Vehicle Spawns

I think that armor and aircraft should have static spawns at the main base and around objective flags the same as previous BF titles. This would incentivize the capture and control of certain objectives more than just the ticket bleed.
Say for example objective "A" spawns an extra Wildcat where-as objective "B" would spawn extra Tank for whomever controls that point etc. etc. And all control points should have some sort of transport that spawns in our near them. And some static assets like TOW missiles, Machine-gun emplacements and AA would be nice too.
The map "Rogue Transmission" from BF4 (and a couple of others I can't remember off the top of my head right now) even spawned an extra attack chopper, so that flag was a priority to hold on to.
Also, it would be nice if anybody could spawn into a vehicle Irregardless if they are in the same squad or not like the transport helis.
Anyway, feel free to share your thoughts.
I see pros and * to each of them.
The negatives to having the vehicles be static spawns:
- Causes people to bunch up on a runway/chopper pad/etc and fight over who gets to pilot it while doing nothing worthwhile for the team.
- The above also leads to an easy bombing run by the enemy team to just blow up everyone there as well as the vehicles as they spawn
- Then you have people that will be trolls and C4/blow up/block the runways with vehicles causing them to crash/explode if they can't get it.
That said, I could be completely behind some static vehicle spawns based on capture points _also_ being available alongside the spawned-in ones from the deploy screen. I'm good with having just quick transports being available via the air-drop menu though.
WRT spawning into a vehicle regardless of squad affiliation, I think requires some form of inter-vehicle communication. At least if you are in a squad you can theoretically use VOIP and call out incoming/repairs/etc. And hopefully goes to less trolling of people that aren't in your squad just sitting in a seat doing nothing.

"Causes people to bunch up on a runway/chopper pad/etc and fight over who gets to pilot it while doing nothing worthwhile for the team."
Also true, but I have a feeling a lot of vehicle mains are already doing this by simply refusing to spawn, sitting there spamming/clicking in spawn screen until they can get back into "their" preferred vehicle.
"The above also leads to an easy bombing run by the enemy team to just blow up everyone there as well as the vehicles as they spawn"
That one is easy, main base automatic AA that shreds enemy aircraft if they violate that airspace.
"Then you have people that will be trolls and C4/blow up/block the runways with vehicles causing them to crash/explode if they can't get it."
That one's a little trickier, maybe a wall and runway that's impenetrable to vehicles/damage and not allow vehicles call-ins on runways?

That's a fair argument with vehicle mains just sitting in the deploy screen (one of my buddies is a heli main and will do it when the team is getting destroyed so that the single attack vehicle isn't wasted for at least 90 seconds (which alone is one problem).
Also, TIL that the word c-o-n (opposite of pro) is censored here...
