If you made this change, did you ever think about how it would affect bombers, interceptors, and strike airplanes? I, for sure, won’t renew my premium, as all the fun—if there was any—in playing those planes has been taken away!
In fact, you made this change so quickly that even the interface options remained unchanged, which shows the decision was, at the very least, unpolished.
But but how will complete noobs that bought a top tier premium take off?
We don’t want them to crash instantly ( even though they will feed the enemy and probably uninstall after a week or two).
Add to that the fact that if they let this stuff go on their “”“statistics”“” will be completely altered and we’ll get INSANE br change proposals from them.
It’s just… IMPOSSIBLE to retain balance in air now.
I wanted air spawns so players could be spread apart rather than stuck on a runway condenced.
Air spawns are more polished and a good step forward to a more dynamic game.
Over-BR’d bombers have a chance of being moved down finally as well.
With how Gaijin added airspawns this does not happen. If they were more like the ones on Mysterious Valley I would agree, but that just doesn’t happen in my experience. Even the ones on Mysterious Valley leave players too close together because everyone ends up in a 40x10 km area by the time the match truly begins.
Yet stuff like the Su-24 and F-111 are hit the hardest because they spawn 400kmh slower than everyone else.
The massive speed difference between every plane also makes airspawns worse than AF spawns. I would only want airspawns if they spread players out along a 50km-80km line, and if they spawn every single plane at the same speed (500kmh would be a good spawn speed for all jets).This is also ignoring rewards nerf and overall decreased quality of gameplay that comes from having airspawns at top tier. It’s an issue that air realistic matches are shorter than air arcade matches, and airspawns contribute to that.
I would complain less if air spawn happens at very low altitude and low speed over the AF. But at the moment, it’s a drastic game-changer. It affects everything and everyone, though it mostly hits planes that have lost their altitude and distance advantage.
