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.)
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 yesterday. 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.
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.
Mate, you need to learn to use the search function in the Friends menu. There’s only one sh4d0w, but he’s part of the =C4F= squadron so his name appears as =C4F= sh4d0w.
Maybe go check his stats again?

You’d have to handle that right or campers could abuse the mechanism to force the enemy spawn point further and further away from the battle.

Mate. A number of your most-played planes weren’t introduced before 2020.
Also, are you trying to murder Socrates again? Just because all good pilots climb doesn’t imply that all climbers are good pilots - Logical Fallacy 101.

Hey, you were the one who implied it.
And just because a number of my most-played planes weren’t introduced before that time, doesn’t mean I wasn’t active before that time.
Point is I was playing up until just before the big boycott a couple of years ago. Might not have been as long as I thought - my sense of time is more than a little screwy these days.
It just means my grind got harder in 2020.
I gotta agree with ya here Bungler. I still think my solution is best.
Judge not, before you judge yourself.

Top tier this issue getting worse, just launch aim120 and Mica to the spawnpoint…
Which is why I made my suggestion.
OK, what’s your name in the game?
Where do you find said stats?
I play ARB at 9-11BR and there’s someone trying to spawn kill people on the airfield in 40-50% of the games I play, even with airfield defenses!
It is actually more common than I see spawn camping in AAB at lower BR’s.
