I really like the addition. Also counters Airfield Teamkillers.

You’re right, they now teamkill in the air instead!

I honestly have zero idea on who asked for this. Like I know some weirdo “fighter purists” wanted this because “taking off is too slow” but there is zero reason to have it. But hey, at least Gaijin can act like they did something this update instead of BREAKING THE GAME.

This was the entire point of developing ARH missiles.

The A10, SU25, harrier, other strike aircraft could.use a permanent airspawn
The rest are not needed

So basically just have Strike Aircrafts have air spawns throughout the entire game. I guess that’s fine.

I like the airspawns cause they allow for people to bring more fuel.
It equalizes slower accelerating aircraft with the big boys.
Su-30SM no longer is bad accel on takeoff and can keep up with the team better.
Every single person that has asked for multiple airfields on the map; As the only way for that to be possible is with air spawns for the initial spawn.
Air spawns are good but we need to have more planes to spawn so u wouldnt need to rematch after u die
It will also help with the grind

i have only been getting air spawns today, please gaijin
It’s also a (unneeded) stealth buff to certain planes that benefit most from getting up to speed and climbing to altitude to spam their missiles off asap

It’s just arcade battles with RB flight models now. I can’t believe they only go backwards with this game. The whole community has been SCREAMING and BEGGING for ARBEC and now we just got AB+

Which include Su-30SM, Mirage 3, F-4E, F-4F ICE, Tornado F3 & Late, Mirage 2000, Gripen, F-16s, and Viggen to name a few.
Yeah I’m not a fan of the air spawns. You said it all pretty well, I have nothing to add but my support of your petition.

Air spawn should only be a mechanic for subsonic strike aircraft and bombers. Even disregarding that this nerfs match playtime further, it’s just an unfun change designed to encourage more AAB behaviour in ARB matches.

hopefully gaijin will respond to player feedback. arb games already last 6 minutes, we don’t need to get it down to 4 minutes 30 seconds

I was just spamming pheonix missikes seconds after spawning in last night.
Land, take off amd spam again.
Who even asked for this?

A friend has taken to doing exactly this on a rinse/repeat cycle in the Iranian f14.
Ensure they have airspawn selected. Lock immediately from spawn, fling all four fakour, slow right down and land on forward runway then do it again
It’s a horribley robotic, mindless and skillless way to play and that’s what the airspawns seem to encourage

People that play exactly that way: spam, land, repeat.
Oh, and for who that asked for it? Apparently it is very boring and monotonous to constantly take off from the airfield. So quite clearly they are Zombers that came from Arcade and F-15E players.
Only going to get worse. Im.going to pheonix the rest of the US tree.
Can watch TV, youtube and get a bunch of kills at the same time. And my missus used to say i cant multi task😂
Having A10’s and other slow jets spawning air would of been nice though
