@OskooI_007 I would hope not completely people will still camp ingame, or just lay mines/c4 out where the vehicles spawn and just instantly blow them up as soon as someone hops in one, I do hope though that with the prespawned vehicles that if they're the same as the ones in the spawn screen you can choose to spawn in that they automatically apply your vehicle unlocks to them.
I'm excited for the vehicles to return back to how they originally were introduced in the Battlefield franchise, up for grabs at spawn points once you spawned onto the base. I prefer to do that rather than compete for vehicle spawns at the spawn screen, but understand your concerns. I still plant mines underneath vehicles whenever I have the chance, nothing like getting a kill confirmation 5 minutes later when someone jumped into the vehicle. Feels like you're special forces. I've learned over the years to check vehicles for C4 and mines underneath because of those deathly mistakes.
As for camping vehicles, you generally never saw it happen too often to warrant a concern. I remember doing it myself on Gulf of Oman where I camped the Middle Eastern Coalition's jets with a sniper rifle pointed right on the cockpit, so the moment someone got in I took the shot. 90% of the time the player would respawn and tried to hunt me down. I relocated as a sniper (as a good sniper would), only to kill them once more. Eventually, they would tell their buddies how irritated they were at me camping the jet so you had 4-5 people suddenly rush you at once and that was the end of that. Good laughs.
If I sat over there all game doing that I would call myself a camper as that's not really my game style, but temporarily restricting them from getting control of their assets is fair game to me in the art of war. They either need someone to defend the base or be aware of someone behind enemy lines at their base. Like I said earlier though, Battlefield players are pretty good at spreading the word on what's happening so those type of issues are cleared up pretty quick.
As always though, stay tuned for more official details on how the vehicle system will work. Always good to raise concerns like @TankerFlanker's so the development team is aware of what behavior the community is anticipating.
If you want to build a map or mode around that mechanic then that's fine but for traditional conquest players need some breathing room otherwise you end up having to devote resources to base defense which isn't terribly appealing and sort of detracts from PTFO.
I hope we still have BF3/BF4 style spawns in addition to being able to enter them from the ground. If not, I think you'll actually have people waste MORE time waiting for a vehicle rather than less as try to run from position to position to get one. Let's hope that we can also update our vehicle configs even if there are no vehicles available. There's zero reason not to be able to utilize that down time to prep your loadout and it wastes time having to do that once you have tapped the vehicle icon like in BF1/V
