Restrict spawning as CAS at the beginning of the matches

In it’s current state, spawning system allows players to spawn in aircraft, that can serve as Close Air Support. These vehicles are loaded with bombs, missiles and cannons that are devastating to the infantry on the ground. Under normal circumstances, these vehicles can be countered by other aircraft or by emplacements built by engineers.

These countermeasures however, cannot be emplyoed easilly at the beginning of the matches, where teams are rushing to either capture or defend their closest capture point. Even tough engineer could theoretically build AA emplacement at the beginning of the match, this doesnt ensure destruction of attacking aircraft before it is able to drop it’s ordinance. It also means that this engineer now cant place spawn points, which again, can prove critical to the success of the entire team.

This problem gets even worse on the maps, where the defending teams has only a single point to defend. In those situations, I’ve seen bomber kill most of my/enemy team in a single run and this can easilly make or a break a game, because one of the teams either gains or loses momentum of attack.

I propose disallowing spawning in CAS aircraft at the beginning of the match, so the beginning of the matches are more controlled and less dependent on whoever hits their bombs the best.

Finally, we had this restriction in War Thunder for years now and it served us well.

This is the only time I seen aircraft be successful in this game, blind dropping bombs on spawn points and objectives. Wholeheartedly agree with this suggestion.

i had the same idea, especially since how easy it is to wipe teams with the bf110 on normandy

Yeah, my experience on Normady made me both stop playing that campaign and make this post in the first place. This being said, I saw Stukas decimate soviet teams too.

i’ve flown both the p-38 and the bf110, it’s a night and day difference between the two CAS potential with the p-38 having to aim it’s rockets to around 1-3 kills on average while the 110 just has to aim somewhere and there is a high chance you can get 4 kills

It really is stupid how aircraft can get in the fight so fast. Many times already I have used my first spawn to bring out an engineer and set up AA, but before i can even build it i get bombed and locked out of playing engi for freaking ages to try it again.

hard support for this because its not fun getting locked out of an squad as they get killed at the start of the match by a full payload

I agree! It is not Cool to get Killed by Bombs from a Plane.

There are Crack Flyboy´s never ever grab a Gun. Only Flying…

And they laugh for doing easy Kills.
