I understand not wanting airfield campers, but ending the game because the last player is re-arming surely cannot be intended behaviour?
Was 1v1 after the other guy flew into a tree trying to kill me on the airfield, as air defense doesn’t do anything of course, and then the game ended because the enemy team had no active players, which really just means him landing on the airfield to re-arm.
I actually noticed something like this the other day playing my F-4EJ. The enemy F-111 was the last on their team, landed to re-arm and for that slight second of him despawning and spawning back at the end of the runway it said “No players left on the enemy team” and the ticket counter took a massive chunk.
Luckily they still had enough tickets that it didn’t end the game and we were able to have a fight but I can only imagine there would be some games that would end over that little error.
He would have won if the game just lasted 5 seconds more, also flying a heavier plane with bombs prevented him from taking of fast enough I guess, but it’s only 10 seconds after respawning so that’s nearly impossible.
Rearming takes tickets away from your team as I’ve found out. I don’t know how long this has been a thing, but I’ve had at least 5 games end this way in my past 350.
I’m fairly sure if you are on the AF for 30 seconds Gaijin counts you as inactive, I think they mentioned it in a devblog at some point.
That seems like genius design.
Even worse, I once lost a game that was down to a 1vs1, the other was back in tickets and sat on the airfield, I landed and rearmed, and wanted to change loadouts from rockets to bombs to take out pillboxes… but that switch drained my convenient ticket advantage to nothing and I lost.
