havent played ground since the update so I have no big opinion on ground, this was mainly focused on air which was stated…
well its a a game with many modes
and you said ground
see above
my point is for all modes… because in ground it might actually make the CVAS issue more prevelant by forcing bad players to learn a better and arguabley just as easy way to do CAS and in air it is just an intrusive bothersome mechanic that adds no real gameplay value and makes playing bombers even more sad

I only made my original post about air, and didnt touch the ground mode with actual reasonings why it should be removed. I didnt want to touch this topic for ground bc I didnt have the knowledge to touch it. I only used this arguement bc it was probably the reason why it got added.

I mean weird is way too polite.
From my pov gaijin’s intern adding this function to prop BRs needs to play the game.
I played a match on the Stalingrad map a few hours ago:
Gaijin Entertainment - Single Sign On
My team had 4 airspawn bombers (2 x B7A2, 1 x H8K, 1 x Thai SB2C) and all received an airfield spawn… Whilst on the enemy team 2 Pe-2, one BTD and one P-61 were granted with an airspawn. Their B-25 was also forced to get an airfield spawn.
Thank to missing bombers at altitude the airspawn P-61 scored 6 (!!!) fighter kills by murdering my rookie team and my last team mate scored multiple hits on a La-5 without getting a kill.
Basically the whole match was doomed - you lose by tickets if you don’t kill the 3 non-respawning bases and the enforced airfield spawn made this impossible. And ofc - i had also a poor match as i rammed a P-63 and killed my prop very late game 😎

yep its annoing at best for air battles. I more or less created the discussion after not getting my airspawn after setting it before to airspawn in bad weather.
Gaijin thinks this is bad weather, despite it being perfectly fine for flying. I’ve flown an actual plane in weather like this, and not had any issues. (makes me wonder if Gaijin knows that flying under overcast clouds is less turbulent than a perfectly clear day)
I don’t see any reason for a feature like this to exist.
they probably didnt think much on how to implement it and now its torturing pretty much every air rb player who plays sth with an airspawn.
After taking off from the AF in various IL-28 models too many times in a row. This mechanic needs to be scrapped completely from air modes. For some bombers bad weather is used to keep them alive to the base. Not you don’t have that option!

It shouldn’t auto select the airfield. It should ASK me if I want to spawn on the runway.
Just came back after a little break. I decided to play a prop bomber and got the “new mandatory bad weather airfield spawn” mechanic. Who at Gaijin thought this was a great thing? You are a bomber, are slow, are already food for most other class, and now you can’t even have an air spawn? Really?
Just remove the class already if you’re going to introduce mechanics that further disadvantages that class. And please don’t tell me “it’s for realism”. This is a game and realism is used when Gaijin thinks it makes sense.
At least make the Airfield or Air Spawn an option…not mandatory.
it is optional, it just defaults to airfield. When you select the aircraft, you have the option

It is still an option, it’s just not the default.

Thank you. I’ll look into that for sure next time.
That’s not right in some sense.
Maps with bad weather the game sets the default spawn to AF. But you can choose the airspawn manually. The players spawning at AF with an airspawn plane only forgot to change it. And this is the main problem.
If you check the scoreboard, maybe you see airspawn planes in your team, and you think, ok, that’s a worthy battle, but the second you spawn you see them all spawning at AF and you realize, this battle is over at start.

This feature sucks in air battles, extremely frustrating. Hell in ground, I’d rather take off in the air while in bad weather so I can start with speed and energy.

It pobly the stupidest idea ever. If ur tryna grind ur tech tree by base bombing in kinda high brs (above 10+) air rb matches. There are fast planes that u cant out run unless u spawn on runways. Since we all spawn on the air and those planes are already in max speed u basically cant reach any base before them and cant bomb anthing. This shit so annoying.
Additionally GJN added an option to ignore this “feature”.
the airspawn is only at br 10.7+. and as said you can turn this feature off.
