Subsonic aircraft should get airspawns in ARB

If any of you have played any subsonic strike aircraft in ARB, old or new, you know it struggles a LOT, and with the addition of the A-10C I think it is a great opportunity to do something about it.

I propose to give some subsonic strike aircraft (ie: AMX, A-10, Su-25 etc etc) airspawns somewhere above the aux airfield, this will solve two big issues, the first being the strike aircraft not being able to get to the AO at all (more about this in a second), and being left behind to become easy pray to people who want easy SL and RP.

With the current model in game, by the time the strike aircraft get to the AO, the jet bombers and other fighters would have likely passed them so it wouldn’t be an issue of strike fighters being the first line of defense, it would allow them to get ground targets and even bases without taking the ability to do so from other aircraft which can so supersonic or close to (Think Av-8s and Tornados).

And this would keep them close to their team where they wouldn’t need to go 20km (12mi) to help the A-10 or AMX that is getting focused by greedy players taking advantage of their slow speed.

In lower tiers this isnt much of an issue since many times strike aircraft get a pretty good array of missiles to compensate for their lack of speed or underperforming airframes, but sometimes it aint good enough.

I don’t feel like this change would be controversial if implemented right and would help the subsonic aircraft in ARB to be fun again.

The last time they had air spawns, they ended matches in 90 seconds.
So no, they can keep taking off like everyone else otherwise their BRs would have to go up by 0.7 like they were prior to the change.

There was a thing before they did those br changes. They said that they would give the A-10’s and the Su-25’s air spawns

You must mean they get lots of free kills with absurd OP missiles for the battle rating. It’s not a freakin air superiority fighter, and they dont need airspawns. Often, they DO make it to the ground targets and end the game by blasting them all with the 30mm cannons.

They are NOT easy prey, the A-10 can whip its nose around quite fast, and all of the aircraft you listed have stupid strong missiles and absolutely ruin what gets near them.
