Spawnkillers are NOT an issue in Air Arcade !
If you cannot deal with them then you’re just bad. Lear to play or change game mode (you can try Air RB).

Funny you say that because you got the worst stats I have ever seen for a VERY long time … and I’ve seen a lot ! ^^
They’re not cheating, they play the game.
A good player kills, a bad one dies !
You’re just a groundpounder and even with that you’re bad at it.

You don’t have even ONE vehicule with positive ratio. Come on …

And as I said, stats aren’t everything. For example, the stats you’re reading are years out of date.
The server doesn’t even have any of my better replays, including any of the matches I played today. I know this to be a fact, since I checked while in-game today.
I haven’t played a match in at least five years. Today was my first time back in the game since before the big boycott was a thing back in 2019. My last replay on the server was several years before that.
You’re a terrible player.
Why can’t u admit it ?
Not my fault, not your team mates fault nor the spawncampers fault.
Fact is your gameplay style is : spawn, run, bombs, dy … repeat again & again.
I do not care you’re a bad player but don’t blame spawncampers for that !
I didn’t think people still played arcade at that BR.
Yep, people still play it and for various reasons.
Some of us like an easier challenge like not being killed by our own planes when we go the slightest over-G. Some of us like the easier control scheme - we don’t have anything more than a mouse and keyboard. Some like both reasons. Some have other reasons beyond the two I listed.
Some of us - like myself - would prefer a pure PvE mode like Assault Arcade but where you can actually use your boosters and gain full RP and SL. But unless and until War Thunder turns into an Ace Combat game, Arcade is the closest we’re going to get.

Yeah, if you want your wings ripped off by the slightest over-G, or want to be forced to play with complicated control schemes and/or have an actual throttle and stick.
“Dumbcade” ain’t dumb if you play smart.

I can’t admit it because I don’t want to lie. That’s what any admission of low skill from me, would actually be.
My gameplay style is “spawn, run, attempt to dogfight, bombs, attempt to dogfight while waiting for more bombs, die, repeat.”
Occasionally I get lucky and win, usually against a low-to-no-skill spawncamper who has dared to take me on in a proper dogfight. Like the one I challenged you to earlier.
I’m not a bad player, and I can and do win on occasion. Usually against pathetic little no-skill campers like you.
EDIT: Also, I just checked your profile - it’s hidden. Hello little troll, you had me going there for a little while. Enjoy your block.
A minimum of 2 spawn points for each side, regardless of map, mode or vehicle type. And remove the enemy spawn point markers from the mini map. Spawn campers could still do their thing, it would just not be as easy(and therefore less “profitable”) merely causing them to do some “recon” for the positions and allowing teams some option on when & where to respawn. They have moved a good many spawn points farther & farther back, but all this does is turn Arcade into the endless flight syndrome that RB is, and inhibits scoring at the same time . . this is not a solution at all really. The spawning system has been in need of an overhaul for many years, but seems to be neglected much more than many other aspects of the game. Even tho a great many players have complained about the inadequacies of our spawning system for just as many years . . . . pity that

@Kerry_Freeman To play in Air RB, you can do it with mouse and keyboard, it is exactly the same controls (nothing less nothing more) than in arcade.
What you speak about with stick and throttle is simulator battle, it is totally different.
also most of plane never or nearly never reach their G-limit if you know flying, you often just need to take care to your fuel, ammo and speed. in Air RB you can also continu to fly with a damaged aircraft.
In this mode you win also more RP and SL than in arcade battle and for wager each kill count as double (so less kill to do to validate you wager mission) and during event it is the same, Realist battle (air or ground) count more than arcade
I don’t think that will help either, spawncampers will spawncamp no matter what unless they’re punished. Harshly, to the point where they depart the game entirely.

So you can do the same things in AB as RB, but AB is easier. Got it.
not really, and in ARB compare to AAB their no spawncamper, they never be able to go their and even trying to kill some on the airfield is pretty dangerous, most of the time the ground air defense kick your ass first
well, that’s a bit of overkill me thinks. Gaijin is not in the business of “running off customers” . . . this is not a good thing for any business. Perception of what is “fair, balanced & sportsmanlike” vary widely across the globe. In many cultures “rules” are merely obstacles to overcome to win. Playing on a “level playing field” is not desirable, seeking any/all advantage is the norm . . it’s not a matter or who is “right or wrong”. It’s a game, and everyone plays/approaches it differently . . . this is the way. I’m not going to give you some glib advice like “just dive”(even tho that does work pretty well . . except if you are in a bomber) as I do not have as much problems with spawn campers as some, but really, it is not as bad as it used to be in AB Air matches.
Another thing they could do that might help is to increase the speed at which planes spawn in . . . most are going well below their top speed when they enter the game . . . a little more speed would make it just a bit more “fair” imho . . . but again that’s just me.
Try not to take or make things “personal”, especially on the internet. And don’t let it make you mad/angry . . stuff happens. Sad thing is, most of them are actually good pilots/players, they just choose to “cheese” the game and take the easy way by exploiting/abusing flaws/faults in the system that go ignored. Until Gaijin becomes “proactive” in the matter(which doesn’t seem likely) just have to make do and do your best, in all situations . . but I do understand your frustrations, as it seems like something so easy to see is wrong/needs work, but gets ignored . . . ඞ
Mate, I tried to stick to helpful generalities, but since you insist… After more than one thousand battles, you have a 1 to 10 kill ratio, a 0.06 air kill index (which basically puts you in the worst 1-2% of pilots), and a 47% win rate which means that you actually reduce your team’s chance of victory when you join.
Have you considered the fact that maybe you actually have a skill or tactics issue? I would be glad to provide tutorials, ring me in WT when I’m connected.

These are the sorts of “players” who should not be allowed on servers with those who think that fairness is important.
If Gaijin is unwilling to run them out of the game like they should, then they should at least send them to their own spawncamper-exclusive server and permanently exclude them from all normal servers and all eSports events.
Bro. You don’t get to be a spawncamper if you haven’t learned to handle the best pilots - those who climb at game start.
While you may believe that you can handle anyone in midfield, there’s very strong evidence in your record that that’s not the case.
Again, feel free to contact me in-game for a remedial tutorial. It’s never too late to learn the basics of Arcade Air Combat.

Been there, handled them. They usually can’t handle a single missile to the face. Also, if merely climbing at game start makes you one of the best pilots, then I’m one of the best pilots. I always climb at game start.
The one thing the game desperately needs more of is tutorials, so I agree there.
However as I stated to your trolling partner sh4d0w… (Clarification: You are not trolling, they are.)

I retained all my skills from 2019, but they are a little rusty. I still manage to shoot down a plane or two, usually those who aren’t paying attention. Like all spawncampers.
One solution Gaijin could do, is to move the spawn point if an enemy player enters within X km of it.
