Please DICE dont do mid air spawn system in air superiority mode or similar modes. Remember Battle for Britain when 32 players stormed the hangards to take off with their planes it was a lot of fun. The mid air spawn takes out a lot of fun for lot of people imo. might as well make the plane fly automatically . That would be bad. So please no mid air spawn. make homebases . thanks hope you listen
@KYUSS_QOTSA Never was a fan of air superiority, but I think this is a brilliant idea! Having tens of people taking off in their planes, would be freaking AWESOME!
The mid air spawn is the only thing getting you in the air at all, when an ace is on the enemy team they are able to wipe the whole enemy team out of the sky while the rest of his teammates act as heat seeker sacrifices, playing decoy so all the fire isnt aimed at him. of course they are in it to get kills too but they really just get in the way for good pilots who could win the game with him and 2 other players to capture flags/ draw fire, as long as the enemy team is made up of the average air superiority player. Anyways after the ace clears the skies the decoys will be on the spawn camp, most likely the ace will too. If the planes spawned on the ground there would be no way you would get off the ground, you would die instantly. It would be the equivalent of hover camping in the attack choppers in bf3, no matter what you do you will die. Even if there was not an ace on the enemy team the better team would still spawn camp, i dont see the fun in it.
well it basically goes for all the modes, including conquest. there are lot of maps in BF4 where you spawn mid air. Battle for Britain was a map for BF 1942. OH and that map from Forgotten Hope (Crete) a mod for BF 1942, where 32 people took off in a bomber then parachuted down on the Island. that was epic. good times
Yep and no insta spawn in vehcles at all. The fun part of the game is actually going to the battlefield.
battle of britain map was so good i played that map 24 7,loved taking my 109 across the channel,it was a short trip across but it was epic.
check this out. this is the best thing ever happened in BF 1942 . The feeling that the whole team was in the bomber was amazing and awesome. it was FUN.

That’s one thing that I don’t think any game in the franchise was able to match - 1942 did the best job in creating fun vehicles. Even with boats and trucks, you were able to see other players sitting in the back. The trucks especially were really fun to sit inside - you had no idea what was going on outside unless you went into third person. A lot of vehicles felt more involved too, the driver for the boat had to lower the front himself. It was confusing for new players, but it made things more satisfying for the driver. Then you had carriers that could sink, which was amazing.
This is a great idea 
If you could have this as a homebase and/or just as a flag and jump from there into the battlefield? But the planes can destroy them, so they need come back after respawing.
Edit: but then there are zeplins !
I liked how in bf3 the planes spawned and took off on an airstrip and not just in the air, I know air spawns prevent plane hijacking but that’s part of the game…
Although you have a point this a mod of bf1942
Is that so? Instead of waiting on the landingstripe now is everyone waiting in the spawnscreen.
At least when they were waiting on the landing strip you knew there was a que
I didn’t like that you could wait for the vehicle in the spawn screen, especially in BF3. Sometimes I would wait on the landing strip, and the jet would get sniped from me right before I was able to get in… if you accidentally spawned in, you were better off just grabbing a tank or a jeep.
I’d enjoy it if they went back to the old system of getting in vehicles yourself. Maybe have AI controlled Anti-air guns at any uncapturable bases to discourage spawn killing.
thats the problem with BF4, DICE wanted to remove spawn plane killing or hijacking, granted it worked hurray. BUT it takes away again the fun factor. Sure i was angry when someone hijacked my plane but it was part of the game it made exciting moments. Dont make everything easy and dumbed down. Mid air spawn in BF1 wouldnt even fit in the design IMO. There was something special about spawning in the homebase and storming the planes and take off. And as said above it was awesome to look each other face in the vehicle
Stupid idea. Taking off is not the most fun part of air superiority.
The battle takes place in the air. There is no reason to include taking off. Being in the air when you spawn saves time and stops people baseraping.
The point of air superiority is to fight each other in the air. If you are playing air superiority because you like taking off, then perhaps you’re doing it wrong.
I also prefer taking off over spawning in the air. I’m glad that can be still done in BF4 in the maps of the Second Assault DLC! Also, preventing enemies from stealing the aircraft is easy: just make the vehicles team-locked at the spawn until some one enters them - this is how the Commander vehicle drop already works in BF4! Spawn killing is not an issue if the map is well designed with cover and AA-turrets at the base.
If a good pilot gets shot down, you can pretty much guarantee that people will be waiting for his plane to respawn so they can shoot him down before he takes off, regardless if they take damage or die trying to do so.
