I've experienced this too. However, I think the better solution is to spawn in the air. Spawning any vehicles on the ground makes them very vulnerable to spawn camping, especially with these tiny maps we have now. Enemy aircraft can fly over their opponents' spawn and attack unoccupied or newly occupied vehicles. If a pilot sees a newly spawned heli or jet on the ground, why not soften it up a bit before you have to face it in the air? This just opens up way too many opportunities for bad behavior. Spawning in the air was not broken. I don't know why Dice had to "fix" it.
