vehicle time penalty.

Maybe you should actually use vehicles that are more than one shot kills? You’re only using glass cannons and then complaining when you get one-shot.

There should be a reservation system for vehicles.  I dislike this system where vehicle play is only possible for players willing to spend their game time camping the spawn menu.  I also dislike the idea of having teammates being useless competing with each other in the spawn menu.

It's just a bad mechanic.

The goal for the next BF game should be to find a solution for this spawn menu camping.

This is part of the reason that I spend more time as infantry in 2042.

There is almost never a vehicle slot I want available when it is needed. (case example: Some helicopter is being a royal pain but I cannot take a wildcat or a jet cause someone took an MBT that is derping as a mechanical sniper or has been using a heli that failed to do anything for the enemy heli other than to give them XP)

Then there is that respawn penalty when you want to get again the vehicle that you have just lost earlier. This is probably what the OP was talking about. It really punishes players who might play more aggressively and take more risks.

I would be interested in a queue for vehicles for those who are planing to use one instead of this timer. It would mean less time wasted watching the spawn screen for those who want to use a particular vehicle.

@TooManyWhiners What does it matter what vehicle i use?

EDIT: Glass cannons you mean i use only rockets or what? :D

@Man_iLoveFishingBecause it appears you were complaining about getting killed with one hit and you're only using vehicles that can be one-shot. Honestly, its difficult to understand what exactly your complaint is as its a bit rambling.

A glass cannon is something that has strong firepower but can also be easily killed.

X seconds and you are back in action. No matter if you spawn far away. Kinda your choice since theres transporters that fly around the map all the time.

First, no there isnt.  Second, Seats are full many times.   3rd, they arent always where the action is or where you wish to be.

But again, helos can be downed way faster and better than before, timer should be 2x shorter imo. + adding when newbye takes one and crashes it makes almost 5 mins of wait time. 

Experience of the pilot is not a consideration of the spawn time.   That is a ridiculous assignment.  That being said, the speed at which Helis can be downed is because they were so OP.   An 8 second timer for an infantry isnt much, but he can only kill 1 person at a time.   Comparing an Infantry which can kill an infantry to a Heli which can kills 10 infantry at one time is obtuse.  You continue to try and sell the Heli as not powerful, and you are just factually wrong.  Many games, air pilots are not downed.   They intercept TVs with buildings, hills, or just out maneuver them with their agility.  You tell me youre a good pilot.   Im not sure I agree.  You seem to not be able to out maneuver incoming fire.   I see it done all the time.  I believe it was Echo who posted a video of it.  I just cannot understand why you are having such an issue when others are not.

@Padding_Ur_StatsSo, you think its okay to wait helo 2-10 mins?

And still judges my piloting skills :D

And i'm not talking about TV only. RAM? MAA? STINGER? M5? TV? MAV? Other helo? Tranposter? Freaking TANK?

And quite frankly you don't fly, don't talk to me about dodging missile if you literally have no clue, i don't want to go there again.

@TooManyWhinersMy point is to have more lifespan in vehicles overall. Since that wait time is too long for all of 4 different AC vehicles.

EDIT: I see no difference if A: one survives whole round with helo. B: Helos spawn faster.

EDIT2: Also round is about 15mins right? So its about 7 helos waiting time.

Reservation system lol. Dumbest idea I’ve heard so far. 

And when player has been playing lets say 5 mins with helo and dies, then helo respawn timer resets. Why wouldn't it instant spawn after global 2 mins timer?

Yes, for a vehicle that has a 10-1 kill ratio, yes.   Having them spawn faster would be hugely impacting.

And still judges my piloting skills :D

Comparing to other pilots I have witnessed.  All players see how pilots fly, how they maneuver.   One doesnt have to fly to look up and say, man.... that guy is good or, wow, Im getting on Lis and farming that dude.

And i'm not talking about TV only. RAM? MAA? STINGER? M5? TV? MAV? Other helo? Tranposter? Freaking TANK?

Funny, Infantry face every vehicle, you dont seem to take that into consideration.

And quite frankly you don't fly, don't talk to me about dodging missile if you literally have no clue, i don't want to go there again.+

I do have a clue.   I T1'd Lis without using those XP portals.   Ive witnessed it.   So, I will go there.  You do not control how I respond.

In the end, you add all sorts of data as if the TBird is the only one who has all those exposures to being 1 hit.   Guess what, the infantry have all the same risks.  The irony is, Infantry get hit by missiles too.   I cannot tell you how many times as a sniper I get hit with a Lis missile, a recoil or some other form or propelled 1 shotting.   The difference between Infantry and the TBird is the incredible difference in Kill potential, in Map control Potential.  All of which you ignore in your 1v1 comparisons.   Comparing a TBird to an Infanty is comparing a Pea Shooter to a 30mm GAU-A8 Avenger Gatling-type Autocannon
