That is the entire point! ALL the “free” stuff is to address the ODL issue! and the fact you missed even that proves this conversation is pointless. go scream into the wind.

all the free stuff adresses it horribly.
people arent gonna want to respawn on a horrible map after driving around and dying to someone crossmap.
more map bans/dislikes/likes would be a lot better than a free drone or tank

Thinking 750SP cost useless vehicle has anything to do with 1 death leavers or solution to it talks something about someone else screaming to the wind with pointless arguments…
Literally a quote from the games Devs that drones where added to give people an alternative to ODL:
Sure, I’m not saying it was the best idea, but that is why it was added. You can say it was the best idea in the history of war thunder or the worst or anywhere in between, but that doesn’t change the FACT that it’s repeatedly been the stated reason for the the additions of the drones/ tanks/ spaas.
You can either accept that for better or for worse that is how Gaijin has decided to address the issue so far or you can do what @SFmerc is doing and start throwing you toys out of the pram at me like yelling at me will change what Gaijin thinks. I’m not trying to justify Gaijins decisions, just explain what I think is the logic behind them
I get that.
But there were many more obvious better choices for gaijin to choose from, and my guess would be that they didnt want to do it for non premium players because you get a map ban when you have premium.

I agree whole heartedly, from a recent topic on the ODL issue:
Spoiler
But my original point was simply that “Free CAS” was Gaijins 1st solution, adding more free CAS will not likely improve things.
Ehem, Mozdok

Well I dont recall reading anything about that on time of drone age.
ONly what I remember was those UAV’s were wished from community to get.
And if it is true, then it is and I will raise my hand if I were wrong assuming that it would be total BS call even from snail to try compensate 1 ddeath leavers on 750sp cost vehicle
But on time when they were introduced, they were useable, and overperforming on mid tier.
And could actually give a choise to spawn.
But even then, having average 1 death leaver getting 750SP is like waiting snowstorm in sahara.
Even today, after these free vehicles, there is still plenty people leaving after 1 death, having just that 1 tank on lineup.
Or then we have 5+ AA’s just sitting in spawn after 2 mins of game.
But no, I dont want free CAS to be introduced either.
I would rather see parts and 1st dart on tanks, and AA’s balance swapping pantsir to Thor, since S1 is most overperforming Stock AA what can be imagined, outside IRIS-T etc.
There actually should be better options on map bans/dislikes.
And seriously starting to remove certain maps on top tier rotation completely.
Yeah Mozdo is the King of the hill map in this game. Whoever controls the middle hill wins.
Just allow players to choose maps they WANT to play.
Too hard, huh?
ODL then, or even worse - exit to hangar before spawn at all.
If I remember correctly they said they introduced them for people who don’t habe access to high tier planes (AKA literally free CAS).

Map vote??? You get a match then before loading in the players get 3 maps to pick from and have 10 seconds to vote. Would be interesting.

You ever seen the Guild Wars 2 PvP map selection? you get 5 maps to chose from, every player gets to pick their favorite map from among those, then it rolls for which map you play on with the chances for each map based on the number of votes. so even if you are the only one the likes a map you still have a chance to get it, but the most popular map has the highest odds.
I like that system.
I’d rather choose a map in the hangar, but then players with certain tastes would have to wait too long for their match. So your option looks better.
Lmao what are we playing? World of Warcraft?
Bit no I have not played squadron battles. Never interested me as much.
I don’t think there are many people would argue that Gaijin takes the path of least resistance when it comes to fixing problems and that they could do better on every issue you could possibly name. It is what it is.
I’m just saying I like the system for map selection for PvP, But WoW was my second MMO game after Planetside died off,
Yeah I get you I have just never seen anyone refer to WT squadrons as guilds

Old habits I guess, I tend to switch between the terms Outfits and Guilds depending if I’m in Planetside or WoW mode. But anyway even in WTs normal game modes I don’t imagine it would be too hard to let players vote between 3 to 5 maps.
