It is possible for players to respawn in an aircraft immediately after getting shot down? I thought that’s what happened to me anyway. I shot a guy down (towards enemy resupply) and he immediately respawned in a fresh aircraft and came after me and shot me down. Had it been another player I wouldn’t have complained, but I hope you’ll agree this is kinda lame.

Yes you can have multiple seperate aircraft squads and there’s no delay respawning in another if it is available.
Thanks for the confirmation.
So yes, revenge killing this way is not very cash money. A respawn cooldown is perhaps in order.
Presumably he came back in a fighter - or possibly as a awfully unmanouverable strike a/c such as a 110 or Il-2 - so you got a “free hit” on a defenseless bomber, and are complaining about what?
clearly you are not uncapable of shooting down a/c - wondering what your complaint actual is - that he can still play the game? How about if he came back as an engineer built an AA and shot you down - is that better??
Or if another player now brought an a/c into that vehicle slot and shot you down…???
I will never understand why people think that htey should get some form of immunity after getting a kill…
For context, he damaged me slightly but I bested him. I was on my way back and literally no more than 10 seconds after he died he was behind me in a fresh aircraft (since I was between the enemy resupply point and the AO he spawned behind me).
I’m not saying it’s cheating or anything, I was just hoping we could agree that it’s lame – basically entering the same dogfight in a fresh aircraft after he’d been shot down.
Oo, sneaky edit. No, you’re right in all that you say. It’s just the immediateness. Let’s say for the sake of argument (even though it’s impossible) that a guy you shot down switched to another guy in his squad in an AA gun and shot you down. It’s the time factor that makes it lame. It’s entering the same dogfight in a fresh aircraft, instead of after a short time coming after me and starting a new dogfight, if you understand me.
Yeah sorry about the edit… but not really - I thought it was worth expanding more.
but another player could immediately enter the dogfight with a fresh aircraft too… and that will always be the case unless there is a system for repairing a/c.
Right, but another player wouldn’t immediately know where I was and come after me.
Depends how situationally aware they are.
Also I know I’ve specifically spawned a fighter right after being killed on the ground with the intent of fixing that f@#%$@#$er and knowing pretty much where they will be right after the comb/rocket run - should that have a timer on it?
Yeah this really needs a timer on it, as it stands one of the fastest ways to get kills is just suicide after you’ve dropped payload and spawn into something else rather than going to respawn - it allows yourself or someone else to take the slot immediately and do exactly the same thing.
Bombing runs are just silly at the moment.
To be fair I can count on two hands how many times I’ve killed a bomber that has racked up 50 kills in the first two minutes, which then shoot down their own plane while they are in the middle of crashing, and immediately spawn in a fighter just to tail and kill you. It’s fckn BS and anyone who does this should honestly get banned if that was a thing.
Why should htey be banned - 'cos you don’t like it?
What a ridiculous proposal!

No because they’re screwing with the mechanics to avoid getting a death or someone else getting a kill.
For real, just assume that while he was crashing he radioed his fighter escort, which is a completely different squad and told them your location.
It really isn’t cheese.

That’s the suicide thing right? But they die anyway - the reason you suicide in enlisted is that it is a fast paced game and taking 10-15 seconds to die in a plane is a waste of time - time is XP and time is grind.
It’s not “screwing with mechanics” at all - it is an entirely sensible response to the nature of the game.
And if it was really the suicide mechanic you are annoyed at then why mention them coming back for the revenge kill at all??
there’s certainly a discussion to be had around suiciding - but that wasn’t what you were really complaining about! 
Revenge killing is a factor in all games where there’s respawns - ain’t ever going to go away.

You are completely missing or neglecting what I am saying. I jump out of my plane too since it kills me faster and the enemy still gets the kill anyways. I’m talking about people who specifically shoot at their OWN plane making whoever shot them down NOT get the kill making them lose out on 350 XP.

Wow I’ve never seen that before.
Nahh, there’s knowing and there’s finding out.
I absolutely agree, but there’s a difference between firefights and dogfights. Firefights are chaotic and fast, respawning to get the same guy doesn’t stand out as much because people are basically running all over the place anyway, and if you stay in the same spot too long, that’s on you.
In a dogfight, however, you’re sort of detached from the rest of the battle, out in the open, you’re facing only one other enemy, and it takes a lot longer to take someone down. If you get shot down as a result of a 1+ minute long firefight, accept it.
Time factor: in the example I gave above, a 30 seconds respawn would have made a HUGE difference. I would have been a lot farther away, and he would have had to come find me to have a second dogfight. Whole different story.
Also, as a bomber you can’t be your own fighter escort. And while my spiteful friend is having his fun immediately respawning into the air, other players of his team will be looking at their aircraft squad wondering why they haven’t been able to fly this whole game.
A simple 30 second respawn timer is not a bad idea at all.
I meant dogfight. (how do I edit?)
I do that all the time its normal
Sorry I dont get the point. Maybe I am too old.
You kill someone, the chance that he/she will kill you at some point in the battle is given.
So what?
Fact is, if you have premium you can have two planes ot two tanks.
If no one grabs the free slot after your death you are free to spawn your second vehicle.
Same goes for the enemy.
If you meet him/her in the sky destroy the second plane again. You cant? Take your second plane, like he/she did. You have no premium time active? Welcome to free to play games, it is not a bug its a feature.
Long story short. Simple disagree.
