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.
