No spawn area (safe zone) should have "eyes on" any flag (all maps)
Don't get me wrong, I used to love a good Base-rake (we will call it that for the children's sake) but since EA/DICE have included safe areas for Home Spawns, it is my opinion that no spawn area should have "eyes on" any flag (typically it is the first flag, A, E, or F in some cases).
PROBLEM 1: Players can sit in tanks or hide as recon and kill enemies at the first flag and you cannot get to them by flanking or any other means because you will get the 10 second countdown and the verbal warning: "Return to the combat area Soldier!". Even if you are able to get one Panzerfaust strike, for example, they can simply reverse a few meters, self-repair, and then roll forward and erase you (and your squad).
=======
- Fix suggestion one: Include a hill or series of buildings (depending on terrain of map) which blocks the view of any/all flags.
- Fix suggestion two: Include a countdown timer for them as well! Even if it is longer, like 45 seconds to leave their home spawn. In real life, this is akin to a Soldier refusing to deploy with his/her unit. No, you are not allowed to stay home, you must go to war, or go to jail. 🙂
In BF 1 it was the "Arty Truck", in BF 5 it is often the new "Star Wars" looking tank with 4 guns on the front (I believe they are intended for AA, but are primarily used against infantry).
PROBLEM 2: It has been reported on the EA/BF forums (https://forums.battlefield.com/en-us/categories/battlefield-v-general-discussion) that bomber planes have the ability to sprinkle AT mines even in the enemy spawn areas, meaning that as soon as new player spawns and jumps in jeep, they are blown up. I don't fly planes, so I am jealous ..lol but in all seriousness this should not be possible.. but since planes can fly out of bounds (or have a greater out of bounds limit) this is made possible. (Whoever flies bombers and has this specialization--AT Mines, should verify and record a video of this pesky tactic).
Thanks for reading.
