Infuriating bug when trying to spawn in a plane [PS4]

Product: Battlefield 1
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Summarize your bug Hey guys, so I wanted to report a severe bug on PS4 that has occurred multiple times now. As I select an aircraft to spawn in, the game doesn't react, I can select other spawn points but nothing happens. Then about 30 seconds after I selected spawn in plane, the game camera switches to me who apparently sat in the plane this entire time, only to see how I gracefully crash because I can't give any control inputs for the plane.I get an unnecessary death and our team loses a very valuable plane. WTF DICE? Am I the only one this has happened to? It mostly happens on Operations, but sometimes also on conquest. Please fix this, thank you!
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Well, it's a bug that occurs when trying to spawn in a plane (doesn't matter which plane). Please fix it, it's so damn annoying. If you need it, I can upload a video where this happens.
What happens when the bug occurs? When I ty to spawn in a plane at first nothing happens and after 30 seconds the game camera switches to the plane but it's too late to keep it from crashing because it flew the entire time since I first hit "spawn". It's like a bad joke: "Oh you want to spawn in a plane? Maybe you will..Maybe you already are, but whoops too bad, enjoy watching yourself crash!"
Please select your region Europe
In what game mode did the bug occur? Operations
AMD or Nvidia Model Number
Enter RAM memory size in GB

    I also know this problem, it happens only on the start of a match. And that's probably not a Bug, it's simply the issue that the Game sometimes needs longer to load into the Map and all their graphics ect.

    That's why it's sometimes kinda laggy on the beginning, during the match it shouldn't be a problem. 🙂

    Well, thanks for your answer, but it was not very helpful. Now I only know the root of the problem, which doesn't make it go away. Shouldn't the console versions be optimized enough by now, so this doesn't happen? Your solution would be to avoid planes at the start of the match? Wow, really great advice.
    We all payed a fair amount for this game, can we not expect some quality for that? Sorry if I sound salty, but there must be more to be done about this?

    I know it doesn't solve the problem but that's something we can't help with, in the forum. Cause we're just normal players like you, who try to help out each other. 🙂

    In a case like that, i don't know if that can get fixed with a BF1 patch or it's something with the Console itself.
    I can just say i play on the normal PS4 and know this problem as well, other friends play on PS4 Pro and didn't really mention a issue like that. Cause it loads all the stuff faster and works really well. (I don't know if your on the normal PS4 or Pro.)

    Well, thanks anyways Travis. So, this is not the right place to report this issue? Do DICE employees even check this page for any reports? If not, can you recommend a way to reach them?
