Because having to switch back to airspawn is annoying and inconvenient, and no1 asked for this dumb feature in the first place
its no different to selecting which ground spawn to use before you get into a tank, or which helipad to spawn on.
stupid thing to complain about, especially when its a direct response to complaints about people crashing into crap from spawning inside a cloud
Selecting a tank spawn is different. Everyone has a preferred tank spawn, but everyone prefers airspawn.
There’s only maybe one or two maps where crashing into mountains due to clouds is an issue. The solution is to move the airspawn on those maps, not make a dumb annoying feature that hurts gameplay on every other map that isn’t those two
I don’t. i prefer ground spawn so I’m hidden from AA straight away. Im also a low altitude no matter what mindset player so it was always going to be the case.

Why, this isnt irl
previously: die in tank to CAS, spawn CAP, kill CAS
now: die in tank to CAS, spawn CAP, takeoff, gain speed, gain alt (possibly), fly to CAS oh wait he already RTB’d because it doesn’t take 3 minutes to lose your bombs.
They lowered the toptier airspawn altitude. Even if someone for some reason still wants to spawn at the airfield, there should just be an ingame setting to choose a default.
It shouldn’t sometimes default to airfield and sometimes default to airspawn
they also moved it further back making an airfield spawn more viable for my top tier aircraft of choice.
give it a while and people will be used to being half aware of what they are spawning and where, player incompetency and old habits are the problem, not the spawn location
False. I’ve made it abundantly clear I prefer the airfield spawn.

At what BRs?
IRL theyd be 40k or higher for air superiority
All.

any reason? i dont really see why youd give up the much faster time to battlefield and speed+alt advantage at BR without good missile SPAA

That’s the Gr9

It would be purely a cockpit modeling thing. But from a gameplay perspective, nothing would change
idk about him but for top tier I use the harrier 2. I take off and get to altitude for maverick launches so fast that I negate the lack of airspawn and reduce my time flying to the airfield for resupply.

you already know that GR9a is my second most wanted vehicle in game.
thats valid but a pretty specific case at a BR with strong missile SPAA. GNDMPanzer said he prefers AF spawn at all BR’s which is what confuses me

depending on the map i prefer it across the board of BRs too. some maps have really good airspawns and trash airfields. Id usually favour the airfield

Because I get to have more control over my altitude and approach vectors, not to mention that I will have a higher probability of catching any other enemy aircraft in the AO with my Mk 1 Eyeballs provided they aren’t camping in space.
Though some maps have very small and outdated airfields so taking off from them at certain BRs is impossible. Those AFs need a full revision.

Well this is war thunder so let’s try 1500-4000 meter airspawns.
