At the risk of getting flamed out for asking a classic question, but Im new to realstic and realized that Air is the only game without spawn points. Every other vehicle you can play multiple vehicles but air is one plane and done. It would make it so much more enjoyable to not fly in empty air for five minutes only to get taken out of the match entirely because of a poor positioning decision.
Link me if this has been talked about at length
Air AB has no spawn points either.
It’s a thing they added way back to Ground RB and it was used in other modes too.
It varies widely how it works and there is very little continuity between the game modes.
I stopped playing Ground RB myself after it was implemented there.
I just never thought it worked very well, and has not gotten better over time.
The best use of a spawn point system in the game is in naval.
Players are guaranteed 3(and no more) ship spawns each match.
And all the actions go towards spawn point for the planes.
This makes using planes more fair and balanced overall,
only problem is, planes are practically useless due to AAA
Air RB has always been a 1 spawn mode, due to “realism” I suppose.
There have been Air RB EC games where players could spawn more than once.
But short of that returning, I do not think Air RB will get more than 1 spawn.
Not any time soon anyway . . . but, never say never
Seems fun on paper, but youd loose the weight of things. Conserving ammo, gaining altitude and positioning not to mention spawn camping. Arcade is similiar to what your asking for but with training wheels and at toptier its un fun thats why noone matchmakes on it.
I personally prefer the 1 life per match nature of ARB.
It prevents 1DLs which cause issues in ground and naval
It prevents spawn camping (last time I played AAB, half my kills were on people that had spawned in seconds before)
The grind is much faster as its tuned around 1 life per match, not multiple
The fact you dont need a line-up is lovely, and it doesnt force you to compromise to make a line up.
ARB is still too arcadey for my liking, but im really glad it doesnt get a respawn, the maps are waaaaay too small for that
No air gamemode has SP spawn. And its fine that way.
There are no SP in GAB or AAB either, in GAB you just have a fixed number of spawns and AAB you can just spawn until you run out of planes.
I agree with the fact that one life per match could improve the player skill in some way but this won’t solve one-death-leaving because there’s bad maps being made and Leave button available to press anytime. Unlike air battles, naval and (specially naval) ground do have bad maps that people just refuses to play, it won’t prevent this issue, but maybe worsen it or (very likely) do absolute nothing in favor of fixing it. Both naval and ground battles doesn’t require line-up to play, the fact that is open to the player justify the low rewards compared to air battles?
