Short spawn immortality

Suggestions

one of the most annoying things so far in this game is spawning your squad only to be killed half a second later by an enemy pilot that memorized your location.

when spawning, a squad should have short spawn protection (ex: 3, 5, 7 sec). This can be removed on rally points as building them close to enemies and rushing them with spawn immortality can be exploited.

main spawns give 2 seconds of protection

As doshskia said, it already exists, however, the way it’s implemented is unclear.
Some people speculate you loose the spawn protection the minute you aim your weapon. Some say you loose it based on your distance from the spawn. Some claim it’s just random.
What is clear, is that this duration is inconsistent - sometimes you get, say, 5 seconds, sometimes 3.
Devs should explain the way it works to avoid confusion.

Perhaps its similar to the way it works in War Thunder, the spawn protection timer is accelerated as soon as you begin to move. This is why some folks do not move their vehicle when they spawn in, just traverse the turret to try to shoot it out with the spawn campers. You get 10 seconds in WT so that’s worth 2 shots on avg reload time.

it’s already in the game and applies to main spawn only though no amount of spawn timer would protect the attacking force from an airstrike since they can just wait it out

i checked this and i can affirm that you lose regular spawn protection in 3 cases

  1. move 10m away from the regular spawn
  2. start shooting from the spawn
    same for bots
  3. explosions still kill you now even if you have protection, it wasn’t like that before

I fully agree the current spawn protection system is a mess and it should be reviewed together with the gray zone that favors too much spawnkill and spawns that sometimes like in Normandy for the allies are simply shooting ranges especially in invasion

  1. Correct.
  2. Shooting has nothing to do with spawn protection. 100% certain that people shoot me with protection and I can not kill them back.
  3. No they dont, when the spawn protection is off you die from explosions otherwise not. Numerous times I lived when I just spawned and seen body parts flying around.

for my part I don’t understand the fixed spawn protection, seriously when I pop, quite often get killed instantly by a tank or a plane or snipers, the protection I don’t know.

yesterday again on the moscow campaign, in invasion I’m with my assault squad I capture the base a guy arrives, it was impossible for me to kill him, full hit white… and of course he took out all my squad without any problem, "hello attackers, I arrive in immortal mode and I dislodge you without dying by taking me full shots of MP!

I agree, at least some time to undestand where you are should be given. Many time i spawn under air attack and that’s annoing. You spawn just to die.
