Planes really need delayed spawning 30 sec to 1 min since that spawn bombing is anoying AF…

Nah, Give a 5-10 minute delay would be somewhat realistic!
I’m sure the soldiers who got bombed and strafed the second they showed up were annoyed too. Actually I think it’s safe to say they were terrified.
So you think this is implemented in a good way? It’s super annoying and planes are just broken and this point. I’ve seen people in my matches get 150+ kills by just using planes.

Try shooting them down.
Novel concept, I know.
Agreed. The game-start meta has devolved into “get away from the spawn point ASAP” and even then it’s a toss-up how many 10s of allies you will lose to the initial spawn-rape

The problem isn’t planes. It’s the fact that with a little map knowledge the enemy planes know EXACTLY where infantry are for skill-less kill harvesting.

I can do the same with a tank. Park myself out of reach of anyone and do a whole lot of skill-less kill harvesting.
Therefore I suggest we delay tank spawns by 30 minutes since tanks take longer to arrive in combat than planes do.
Let me guess, you get most of your kills in planes? There is no way to defend this broken planes if you not using it to your advantage

Tanks actually, followed by infantry, but sure, believe whatever fits your pathetic narrative.
Maybe airplanes just need to take off from an airfield. Otherwise just block their use. At least for the first minute or two.
There are ways to counter airplanes in later stages (even without actively doing anything, horrible controls, flight model and visibility tend to counter them well enough), but not when you’ve just spawned. You can’t even intercept them in an airplane of your own. It’s stupid, lazy game design and terrible gameplay.

I would say the delay needs to come from these 3 plane spammers. Seen quite a few do only this, just spam planes the entire game. Put a delay on the same player instantly spawning in planes over and over and over.

Planes are just beyond over powered right now. What really needs to happen is AA needs to be made more feasible/better. I would love to see AA Tanks but I’m afraid they’d be utter garbage like we’ve seen in BFV. I really hope Something is done and fast.

They aren’t overpowered, just broken in almost every way possible. It’s a fascinating combination of “too effective”, “unusable” and “painful”. The only thing they are truly good at is killing bots during first 20 seconds of the match.
AA is just bizarre though, that’s for sure. It doesn’t seem to do much of anything, meanwhile stray shots from bot infantry can completely mess up the airplane.

I have actually mentioned this before but an easy way of fixing the stupid spawn point bombing is to create a virtual spawn frontline, a line that stretches maybe 100m and spawn all units randomly on it. This would minimize the effect of spawn bombing since soldiers would be spread out from the beginning.

Guys my point is, its not executed well one way or another ok. Why there is for example no War Thunder mechanic, there no need to be spawn at all u can just play and when u grind some points like in tanks battles WT u could spawn a plane, throw the bombs and go back to airfield to land and get more bombs. Why there are stupid respawn points in the air? I mean there is no fun to play planes and there is no fun to get bombed 3 seconds after every respawn at the begining of the map i would like planes be more fun to play, like u could get better wiev maybe a better look from behind the plane and it really should have better manuvering it feels really crappy compared to WT but makes more delays between bombing and gaining points to spawn it.
