My understanding is that in order for a vehicle to become a spawn point, it has to remain relatively immobile for a little while. however, drivers and pilots currently have no idea of when that happens short of someone actually spawning in your vehicle.
Could we have some UI indication of when that happens, and when it turns off? Seems like basic information we should have and it would promote team play.
Your post reassures me: I assume you've put some hours in the game as well, happy to see you don't know the ins and out of vehicles spawns either. 😀
I don't think I've had that issue with MBTs, but I haven't tried Attack Helicopters since they're not in Breakthrough. I can understand it being the case for Attack Helis, though, as I can see them not being classed as Team vehicles (could be wrong. I'm making an assumption).
Edit: Game proved me wrong. Just tried a Conquest match and couldn't spawn in an MBT a teammate was driving. I'm not sure if they were just full or it was a mobility thing though. I could spawn on IFVs that were moving, so maybe it is an issue.
Had to come off, but can hopefully try Breakthrough later and see if I can spawn on MBTs there.
Uh. I read this when the game released, a vehicle had to be immobile for a little while before it became a spawn point (but then could go full speed after that, and would remain a spawn point for a while). I took the habit of stopping once in a while to let people spawn on me.
But I can't find the post anymore, but now I see other posts saying you can't spawn in an MBT or attach chopper unless a squadmate is driving, which I didn't know was a thing.
My bad if I got it wrong. After close to 900 hours of gameplay... I feel silly, but at the same time, I really REALLY wished we had some sort of a manual, instead of having to rely on reddit posts.
What? You can spawn on vehicles going at top speed.
I think it's a basic thing that should be implemented (unless I missed something int he mechanic or it's already there?)
