in its current state ground arcade limits you to 3 respawn and its an issue
since you only 3 vehicles can be used per match regardless of lineup size it mean there is no point of making a full lineup as currently player effectively really only need 3 vehicles
so adding another vehicle to your lineup is pretty much pointless as there is little to no point of adding the additional vehicle if you cant use it in a match
it means CAS death are way worse like if you are on your last respawn and a plane bombs you then your stuck spectating for the rest of the match now this would not be a large issue if you could respawn if you had backup or another vehicle
a similar issue occurs when a vehicle is flipped over with 3 respawns these incidents can end a match early for the player despite having more vehicles available
a fix to this is make it so player can use their entire lineup like what is done in air arcade yes it could make matches last longer but longer matches for the player being able to use their entire lineup would be better
3 spawns for the ground vehicles is and always has been the standard.
Making a line up with more than 3 vehicles is fine, but does not mean you
will get to use them all. Not how it works.
Part of a player’s skill in building presets and making line ups is getting proper
BRs that work well together, having different vehicles in the line up that allow
you to do different things, use different vehicles as you watch the battle unfold.
Flank, go for objectives, defend against spawn campers and yes, even against planes.
With a good and properly varied line up, you can help your team more and improve
your scoring opportunities as well. And working more slots also has the side benefit
of improving more crew skills if needed.
Instead of lamenting what seems to be a limitation, maybe learn to work it to your
benefit while playing the game you are given. More variety & options are a good thing.
You don’t know what map you will get, and some vehicles are better on different maps. So having more than 3 in your lineup gives greater flexibility.
Also having more than 3 in your lineup lets you cover all the bases.
Light + Medium + heavy + spaa + spg. I always go into battle with 5 in lineup as I don’t know in advance what I’ll need. The spaa is there if there seems to be waves of CAS. But if you don’t need it, or need to cap, you will have better choices for that.
