Airstrip spawns

Anyone else think its really bizarre having “bad weather” runway spawns.
In my experience the weather doesn’t look bad at all when it puts you on the runway and on top of that you can just select airspawn anyways in ground battle cases at least. So its only changed the default spawn.

Seems like a really poorly thought out change that only results in frustration if you’ve spawned in without checking which location you’re spawning at.

Just make sure air point is selected then delete this post.

No.
Its a poorly thought out change that I find to be quite pointless. If anything should be deleted its your reply.

Your probably one of the people who cope about crashing with how low the clouds are…

Just throwing anything out hoping it sticks? Sounds like you speak from experience though.

This new change shows how dumb most of the playbase is. Just change the spawn by hand.

The only dumb people here are those who say stuff like this. The change in question adds NOTHING to gameplay at all. it doesn’t force players to start on the airfield because of “bad weather” and if you change it to the airspawn there is no drawback for doing so. You don’t start further from the battlefield, the weather isn’t visibly bad and flying in this “bad weather” has no negative effects on flight performance. All it does is catch people out because they didnt press tab to check the weather conditions before spawning.
If there was actual bad weather then maybe I’d agree but there isn’t most of the time.

Clouds generate randomly how do you expect them to know if the weather is good or not. Its way better for the game to assume that the cloudy match has clouds covering the airspawn.

The amount of people crying bc of dying to air spawn clouds were insane. Now they fixed it and yall are crying about something else. Just set it to air spawn by hand.

You’re missing the point by miles. When it claims “bad weather” and spawns you on the ground the visuals of the atmosphere around you aren’t “bad weather” it looks a bit overcast at best but claims its “thunderclouds” etc…
While that maybe have been an issue in top tier battles the majority of the game isn’t that. NEVER have i crashed into the ground when playing from an airspawn. Maybe that’s because I’m not dense and pay attention when I’m flying.
Bottom line is if spawning in the air is still an option why change the default to the runway. You say because people were crying because they died to air spawn clouds, THOSE people should’ve been selecting the runway spawn which was always an option before this update.

you are overestimating the abilities of cas players. It is what it is tho this update is subpar anyway.

Clearly. Fully agree with you there. From cluttering the UI for aircraft, stuttering ground vehicles as they move, to A2A missiles exploding with confetti. This might be my least liked update.

I have been playing since the 1.95 update. The one before they added the f104s. Never ever have I seen a worse update. About 40% of the new vehicles are prems. ALOT of bugs. Like cyberpunk levels of bugs. Not to mention the horrible desync. I haven’t been putting on actual hours ever since the update. I just log in play a match to see what broke this time and leave.

Truth to that. I haven’t got as much of a game record as you but I’ve never really had an issue with updates until now. Sure there have been bugs in others but for many gamemodes/ BRs this update has made them unplayable, like the a2a missiles thing. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the update that added the munitions selector action bar, which for many aircraft was the only thing there. But this takes the cake. You’re right about the premiums though pretty sure a guy on tiktok ran the numbers and it was like 60% of them are premiums.
