In CQ this is becoming a complete joke !!!!!
The countdown goes to zero and nothing just greyed out vehicles.
what is the point of the vehicle countdown when it does not give you a vehicle to choose and does not state if any will become available or in use?
I think it's because some other playing is spamming the button when the time gets low and you just don't get the opportunity....
Maybe, I don't know.

They tried that and BFV and you’d get spawn killed before you can take off. Terrible idea.

Not so terrible if they protect the spawn area like they should....

@CPT_GASLIGHT BFV used the new BF1/Battlefront spawn system. And yes aerial interdiction is part of Battlefield so I see no problem with what you describe.

Or how about we put enough vehicles in the game so that people can play how they like and not have be stuck on infantry like every other game out there? Crazy I know.

Only the tanks (on Wake) self spawned on the map in BFV. I don’t recall those being spawn killed.
The planes (again on Wake) were still spawned from a menu and plopped down on the runway. Indeed this could lead to spawn killing the plane. The pilot had no chance to assess the area before taking off. I think what’s being suggested is the planes also self spawn and force the pilot to secure the area.
BF1943 was the last (and only game?) that had air vehicles self spawning in unprotected areas. I preferred this system since it made the game feel more sandboxy and gave casual vehicle players a better shot at flying.
More commonly in the older BF titles the air vehicles would only self spawn in protected areas with minimal risk of spawn killing. I think BF3 had AI anti-air turrets protecting the planes.

Which meant you had to play as a team or play strategically to get the vehicle. Lay down smoke, get support from another squad to clear the area. I.e make an effort.
Bf2042 vehicle system is geared to a totally different kind of play style, that I personally find vapid and geared for solo players. Shallow and selfish. Ruins the game play and basically makes vehicle play dull and boring.

I have absolutely never seen such drivel posted here. In BFV the plane can spawn in the air or on the ground and you have no idea which one it is. You also can’t control who takes the plane if you don’t take it immediately. “Hey guys, I want to play the plane, I don’t know where or when it will spawn but it could spawn at these 2 areas so can no one take it after we take the base. K thx bye 🙂.” You know how stupid that sounds? Not everything is centered around teamwork. Having fun above all should not be dependent on teammates.
There was also no text chat on console. So so the majority of the player base can’t even participate in the ludicrous example I gave.
