A living body on your side is generally better then nobody when you are fighting someone.

Because it can give him more SP to respawn, right

You contribute not much by staying at the spawn unless you play spaa of course.
Theres a difference between being patient and pushing when possible and counter attacking when possible.
Blindly throwing yourself onto the flames, possibly netting a kill or two , respawning and repeating doesn’t actually help the team much.
I hate ODLing and 2 death leavers, but if I am patiently holding a line and pushing up bit by bit ill do more for the team with 7 kills 2 assists, cap and one death than the guy with 4 kills and an assist but 4 deaths.
Pushing or counter attacking depend on the map and how the situation your team is fighting. You need space to move around and by sticking around the spawn with op CAS flying around is not safe postion.
OP cas?
only OP cas is the very top echelon of the game.
Im sorry but no one is “camping the spawn” unless they are pushed right into it. Theres no good player that will sit in their spawn zone at all.
ULQ means that its not worth just throwing yourself against the wall, so even with 7 deaths you can contribute less to a team than a person with 1.
Sticking around the spawn, or a specific area for a period is a stratigical move? (if the maps moved outwith your spawn then ofc not but no one in their right mind will sit in spawn while their team moves on)
Sitting in your spawn when pressed by the enemy team allows you to see where people are pushing ,where fire is coming from, how many etc. then allows for an intelligently made counter attack.
Rushing into death is not contributing to the team.
I had a few games last night where i was 10:1 in the M1KVT, does that mean ive done nothing?
No, i had 5 assists and 10 kills with 3 caps.
i had done more than the next 3 people combined.
Yet they all had 3 and 4 deaths.
see the point?
Gaijin avoids anything that could be abused to grind at all costs, the game at this point is more of a gacha game for grown ass men that replaces anime girls with military vehicles than an actual game.
10 years of abuse has also turned the playerbase into creatures adapted to this enviroment. Teamwork is alien to us, and the extremely rare cases it does happen it some unicorn moment, that blows up on reddit with 20k upboats.
Stuff like this makes sense if players were working as a team to win and have fun, but this is very much a solo game and blue players are just to be used as meat shields, and worse of all are detrimental in many cases to our own goals which is simply to extract as much rp/sl out of a match as possible.
Game modes havent changed at all. And at this point if gaijin just gave everyone every vehicle in the game, it would lose a majority of the playerbase in a matter of months, because the gameplay itself and modes are just awful. Grind is what keeps people here, the dopamine rush of unlocking new stuff.
Besides WT my most played game in the thousands of hours is SQUAD. That game has absolutely 0 grind, and there is no differentiation between a 10k hour playet and a 1 hour player in any way shape or form not even a statistic to see, icons, ranks etc. Just expierence and skill. And it is by far one of the most teamwork oriented games to the point not having a mic is extremely frowned upon. And yet with nothing to gain, winning feels great, it feels like it was a team effort. Ive almost never cared a single iota about winning or losing a match in WT and the difference in rewards is like 20%? So even from a grind perspective it not that big of a deal.
Games can stand alone without any progression sysyems or grind or even player acknowledgement of time spent or achievements if the gameplay is actually good and fun.
Rewards for just participating in battles will never happen because the gsme is a skinner box at the core and players are animals that will abuse any avenue of low effort grind, and im sure gaijin wont implement anything like it because players will just afk for rewards and bots will take advantage of it and the gameplay becomes even worse than it already is because now you got players alt tabbed in spaa in spawn watching youtube passively gaining rp etc or whatever method they come up with to abuse particapatory rewards.

Huh your actually talking about contribution…Mate ive encountered you many times and I ask what exactly you contribute while bombing bases in game meta jets??? Is your post a joke or are you actually not aware ??? I will take any player that spawns in 5 times over you mate because at least he is obviously trying
no :( using fun lower tier stuff is the best, don’t ruin that.
BT-5 F32 has a permament place in EVERY roster.
As well as every amazing derp/artillery etc.
likewise many nations have gaps in AA and other stuff beyond 2.0 BR.
Like look at Japan’s AA gap rn.
but at least they trying, in comparison to the 1 death leavers
Japan mains getting punished for existing. (Also some Italy, france, and Isreal mains)
SPAAs are literally all the same until you get radar and missiles. Below 7.7, all SPAAs are equal
What about SPAAs?
That guy was saying to punish anyone bringing lower BR vehicles in lineups and I was talking about many minor nations not being able to make full lineups at the same BR, or even within a 1.0 bracket, meaning nations like japan at several BR ranges would get punished for simply existing
A SPAA is just a mobile machine gun. You can use the 1.0 at every BR, unlike tanks

I get what the OP is trying to say, but we shouldn’t be rewarding RESPAWNING so much as rewarding people who stay in the match until the end instead of just one death leaving.
Hence why you see clowns in su25s getting shredded by ostwinds.
(Im the clown)

The reason 6.0 is one of my favourite BRs to play is because funny proxy shell go boom. With SPAAs, everyone can see your trail. With funny shell, you exist one minute and are gone the next.

Not gonna lie, quite enjoy the sort of 4.0 - 6-0 area SPAA for china, had some fun with those little things.
Viet Gun is quite fun as an auto-cannon. Only bad thing is not everyone uses light tanks.
