F84F airspawns

Why does the American F-84F Thunderstreak at 8.3 in rank 5 get an air spawn, yet other nations like Germany, France and Italy etc get spawned on the ground ?

Yes i know, the other nations F-84F’s are in rank 6 instead of rank 5. But it is quite tedious that other nations spawn on the ground and by the time theyre in the battlefield, they get shot down alot of the time.
Like is it that hard to just make other F-84F’s get airspawns as well, even if theyre in rank 6 ?

Or does WarThunder have a good reasoning for it ? (probably not, its 100% just because theyre in rnak 6. yet theyre exactly the same as the rest.)

None of them need airspawn

american mains need more handholding I guess,

but yeah the american one should have its airspawn removed for parity with the rest

Another SAAB-105 appears in the air.

I tried to grind the german one to use as CAS for my GRB lineup and let me tell you, even with airspawn they would be bad.

Gaijin doesn’t need good reasons for anything. Not even reasons. They just call it balancing and that’s it.

Learn to fly f84f. Not f84g.

Gaijin doesn’t like to take time to make nuanced changes, a number of attackers where having their air spawns abused to take air to air load outs and gank fighters that where still low and slow after takeoff, rather than take the time to go through and address the issue by looking at each attacker individually and adjust the spawns based on the individual planes air to air performance they just decided the A-4 was being used for it the most so all attackers its rank and above get ground spawns.
So now you have attackers below rank 6 that still do it (saab105 & FW-190 F-8 for example) and others above that cant even reach the battlefield before the game ends (like the A-10)

Other nations’ F84F without airspawn are completely disasters. Actually there’s no reason for me to play it at air rb because it basically can’t eat a base.

To make things fair, we can:

  • ask airspawns for other nations’ (x)
  • ask removing the US one’s (✔)

This makes more players notice the mistake.

Uhh yeah, they do. F-84F even WITH the airspawn is a garbage jet. The F-84Fs that groundspawn are some of the worst aircraft in game BR for BR.

This has been an issue for over a year as far as I remember, and they haven’t addressed it. So they aren’t going to.

shut up they dont need to know about that hidden gem

This treasure keeps getting shot down by my B-57.

It should have its airspawn removed and all F84Fs should drop down to 7.7 where they belong. They may be fast but man they cannot dogfight for the life of them, they’re fast bricks that can be outrun by other fighters sometimes. Quite sad state of them really, if they drop down the others ranks should as well if you ask me.

I loaded a match with the US F-84F just to see if it actually still had the airspawn as I didn’t remember.

It does, surprisingly, though it’s not much help to the aircraft since it’s such an abysmal platform compared to the F-84B/G.

F-84F across the board should either have no airspawn or have airspawn and just have them set a distance back from the airfield. Also, a BR reduction is warranted either way.

It should keep its airspawn. This plane is fool proof tool to get ‘destroy the base’ tasks done.
