Delayed vehicle spawns
I would like to see a 2 minute delay in vehicle spawns for fair play. It is very common for players to use planes as a taxi to capture all flags before the opposing team has even loaded the map. Anyo...
Forum Discussion
Given what happened in BFV, with bombers wiping out entire teams before rounds had started, I hope there is a delay, or at least no planes spawn until the countdown ends.
@ElliotLH That was really awful in BFV and BF1 had the same problem as well (to some extent).
BF4 was actually ok, because most maps had lots of transport vehicles for infantry and planes/choppers had to take off at base.
Spawning inside flying planes (like BF1/BFV) has too many drawbacks.
Having a "delayed" spawn for planes/vehicles would not feel "right" for vehicle players, and the BF4 way of doing things would probably be the best solution.

- @cso7777 Yep, never could bring myself to do it as it felt really cheap. It was good when they changed it.
I unfortunately dislike the BF4 system and prefer the BF1/V way, but that's just me, and lots of people prefer the older style and see it as being fairer overall. If BF2042 is closer to BF3/4 when it comes to vehicle spawning then that's all good.
@PacNbowls It was sweet. Can't wait for them to tell us more about the vehicles and weapons.

May be a short one but I'd swear that the planes didn't pop up on the spawn map until a while after the ground troops had started the game?

Yes but it took a few months after release... you was for arround over a month able to start in a plane and swipe out the enemy team while they was still spawning.
Now there is a "Delay" but it is how it should supposed to be... Vehicle should spawn as soon you start the round, but not before the round will start, this isn't fair and doesn't make fun at all.

I arrested 2 double agents the moment Al Sundan opened .
Two sets of secret documents were recovered from them .
The English version meant for the Americans reads :
'The Intel is rock solid on this .
Apparently there's Bombers headed towards 'E' .
Somebody good should start manning the AA .'
The German version that I've translated for you reads :
'The Intel is rock solid on this .
Apparently there's a massing of troops at 'E' .
Somebody good should start flying there in a Bomber .'
What happened next?
Well , this spy thinks Choice happened next .
I mean , the Intel was rock solid .
I am for anything that curbs using jets as taxi's. I don't use jets but nothing more annoying than watching some * do that to cap a flag.
