Why does the F-111 get a subsonic spawn speed while many other planes - including the one below it in the tech tree, the F-105D - get a supersonic spawn? I find this nonsense. There’s no justification for it.
The F-111’s main advantage is, or rather WAS, the speed, and now that’s been taken away. It’s not fair. On top of that, it ends up being worse than many aircraft with a lower BR.
It used to spawn at supersonic speeds and players who greedily loaded the fixed outer pylons up with bombs complained about having their wings fall off the instant they spawned because of the speed.
Because it has to spawn below its wing sweep 0 rip speed, especially the F-111A that can have its wing sweep locked.
As I guessed and 2 guys above me said, if you load too much stuff on f111 and spawn with supersonic speed, your wings will fall off.
Imo, devs could adjust start speeds based on your current loadout so if you carry full bomb load you dont explode instantly and if you have light loadout you can fly faster and use your main feature “from the box”.
Oh, thanks - that explains it. Still, some extra starting altitude or distance would help make it feel fairer.
Poor indi dev team gaijin can’t figure out how to split the airspawn speed based on wing sweep so they go for the one that won’t rip your wings.
The whole air spawn introduction felt rushed to me. IMO, it was clearly meant to favor late tier premiums, and as a result, some regular planes fell through the cracks.
