I think down the line it would be cool in bigger maps or in general for there to be an eject option for torn up planes. I feel like you guys are already planning for that so I will make a more realistic suggestion about item transitions. They feel very clunky and sometimes fail to produce the required item when pressing the correct button for ex. pressing 5 for an explosion pack can take up to 3 seconds to produce said item and sometimes it makes my hands bare.

i would like to agree…
but i figured something out that i don’t really like, and it’s the main reason why i’m going to tell you that this it’s not a good idea.
apparently, i’m not 100% sure, but right now i have the feels that vehicles calls “works” like this;
if there is someone as a pilot, still alive. no one else can spawn planes because of that guy still alive.
so, if you are not dead, no one else can spawn as plane. happended to me one month ago, my plane have been " destroyed ", crashed in a river, and i managed to get out from the airplane before it explode. doing that, i survived. and the problems appeared. the pilot closs can go almost anywhere. because they have different border " hitboxes ". so i was basically behind the enemy line
and i don’t know what happened, but during that match no one else of my team could spawn airplanes. i think it was because of me.
otherwise from my experience, i’ll tell you this:
you are not supposed to eject from your planes. it’s best if you die with it.
i have seen many times people from games that just eject from the airplane trying to capture a specific position, or bother behind the enemy lines wasting important tickets. i think you can already immaginate the ammount of troll people that will think about this " strat " for make videos about it. which i really don’t like. and i think that planes are supposed to do other things.
but about the parachute in general, i agree.
it’s good maybe for an upcoming fallschirmjäger units, or any other paratroopers units. ( if they will ever come out ) but not for the pilot.

I totally see what your saying, it might incentivize players to more often eject and that might take away from other players. I also agree that its quite annoying for pilots to go behind enemy lines and cause disruption , it would take away from the whole experience and just waste tickets. I LOVE the idea of paratroopers in the game!!! That would be amazing!

@ErikaKalkbrenner I agree with you for the most part, the plane unit should definitely open once the vehicle is destroyed, same with tanks, but it would be nice to be able to safely eject if your plane is badly damaged, or you simply don’t want to lose energy heading back for resupply then going again. I think it is actually a cool idea for a pilot to be able to drop behind enemy lines as happened on occasion, especially since they are seriously outgunned but jumping out of a fully loaded plane without damage should be penalised.
well, speaking in reality, it did occured sometimes where pilot found them selves behind enemy lines, but their duty was to survive, and return back the the friendly lines.
hardly they were supposed to disrupped the lines.
a better system would be like warthunder.
you eject from the planes, and you earn points for being survived, and you go back to the spawn screen.
because by being behind the enemy line, with large squads of AI and stuff, the pilot won’t be that much of a threat.
but it’s just me.
anyway, cheers ^^
