Attack helo respawn time is longer than personal cooldown timer

One player can get attack helos successively. I think cooldown should be increased, and respawn time could be reverted to 90s because we rarely have two or more good pilots in a team (in my region).

@MZR_926Yeah, at some point a few patches ago they made a stealth change where the respawn time was increased to 2 minutes, which as you said is longer than the 90s+ personal cooldown timer. I was scratching my head wondering why they forgot to also adjust that timer in conjunction with the respawn change. Totally defeats the purpose of including the personal cooldown in the first place.

Wholly agree that they should get them back inline with each other so that other heli pilots can have a chance at flying when another pilot crashes and burns. Honestly there are more changes they need to make to this system. For instance, I shouldn't be penalized with a personal cooldown across ALL vehicles just because I called down a jeep on the battlefield.

    @Anarchiesx There was another one after that when it went to somewhere between 2m 5s and 2m 10s.

    Makes it even easier for the pilot to respawn if he has the timer from the previous respawn to know approximately how much he was to wait to get a new vehicle. He is like "oh, a new one should be available in 15 seconds, I'll just wait".

    And the personal timer is shorter if you jump before getting killed, or crash/blow up/get terminated.

      @A-RAF2019 Vehicle personal limit should be universal for all vehicles (currently it is not, or, sometimes it is, it seems glitched).

      To fix this, personal (spawn in vehicle and call in as well) should be like 1.5 x current vehicle respawn Time. If vehicle respawn = 2 minutes, then it is 3, if 4 minutes, fhen it would be 6 minutes, if it goes down to 1m, then 1m30s, and so on.

      This would give more people the chance to play with vehicles.
