Come on guys,
put a out of combat area over the bases just rapping players buy flying the heli's over there base in a * move and is getting worse.
And a spawn timer for players so you don't die just as you spawn might be a good idea too.
@Reema666It’s almost as if BF4 never existed.
*Points to BF4 Phalanx AI cannon as a perfect example of how to keep an enemy air from camping the spawns*
That or the BF1 safe zone spawn in that spawns your aircraft basically out of bounds. Gives you a few seconds to get your bearings, get some altitude and scout for enemy air. Once you enter the main map area the safe zone you came from is now out of bounds to you too.
Or the BFV route where you can man a couple pre built AA guns inside your home spawn as infantry.
Man oh man if only DICE had prior examples to go by … 🤨
Common sense adjustments, get that outta here!
Yeah, pretty obvious that they can add both protection and restrictions in base spawns so you can shoot out of them nor shoot into them. Then have a small DMZ area where there is fighting allowed but enemy out-of-bounds restrictions.
DICE TeamPlanes from Battlefield 2 days says Hi. :D
It sure sux but also not a new issue, not sure how you would stop it. BF3 added Automated AA if you got close did not really work. You could make air space like a no fly zone close to enemy uncap, or build a hill in fornt of the un caps but then all maps uncaps will have similar layout.
Have a shield around the un caps buts nots more like 2142 tech then anything

it worked, you just had to spot the aircraft before it would engage
@Zhukov211 The base AA in BF4 does not make quick work of the enemy aircraft. Even a so-so pilot can get away from it pretty easily. With that being said, I do wish there were base AA's in 2042. Would be better than aircraft flying with impunity into the spawn and killing anyone they want for as long as they want.
@Chief2GFDYes actually the AI AA can make quick work of many a greedy pilot. Especially one that has a bit of damage.
Not always ofc, as with anything. I’ve found myself knowing better but still getting lured into chasing enemy helos running to their spawn only to get my idiot self taken out by AI AA. I’ve manually spotted many an enemy little bird in my own spawn in BF4 and have seen first hand the AI AA take them down.
Any effort by the Devs to prevent spawn camping is better than no effort what so ever.
@Zhukov211 It only makes quick work if they are spotted and they get greedy and don't evade it. I am a so-so pilot in the heli and I can get away very easy if I try.
@Chief2GFDRight. “Getting away” is the key phrase. You're making my point for me. You’re getting away and not carelessly loitering over the enemy spawn killing infantry, vehicles and aircraft as they spawn in. It’s much more of a deterrent than we we currently have in 2042 which is no deterrent at all.
