Remove the airfield default spawn in bad weather

Dunno, AF spawn sounds more realistic to me than spawning in the air out of the blue. Also, as a SPAA player, its easier for me to know if there is CAS incoming if they spawn in the air. Now with AF spawn in bad weathers, I will not know if anyone spawned therefor It allows CAS to do a surprise attack easier.

Trust, AF spawn is a blessing for that in some maps. CAS has a chance to strike before being seen by SAM/SPAA. Not like you cannot change the option to air spawn, just going to have to make it a habit and manually change it. Just stop being lazy about it.

its also how enlisted reduces the extreme power of CAS, we could do with such measures here too

I dont really get the point of spawning at the airfield. The only SAM in game that can reach out and touch you past 10km is the IRIST, every new sam and pantsir isnt touching anyone that far out. And for the IRST you get a rwr ping that clearly says what it is and can act accordingly from 15km air spawn.

All spawning at the airfield does is make you easy pickings for CAP spawn camping. GRB AAA is absolutely dogwater and might as well not exist, it might deter props and cold war jets thats about it.

Then just change the AF spawn to Air Spawn. The options are there, no one’s fault beside the player if they forget to change it. I recently had to start doing that as well, not hard. No different from checking how much fuel we taking, what kind of bombs we taking, selecting the camo for planes, changing time fuse on bombs etc…

Its not a 1 and done option, its every match. Ya lets make it so you have to start your engine every time you spawn in a vehicle, i mean its just 1 button whats the big deal? You lazy or something?

I get people hate CAS but its not a reason to say the dumbest things.

You can just turn on your gun ccip and it will tell you if theres a mountain in front of you. Gives you like a 2km advanced warning even going mach 1 thats enough time to react and pull up.

If you think what i said its dumb, thats fine. I said what I said, that’s what i believe. I have to change it every time i get on a plane, thats fine, il just not be lazy and make it a habbit.

Not in bad weather. You wouldnt call for CAS to take off in bad weather, you would call for CAS that’s already in the air.

Everything spawns outta the blue, so planes aren’t really special.

It’s not about being lazy, it’s just annoying.

There should be a toggle in the Options menu to disable the auto-choice of airfield spawn.

Anyone made a suggestion for it yet? If not start with that, for now just make it habit.

Just stop CAS from flying in bad weather

In a realistic setting, CAS would be called in from different sectors (which is basically airspawn). CAS taking off in bad weather is unrealistic.

Taking off isn’t the issue its the conditions over the battle space. Low visibility makes any PGM impossible to aim even the latest TGPs can’t see through thick fog. And WW2 and cold war it becomes even more dangerous for the pilot.

F-35 and other US jets can target through clouds but this is probably with radar a2g modes

GPS doesn’t care but lasers and TGP would be blocked. FLIR works off light amplification and clouds and atmospherics tend to obscure this.

Although maybe the F-35 FLIR is superior I honestly don’t know

How the heck does this even nerf CAS spawning at the airfield only protect you from AA and Spawnkills.

EOTS is considered roughly equivalent to a SNIPER XR

Just make the thundercloud icon blink or something, I swear I’d be fine. Eventually it’ll become second nature but I just don’t notice it to change it before jumping in the aircraft right now.
