it’s so weird and un persistent. there is no way for me to explain in words how the system actually works.
many many times I sit there trying to get a tank, just to realise that my team mate got a tank and I didn’t even get the spawn sign on.
other times I wait for more than half of match. my team has no tanks and guess what? no tanks available
there are some irregularities that I have seen as well.
Sometimes it comes down to someone on the enemy team stealing your tank, other times it seems to be a bug.
I’ve been on maps with my tank fighting wave after wave of enemy tanks, they just kept respawning one after the other and it never stopped.
Lol… 3 months after release and the players are not told how vehicle respawns work exactly or exactly how cq scoring works in detail.
We’ve been diced.
if you’re talking about operations/rush they have the typical vehicle spawning in system, just a timer.
on conquest however, you have 2 vehicle spawn points most of the times ( depends on the map ), one at the spawn area and the other at the homeflag, at the start of the game, you can get 2 tanks to spawn in, if your team takes the homeflag which has the tank spawning icon ( which will be 100% of all your games ) the main tank spawning point is going to change from the main spawn to the homeflag that has the tank icon. Basically if one of the tanks die youll have to wait for the entire ( idk how many min it takes to spawn the tank ) and they should spawn in at the homeflag but if the enemy team takes your homeflag the spawning point will change back to the main spawning area, this will explain why sometimes the enemies or even your team will have so many tanks spawning in or tanks never spawning in.
TL;DR for conquest, it all depends on how frequently your homeflag is being capped.
It doesn’t. Sums it up perfectly. My team gets 1-2 tanks to start and that’s it. Meanwhile the other team has a heavy tank, a light tank, and an artillery truck at the same time by the halfway point. And I know I’ll have seen at least two of those blow up at least once.
There’s been issues with tank spawns for months and the majority of players don’t even know about it: https://www.bftracker.com/view.php?id=3026
This has been causing blow outs for ages. Sometimes your team has zero vehicles while the opposing team has up to 4…
It’s being addressed according to the CTE patch notes:
*Fixed issue where multiple tanks could become available to a team when they shouldn’t be.
However considering this has been ruining games for months and not being hot fixed ASAP is a complete fail in my eyes.
or they can just rework the current awful vehicle spawning system back to the bf4/bfh/bf3 version that would be nice.
ive noticed that if you hold the tank long enough and then die, you have the option to spawn another tank instantly. It seems unfair to anyone looking forward to trying the tank out for themselves.
^this. If u want a tank then your tanks have got to die AND u need to kill enemy tanks so it helps to Git Gud
Theres another side to the spawn bug where the enemy tank doesn’t have to die, but you always get 2 extra tanks as soon as your one blows up. Have a few clips of this happening. Your tank blows up, you hit respawn, there are 2 fresh tanks waiting for someone to select them. Spawn into another one, blow up, respawn, 2 fresh tanks again on the spawn screen again. This is definitely without enemy tanks dying.
tru not always but if they have 1 or more of yo team tanks then u def have to take em out!
I will post a video capture later to show you how this bug works sometimes
Please stop sitting at the spawn screen trying to take all the tanks. Your causing your team to lose. Also you might be surprised at how much fun playing the game is.
Please read before posting. This thread is about something else. But indeed nothing is more surprising fun being in a team with 0 vehicles vs 4 enemy heavy tanks
There is a bug. It’s been posted in several discussions here. Search for “tank spawn” or look here

PLEASE STOP sitting at the spawn screen trying to take all the tanks.
watch this video for proof. I wait for the tank. my team spawns in a tank. I never get the tank spawn button
I can’t think why your team is losing.
all you need to know is that it doesnt work.
I’m an idiot, and I am wrong.
Also, the issue with tank spawns, as already mentioned above, is going to be included in the next patch.
Bob Gnarly mentioned it, which is why I didn’t
