and bombers? they lose those precious seconds where enemy fighters are picking up speed to even START climbing.
present on RANK I btw
This mode “realistic battles” has nothing to do with reality, is just an arcade mode whidout markers
Air spawn and airfield spawn are for the most part equally realistic.
So I’m unsure why arcade is mentioned.
Gaijin seems to want to put more airfields around maps, which at the end of the day means air spawns.
Air spawns are also the only real way to spread people apart on spawn.
no?
multiple runways for each airfield, multiple airfields (like in sb ec), or just by themselfs, starting at hangars is also an option (the chaos would be fun, until people learn how to taxi^^)
Or just less people per match.
There are more options
Multiple airfields would require a brand new spawning system that forces players onto a random airfield with no choices. Forcing players away from squad mates is less harsh when everyone spawns in the air than on runways.
Less people per match is an competitive arcade feature, which of course I oppose. I don’t play low-player count games for a reason. I’m not out their to be an e-Sports pro.
