Heli Spawn Campers Ruin The Game!

Thanks for taking the time to lay this out. Even if this does not fall under a “bug,” it is still not the kind of match experience anyone wants. I’ll pass this along to the team, particularly around vehicle spawn flow and access. I appreciate you calling out the impact this is having, not just on you, but also on friends trying to enjoy the franchise.

EA_LunardustCat​ Thanks for picking this up and passing it along to the team! The issue does not limit itself to people camping the chopper spawn point to prevent other people from having a go at flying the chopper. There's a category of players who take their egocentric behaviour one step further, they will destroy the own teams helo in spawn with a RPG upon match start and they see they can't get to it first. This should be a simple fix of making empty vehicles immune to friendly fire inside the spawn area.

At first I was a fan of the air vehicles spawning physically at base or airstrip as it brought back some BF3 nostalgia, and back then there were also trolls who would put C4 on parked jets/helo's waiting for a teammate to get in and blow it up. However seeing the current development I would gladly go back to the BF2042 air vehicle spawn system of air vehicles spawning mid-air and put a respawn timer delay on people who have just had their turn at flying. 

Vehicles are a limited resource and therefore everybody should get a fair chance in using them.
