Little Bird / Nightbird spawning Out of Bounds and already damaged

GM, Since the latest patch, EVERY time i spawn the little bird from the vehicle menu, it has already taken almost 50% damage, even before the map starts! This even happens when playing on SOLO games! On maps like manifest, it immediately dives into the water killing it. Anyone else seeing/having this issue? TY

Hey all,

The teams have temporarily disabled the "Heavy Metal" cosmetic for the MD540 Nightbird due to an issue when spawning with it equipped.

Please see the tweet here: https://twitter.com/BattlefieldComm/status/1605152318705393664.

This should solve the issue of the Nightbird spawning out of bounds & already damaged.

Please let us know if this has also temporarily solved the issue for you.

Summarize your bug When spawning in a nightbird on US you spawn so far out of bounds and at max altitude that you cannot move and you just die. On the RU side..you spawn on fire with very little health and just crash into the ground.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Spawn in a nightbird helicopter at the beginning of a round on Spearhead Conquest 128
What happens when the bug occurs? When spawning in a nightbird on US you spawn so far out of bounds and at max altitude that you cannot move and you just die. On the RU side..you spawn on fire with very little health and just crash into the ground.
What should be happening instead? Not crashing, in bounds, facing objectives

Had this issue happen 4 times in a row with the Nightbird. Spawn in and the health is anywhere from 80-16 and usually the helo is out of control initially. Happens on 128 player conquest for sure on multiple maps.

It might be broken on more maps, I dunno. So tired of simple * like this not getting patched.

Same with me. About the first ten times trying to spawn in the nightbird I would spawn out of bounds parachuting while watching the nightbird crash into the ground, then I die. Or spawn in it with an 80% chance of crashing immediately and dying. This has been happening in every single map on conquest.

@Anarchiesx had this too, on multiple maps, twice I spawned in the ground and blew up instantly, only on the nightbird though
