Remove the airfield default spawn in bad weather

Yes, it would be cool, but the fact is - we do not have 20min matches. They are very rare.

To implement your ideas that would end up with 3min of flying and doing nothing - we need to solve the match lengh issues first.

And it will never happen, because gaijin want quick matches.

Gaijin want players to not have fun in this game, thats why we will never have cool stuff like longer battles, GRB EC, proper PvE etc

Only way that airfields could realistically be moved back is if gajin cut ticket drain from capped points in half.

(without any proper reason,) Update : selection of bombs/missiles, gun belts, amount of shells are no longer saved and have to chose at every single spawn. Then you’ll say “It only takes 2 seconds to re-select your favorite loadout, you shouldn’t be lazy for just 2 seconds”

This is leaving me so confused😂
Might as well say it in your native language then let me translate it manually

more like 4-5 minute and it even worse for people using bombers with max payload and struggling to take off and hit the mountain infront of the airfield.

F-84 with a longer takeoff run than a B-29

Ok, but taking a sample of 10 games, how many of them have bad weather? And then if there is, I’ll tell you what they told me. If you don’t like it, go out and play a game with another faction.

7/10

Add option to change the default air spawn.
ex.: in GRB Id rather take off normally and choose my own route of approach to the battlefield, than spawn in a plane sight of everyone.

Who will wanna play the game if your heavy bomber can’t even take off from the airfield and land? Of course they are gonna play other games if this doesn’t get fixed. Gaijin gonna need to extend the runway by 500m and remove a wall of mountains in some maps.

You also dont show up on Radar, taking off from the airbase
Whereas flying into the area you are already being engaged by a Pantsir

There are merrits to each

I just want them to remove air spawn in general. It made sense for early bombers and strike aircraft, but adding air spawn to 10.7+ matches is laughable.

At this point Gaijin should add autopilot and auto land since it’s clear they don’t want us actually flying out aircraft.

Erm gotta watch the language buddy

I completely agree its a pointless change and actually makes quality of life worse

There was and will never be any quality of life for war thunder

This is the worst incompetent change to game , by FAR.

  • Bad weather doesn’t affect performance
  • Default to airfield is terrible. Almost always there is no advantage
  • Bad for bombers, you spawn on airfield, you lost your change to get a good score, if any
  • You can’t fix it by J-ing out in the airfield. You only have once chance to spawn in air, it is at the start of game.

This doesn’t make sense. You are spawning in an airfield that are 15 km away from the battlefield, with a 4 ton bomb loaded A7E. How is it fair to force me to spawn in airfield. It would be understandable if we spawned 100 km away,had enough time to climb.

Has this shit been added and ruined prop games as well?

You may not have asked for it, but I asked that CAS in GRB spawn solely at the airfield. The bad weather forcing the AF spawns is a step in that direction, as far as I am concerned.

So you’re going to conveniently ignore how aircraft in GRB have roughly 3x the map space compared to the fishbowl the ground vehicles are stuck in to move around in to set up altitude, speed, attack vectors, etc? That’s cute but your purposeful ignorance doesn’t help your argument.
