So vehicles are a mobile spawn beacons for whole team ? Also you can repair it from the inside?!?!?! How is anyone supposed to destroy a tank without friendly tank even with 2-3 friends when the whole enemy team spawns in them. What I saw everyone can spawn in even the planes. so you just fly around and drop people down all around the maps. THAT is a joke really. Am I the only one who is beginning to have doubts about the game? I understand this makes it easyer to go as a team but having an TANKTRACK ((amtrack)) and even the planes enabling random spawn all around the maps makes the TEAM spawning too much. ---

Watch some Battlefield footage that is made by LevelCap, Matimio or JackFrags. I promise you that Tanks will be vulnerable to Soldiers and that only your squad members can spawn into your tank or plane. ---

I just watched a video of a 6man tank full of “blues” spawning in all game. Also when you play that tank smart how could you go down… ---

> [@KakeHC](#): > > I just watched a video of a 6man tank full of “blues” spawning in all game. Also when you play that tank smart how could you go down… Probably only with another tank. Seeing that each team will have the same amount of vehicles it should not be a problem. A well placed bombing run by a bomber and an attack by 5 Assaults should be enough to destroy that tank. ---

From what I’ve seen blueberries can only spawn into the heavy tanks and bombers. I’m fine with both of those. Are you fully aware of how the in-vehicle repairing works? There also seems to be plenty of ways to destroy tanks. ---

There is no auto heal, you can’t move when auto healing, it repairs I think 20 points at a time and if you take a single point of damage you have to start the process all over. All it is a BF4 Amtrac with no auto heal and a inside repair tool. Not to mention grenades (which is available to all soilders), AT launcher type weaponsbfor soilders, turrents, planes and other armour. ---

BF1 looks really different from BF4(my favourite so far) and youare right…there is also lack of mines/slams spawn beacons/ high buildings…if 3people inside tank keep repairing it will be impossible to be destroyed… we will see…i hope everything will be made to help strategy game and balance ---

The self repair mechanic is finely balanced imo. You can’t move, neither can you shoot while repairing. Also, for every 20HP, there’s a 5sec repair time, and if you get shot during that time or if you try to shoot, you won’t gain any HP and you will have to start over again. Also, only the driver/pilot can repair the vehicle from the inside. The passengers don’t have that ability as their kits don’t change to the tank/pilot class when they spawn into the vehicle. ---

Ok the self repair seems “cool” MEDICS can also repair. You guys think it is “OK” to have an airplanes for full team to spawn in? also do you understand what it means to have the baddest vehicles in game to be also a full team spawn points? ---

Yeah that’s bad I’ll admit. Except for heavy vehicles like bombers and behemoths, other vehicles should be squad spawn only. ---

I havent seen much gameplay. Can you still spawn on vehicles even if they are full? How many people can be in a vehicle? ---

The gunship, amtrac and attack boats are spawnpoints for the entire team in BF4. But if they are full you cant spawn on them. I have no problem with that. But every vehicle does seem a bit much. ---

After I have seen what you mean? What are you talking about? I’m assuming you’re referring to the spawn mechanic with the transport helis and attack boats in BF4? ---

But every vehicle does seem a bit much. Gunships are rarely there and most of the time they are full and not excatly a “spawnpoint”. Boats are not excactly the best spawn locations since youre in the water and neet to get out from there. Amtrack is not going to win a tank/lav in fair 1v1 fight. Transport helis also can’t destroy the whole team. Picture a tank in bf4 what constantly spawns enemy soldiers outside of it. ---

I would love a fully loaded tank with 6 people (and maybe some bystanders)… think of the kill feed for my bombing run. 😉 ---

If we only see 1 heavy tank per side on a map, I don’t see the problem. It’s just a beefier amtrack. [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/vehicles-as-a-spawn-point-and-self-repair/102166.md?page=2)
