Honestly it was one of the best parts of the game, ppl used to troll, have fun, it was just so much better than this boring spawn
Especially in top tier, taking off with affer burner was just so much beautiful and nostalgic
Pls bring it back
Thank you
Only if they add multiple airfields. The entire team taking off from a single point sucks. It heavily compresses already very compressed maps unnecessarily and 16 players taking off from 1 point just looks wrong.
So only if they add 2-3 AFs and have the teams spawn evenly among them.
This is a bad thing. This is a reason to add Airspawn not remove it
And being teleported in the air at 1000kmh magically in the air looks wrong too
How does this make a difference if people can tk after spawning in the air?
How I imagine it is that the aircraft took off elsewhere and traveled to this combat area. (A2A refueled just before which is why they have a lot of fuel) Which if anything, is a lot more realistic, as it would be exceedingly rare for modern aircraft to be scrambled on such short notice and would be more likely operating from an airfield further away. (Op Shader for example the Typhoons were operating from RAF Akrotiri and travling 200+km before even entering the combat zones)
Air Realistic is also quite representative of something like Red Flag, and in that, the aircraft start airbourne in their team’s “Sanctuary” and are restricted in the airspace they can fight in. They dont all take off and then start dogfighting each other immediately
Happens a lot less if everyone is spaced out properly, rather than all being in a postage stamp
It’s quite ironic. The ARB players demand that ARB play like Air Arcade (air spawns, no more ability to TK, etc.), but will refuse to play Arcade. It reminds me of the “granny shot” in basketball. Where it is the most accurate way of shooting a ball, but no one will use it because, “it makes me look weird”
Because arcade is kind of goofy, it’s where old people and small kids play, it’s basically the tutorial zone.
The only people who advocate for air spawns are unprincipled wallet warriors
SOME ARB players, and by ARB players I mean the dudes who are in a rush into top tier or better CAS.
They don’t care if they burn the mode down. They saw ARB has better rewards and went for it.
To fix the trolling, just disable collision between teammates the first few like 1-2 minutes from the game start. Well enough time to take off and it will be enabled by the time the fighting starts.
The most cringe reason tbh
Still ARB players nonetheless. I hate how English works, but that’s how life goes. Not ALL ARB players advocated for it, but ARB players still advocated. It’s a stupid system, but hey, you had some weirdos in the forums at the time that were defending it, saying, “well the maps are 81km apart, and realistically, people are in the sky slinging their slayers at that range, so Gaijin should let us spam our missiles when we spawn,” and unfortunately Gaijin listened. While ensuring no consistent missile elims beyond like 20km. (I know, I know, some people have gotten 40km elims, but I’m saying for the general population, 15-18km seems to be the “long range” elim zone).
I mean this game is about having some fun a little troll won’t ruin the game
It does if you are the one taking off and a teammate forces you to crash giving you then the max duration crew lock out and not recognising it as a teamkill
That isnt fun.
Well it kinda does when you’ve waited in the queue for multiple minutes (I know, I am doing Gaijin’s “buh muh queue times!”) and then when you get into a match, some d… person knocks into your plane and you get TK’d. However, Air spawns is worse, I mean, how many times do I need to spawn inside another plane before Gaijin fixes it?
You need to learn to take a joke, it’s just a tk
It’s not gonna happen every single match
Maybe 1 in 30 matches
As I said before it’s not going to happen every time and you can take of safely, just wait 5 seconds and then start taking off or just use ur flaps to get up fast or u can stick to the ground a bit more gain speed and then take off
These are just some simple ways u can avoid crashing into people
Yes. Thank you, I am well aware of how to take off. Air Sim happens to be one of my more common gamemodes to play, and taking off in that is a doddle. But that doesnt really help much when a teammate deliberately rams into you “for a joke”
Nor do I think I should be forced to sit on the runway AFK just to prevent teammates from doing that.
Netiher is “fun” for me.
??? What I said has nothing to do with what you said???
btw biggest reason to add runway spawns to ARB is simply balance, these airspawns eat away at the airspawns already given to interceptors, air defense fighters, strike aircraft, hydroplanes, bombers and heavy bombers.
Those 20-30ish seconds of takeoff are worth like gold to them
I’m not saying getting rammed is fun I’m saying taking off from ground is much more fun than air spawn, while yeah ur right it got some down sides like getting rammed
Ur right I thought u mean ppl who adovacate for ground spawns are wallet warriors
My bad
