There are are several problems with Team Spawning in attack vehicles. You see an empty vehicle, spawn, and you are either Driver or in secondary as a Gunner. There are so many deaths at once in this game different squads will try to grab the same resource and end up in the same vehicle as another squad. If you don’t have a squad mate dead and spawning you will end up with someone who doesn’t use a mic that can’t call out enemies and you are not even sure they know how to spot. You can ask any player that has worked with a squad of people on VO-IP if it improves gameplay and they will say “YES”..
At this point it feels like you are fighting to keep your squad together if you try to support them with a vehicle. Especially on the first spawn of the game “which matters most”. I know that every one that doesn’t have a mic, has no friends, or trolls their team until they get their way will just disagree with the post.
If you have problems with removing team spawn in attack vehicles it is because you were late to spawn in you should have looked at the map to see vehicles were taken OR .. A.) spawned on a squad member, B.) switched to a different squad or C.) waited for an objective to be capped instead of walking and then complaining.
I am not going to say I am better then anyone, but sometimes people who have no clue of what they are doing will just spawn in and block you from being able to be effective squad player. There are several ways they can do it like not repairing “because they are not even engineer while using a vehicle”, just wanting transport and clueless on how effective vehicles can be in the right hands or they will hop out and run for cover at the first sign of danger leaving you with NO HELP.
You even have players that are very good at the game stay in the secondary seat and not shoot at enemies just because they feel they are entitled to have that vehicle for their squad. I have had several people who are in other squads who decide it is their vehicle that you spawned in the driver/pilot seat and they will have a squad mate troll you with C4 or by ramming you. This is because they feel entitled to it and refuse to use “first spawn first served”.
A lot of people complain on the forums that their squad-mates don’t spawn on them and this is very true. This is just the icing on the cake for your squad not being able to spawn on you. I will also dare you to hop out of a driver seat so your squad can at least spawn as ground support. Your vehicle will be stolen.
Some people will say removing Team-Spawn is a bad idea because the game is based on teamwork. For this I will say that a lot of people that I have seen on all platforms play for their self, play for their K/D, and don’t use a MIC “even though all consoles came with one and a mic for a PC is one of the cheapest things you could ever buy for a PC”.
People need to start making friends, playing with them, and quit being so anti-social. Battlelog has a friends list, platoons, and squad join for a reason right??? What is the point in having squads if you are fighting your team to use vehicles as a squad???
Do we have so many lonewolf players that we have to have this Team-Spawn that ruins gameplay? It doesn’t just ruin mine and my squads. It means that we have one extra vehicle that isn’t PTFO for the team because they don’t trust the gunner to be able to do their job without communication.
So really to make All Vehicles effective the vehicles below should be the only Team-Spawn Vehicles in and out of deployment.
1.) AMTRAC
2.) Z-9, Ka-60, and UH-1Y Venom “Transport Helicopters”
3.) AC-130
Any vehicle besides this should be squad spawn only inside and outside of deployment. If you are not in the same squad as the person who has spawned in a squad-spawn vehicle you should have to switch squads before you can spawn in it. This would allow for better grouping of squads and give more chance for players to communicate with VO-IP.
