    @Ah1Z-ViperTRit is a bug, i submitted it and with a video.

    it basically applies to ALL the vehicles now,  player cool-down and spawn availability is not working at ALL. 

    Here is an immediate fix,  annoying, but it does work.

    Open vehicle spawn - select vehicle, press ESC or click Vic spawn button again,  just sit there and persistently click it, you will notice the cool-down timer is STILL counting, but not actively.  then after it reaches 0:00, continue this process until the vic you want lights up. 

    That is the ONLY way to do it for now until they fix this.

    I am having the same problem after the recent update with the class system coming back. My system is on PS5.

    I am a pilot and also noticed the condor is suddenly less responsive.

    Hope this will be fixed soon.

  • Same problem with vehicle countdowns after class system patch. Last vehicle used countdown only updates if I close the vehicle menu. Close vehicle selection with 45 seconds of cooldown, wait 10, come back and it will show frozen at 35, etc. Other vehicles continue to count down correctly it has only been the last one used, which tends to be the one you want.

    Prior to the latest update, I noticed that when in the vehicle menu, the timer would be stuck on every vehicle.  Since the latest update, the timer only seems to be sticking on the last vehicle that I was in, i.e. if I was in a heli, the timer would be stuck for all helis, but would be counting down for other vehicles.

    @W4RD0G71 like i said, they did that on purpose so that them noobs have the chance using vehicle and most of them noobs are clueless piloting the vehicles.
