Spawn protection for high tier AA guns (7.0 to 9.0 kind of range) lasts far to long against planes

Spawn protection for AA guns lasts too long. especially after they start shooting.

At higher tiers AA’s have a engagement range of near the entire map so spend most of the game hiding in the spawn area anyway.

When your taking AA fire from the spawn you have no way to know if its been there for 5 seconds for 5 minutes.

Time and time again I manage to evade the AA gun fire and close the gap to strafe it and its IMMUNE to all damage.

By the time your close enough to find the Gepard or whatever is still spawn protected your so close its near impossible to evade any further shots and its certain death.

Now I absolutely understand why spawn protection is needed against other ground vehicles spawn camping but against the early jets whizzing past they cant just sit there and watch the spawn every second.

AA guns need some kind of Max shots fired ends spawn protection early. With their radar systems to instantly acquire targets and long engagement ranges they can sit there in spawn fully protected and fire off several hundred shots before spawn protection ends.

Spawn protection while common in many games typically ends when the protected person starts engaging. Letting something fire hundreds of shots while fully protected is just absurd.

Their max engagement range is 3-5 KM. they sit in the spawn fully protected and have free reign to shoot at anyone legitimately playing for objectives

Sounds like you support Ardennes Spawn to Spawn shooting

Don’t attack the spawn if You don’t know what is there.

You have to attack the spawn because they attack you from the spawn. if you don’t attack spawn you die to them 100%. if you do attack spawn you die to them 80% of time

When You are using air unit You don’t have to attack the spawn especially if You don’t know what is there

Add a cement lid to ground spawn like submarine bunkers would solve the whole thing - Who want’s an opportunity to shoot a spawn protected guy who can just point and click you anyways

Tank spawn zones are tiny 25x25m pre-painted zones on the map. You’re playing in a 3D space with your CAS, if you can’t monitor the spawn or play around it I don’t know what to tell you.

Fact: people spawns
Fact 2: SPAA stays there after protection
Fact 3: SPAA is a threat

Yes you do, because you have a AA gun with unlimited ammo since it can now build its own ammo resupply point sitting there with its radar assist guns accurately shooting at you at ranges of up to 5km

It is impossible to engage on any part of the map that is outside thier range

Wait for spawn protection to end ?

So they will sit there without moving? Right, great gameplay, I won’t die untill I leave my spawn, it really makes me want to spawn more than once!

Fact, as air unit You don’t have to attack the spawn.

What AA has unlimited ammo? Even the resupply is limited, not to mention that gun SPAA don’t have effective range up to 5km.

Spawn protection only works when it’s not ended…

Reminder for ground guys: planes are moving with aerodynamics not wasd.

Last time I checked, I could control it with wasd and mouse so I didn’t have to fly straight at the enemy spawn

Cool. just leave SPAA there shooting you at 1km: Ground maps are small so planes won’t be far away if he’s not going for spawn

Pay attention to people spawning.

you don’t think AA’s can shoot accurately to ranges at 5km and beyond. what have you never played a single 8.0+ match
