Why what
If you are spawn camping, you dont deserve extra time to get back behind cover.
You get the advantage of camping spawn so there should be at least some risk to doing it.
You being bored from spawn camping isnt a very good reason we should make it harder for the other team to get score.
I think this delay you propose would be extremely frustrating to sit through, and wouldn’t force players to make smarter decisions. It would just make spawn camping even worse.
On the topic of SPAA, though, a solution is needed for players spawning SPAA right after dying to CAS. However, I don’t think the solution should be to implement a delay before spawning, as that would not change the fact that SPAA spawns in ready to kill.
A better solution would be the disabling of weaponry for SPAA specifically against aircraft and helicopters, for the first 10 seconds after spawning. This way, the SPAA player can gain situational awareness and search for targets without the pressure of needing to immediately revenge kill. CAS players can then have time to react to the threat, either detected visually or by RWR, and exit the danger zone. Then in the last 10 seconds of spawn protection (20s total), SPAA can shoot while invulnerable (same as currently) to address the issue of CAS spawn camping. Maybe even extend SPAA’s spawn protection to 25 seconds total to compensate for the firing time removed.

I guess what I’m saying by end of game most if not the entire team is already proxy camping your spawn. Let’s say you spawn and get 2 tanks good! The problem is because the entire team is already there those two will spawn and immediately be back spawn camping you. So spawn protection late game or when most of your team is gone is a lose lose in war thunder being heavily team based. I’m not speaking in the beginning and yes I am all for spawn protection but making maps bigger and map design I feel will still not fix the top tier issue lower tiers are fine since tanks are slow if you get a couple with spawn protection you have time to leave and spawn again to push the enemy back, maybe, at top tier proxy spawn camping can extend the game by 10 or 15 mins especially if you’re playing protect the objective.
Spawn delay by tank type sounds good. Helps the impatient ones play tanks instead of immediately jumping to SPAA.
Every game there are winners and there are losers 🤷. Most, if not all, games already milk money from gamers by using this to their advantage by either making the grind harder without using money (premium accounts) or releasing META’s behind paywalls. In fact, very little Competitive games don’t do this now a days.
