@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.

This. There is no need to completely waste them immediately if they run off and get out of the spawn. The whole point is to "keep them from spawn camping" Now if they get shot at by the AI and hang around, then it should take them out. This is a PvP instance after all.
The only way to stop something like this is to have starting zones neutral
- Enemy team cannot enter neutral zone.
- While in neutral zone, you cannot be damaged. Prevents spawn camping
- While in neutral zone, you cannot be healed. Prevents retreating, healing, then coming out full health
- While in neutral zone,You cannot fire a weapon. Prevents camping and firing unlimited ammo on nearby objectives
- All rules apply to air above zone.
The only negative of this design (I can think of) is a full map cap. The other team can pin a group. Of course a full team exiting with armor and air would be an epic battle!
@Padding_Ur_StatsThere's just no way to stop it! What are these, ideas on how to stop it? There aren't any! There's a team of AAA developers and apparently there's just nothing to do to address a problem that's existed in multiplayer games for decades and had a variety of different solutions implemented.
Would love to hear what the team has tried and why it apparently didn't work. It's not a major problem IMO, but surely it's something that's eminently solvable, no?@edgecrusherO0Well, my suggestion may not stop it, but they cannot improve their stats my way either. Nobody is just going to hover there all game hoping for an easy kill. People wont leave the zone with air or armor parked there. It becomes a draw. Not the best solution, but one that would discourage Stat Mongers maybe
