You can easily wait one minute. No problem there

Except during invasions where spawning is limited this was a problem.

I dont use planes. Disappointed to see infantry crying being used to balance combined arms aspects of the game. Next up are the tanks being nerfed for having machine guns, i suppose

Hardly
There are still planes. It’s just you have to play land based things initially as in combined arms. This isnt a huge deal but the plane boys sure are screaming about it. So you cant get 30 spawn kills, how is that bad? Sounds like positive gameplay
The “fix” is a band-aid fix that achieves very little other than cause people to stare at their screens for 60 seconds to spawn in a plane. Who would’ve predicted this, oh wait, I did. And it’s why I’ve been against this and any kind of spawn timer from day one.
There’s several other, and better solutions to this, that are both friendly in terms of retaining player immersion, and effective at stopping racking up ridiculous killstreak right off the bat, while at the same time not ruining entire matches(thinking of Conquest types here that can last only a few minutes) for a vehicle class considering a minute is incredibly valuable.
I agree that some change WAS necessary because yes, it WAS insane, but not this change. This change is daft. There is no reason to force people to wait a minute to play what they want to play.
Also see this:
It fixes the initial spam, it does not fix the overall problem.
Edit: See this for a better and more viable solution:
Changing spawns so they are over a wide radius rather than a concentrated area would be better, so would giving infantry and tanks spawn protection at the beginning of the game for 30 seconds, a one-time protection at the start that is, to avoid being bombed or rocketed into an alternate dimension.

As a plane user I see no issue here. I still know where and when to bomb.
But hey, good patch. It was indeed an issue, but for someone that fly the planes as me we don’t see no problem getting kills

Yet now you are forced to spend ages waiting in the main menu, hoping nobody with higher spawn priority takes the spawn away from you to suicide bomb or whatever. People who actually spend most of a match flying in planes got 10%, 20%, maybe even 30% (on fast conquest matches) of their playtime removed outright.
Was it the best solution ever? I’d say no. I like your idea and would like to see something like it BUT we now have the majority of players happy the spawn killing is gone whatever the solution as most players are just relieved with the minority now opposed to the solution. It’s not perfect but it tips to improved game play for most. Planes are not dead nor ruined, only nerfed out of the gate. Most are happy
The problem is instead of people asking for a more in-depth solution than a band-aid fix, it seems the majority is perfectly happy with outright gutting the playtime of some players instead of a better solution. Which is purely psychotic behaviour.
The band-aid fix is tolerable, but this SHOULD NOT be accepted as a permanent long-term fix. It’s astonishing so many people are perfectly OK with genuinely screwing over a part of the playerbase when we have actual viable solutions available that makes everyone happy.
Many were not happy with the way premiums were nerfed either but it was a solution and most are willing to accept it. Perhaps they will come up with a more in depth solution to planes or maybe theyll leave it saying “well most are happy now”
60 second wait time isn’t “gutting” any game play for anyone lol Go get a glass of water, use a bathroom, get a bag of chips, whatever. Light up a joint. Stuff like that bru lol

No lol, why would I wait, once I want to spawn a plane I do so. Nothing have changed to me. Just because there is a min delay? Let me place a spawn beacon then when I die I have the planes for all the match. Because I have 3 plane squads avaiable at all time. So yeah. Nothing changes to me
Most my matches I go with 0 deaths as a plane fighter where and when a min is 10 20 or 30 or what ever percent as match cut off? Srsly!??
Again besides the first push nothing have changed
Which each are limited to their own spawn limits, meanwhile most players only have 1 squad available. Don’t mistake those P2W shenanigans with actual balance issues. Try limiting yourself to only the attacker squad and see how that works out for ya.
And even if I had only one, Its rare I die as a plane. When I do it’s always my own fault.
This doesn’t change nothing. Just the start bomb spam. Overall it changes nothing to players that do master the plane controls.

You first must get into the plane. As said, you got spawn limits of 1 plane per type. A player can wait for the full 60 seconds and spawn in, not die and completely lock you out, unless you got higher spawn priority, in which case you will lock them out of playing with a plane
Are you playing the same game as I m?!. OK go with that hypothesis on such face paced game and tell me how many players you see waiting for a plane than we might have a discussion
You don’t see a problem with teams having their tickets artificially wiped at the beginning of each round? Fucking lol.

There is no way of telling how many players are actually waiting to spawn in. However, I regularly run into at least one competing player who also wants the plane spawn.
There is nothing wrong with people having a preference for a certain mode or playstyle. You wouldn’t say the same about lone soldier players or sniper mains or bomber mains either.
No one will miss people who judge others over their preferred method of playing.
