Bad Weather Mechanic is trash.

Pretty much, I cant even think of a single scenario where spawning on the airfield is preferable to airspawn in arb or grb.

Someone is gonna have to educate me on this.

There’s a few of the ground maps where the airspawn is in the clouds about 1km behind a mountain.

And the average player being about as intelligent as an infant chimp a lot of people just smack straight into said mountain. But I agree that it is mostly just annoying and most of the “bad weather” isn’t actually bad enough to prevent visibility

When I see the bad weather spawn auto populated but it is 1/10 overcast with 10+ nm visibility I have to laugh at whomever at Gaijin thinks that it is “Foul Weather”. If it were actual IMC with 3/4 mile visibility then sure, but a single cloud in the sky and it wants you on the airfield

LOL did not expect a Batwing in here of all places ^^

but yhea its a dogshit mechanic that has not a single usecase.
The mountain one doesnt count because
-its bad map design, no matter how you put it
-even if it wasnt, which it is, this concerns maybe 2 maps out of 40

I wanna hear a proper usecase that isnt focused on a minute detail or a really niche edgecase scenario, that should never facilitate stupid inconveniences like that in the first place.

Slightly overcast skies is considered “Bad Weather”, whoever thought of this does not play the game. It should only default to the airfield on fog or stormy weather.
