Does anyone miss ground start in air rb in higher brs

is it just me or does anyone else miss taking off from the airfield (at higher brs 10.0+) at the start of the match and viewing your teammates vehicles and doing random things liking crashing into each other?

I do, not that I play that BR much since all I have the squadron sea harrier. But that is one of my favorite parts of the match where everyone can comment on the one 1.0 prop someone brought, or the chaos that can happen.

Not really. Ground start pushed everyone too close together and benefited high TWR aircraft the most.
Stuff like Tornadoes have an obvious benefit from everyone having air spawn.
And P-47 for props.

Not really.

Unlike at lower BRs where it actually has an effect on the progress of the match, at higher BRs it just doesnt. In something like the Tornado its a nice thing to balance it against other jets that can take off much faster and in the Typhoon it just saves a minute or so of climbing.

it also has the advantage of both teams being waaaaaay more spread out, which actually makes the matches more interesting imo.

If I want to take off, I play Air Sim not Air Arcade+

No.

And actually idk if its me, but Im seeing less teamkills with airspawn than ground spawn.

Makes no difference if they crash while takeoff, or ram each other out of the air at airspawn.

But with all the bugs in game, I prefer takeoff. So I have the chance to adjust fuel or loadout after the game decided to change it on it’s own.

My bet is GJN implemented so many airspawns, so less people notice how they ruined takeoff mechanic after years.

i have gone from being shot on the ground to having a missile fired up my buttocks so no difference to me

its isnt about balancing its more of a fun way to start the game tws wont matter much if you are spread out or close together tho
