Poll: Should aircraft spawn slower?

[imported_Tumbler]

I've been noticing that a successful AA attack doesn't yeild a lot of time without that aircraft in the air. With how hard it is to bring down helo's and jets in some cases should there be more time when you can depend on not having that helo/jet in the air?

Personally I fly the fighter jet as much as possible and am extremly successful with it. but if I'm shot down, or run into something, I am usually back in the air within 30 seconds. It seems kind of unfair because sometimes it takes the enemy an extreme amount of work to knock me out.

Should A/C spawn slower?

1. Yes. At least 2 minute before a new one will appear.

2. Yes. At least 5 min before a new one will appear.

3. No leave it as is.

I thnk they should leave it as it is.

All vehicles should spawn slower.

All vehicles should spawn slower.

I'm starting to feel this way as well. I think it's hurting gameplay when someone blows up a tank the person who died can just spawn at the right check point and be back in that tank in less than 30 seconds.

I wish there was more time for APC's and tanks as well. The jeeps, humvee, and other stuff is fine because it's not a big threat, but bringing an apc back to the front lines 1 min after the enemy blew it up makes the loss seems less important and it promotes tactics that are ridiculous. (Atm the tank is just a big vehicle to go kill enemys. If you die, just spawn and get a new one, repeat.)

With longer spawn times it would make engineers more important and possibly make Spec Ops overpowered. I hate those little @#$@# and their all purpose C4.

I vote slower. I'm getting very sick of the vehicles being in constant use- destroying them is meaningless.

Of course I think player spawning should happen only at uncappable flags too...

I vote slower, then there is less of a queue at the airfield, as they know it will be a while before respawn. Then I will find it easier to sneak in and pop c4 in the jet intakes.

[shadow_wolf]

slower definately. Who cares if you get shot down if a plane will just respawn 30 seconds later.

Looks like Yes/2m and No are in a dead heat.....

[jdogg88-Fed]

no they should leave it

i don't know about 2 minutes, certainly not 5 minutes. i selected the 2 minute one simply because (as many people have mentioned throughout the forums) it is a little ridiculous and frustrating the way someone can hold on to a vehicle the entire game because the current vehcle spawn time (25 seconds?) lets a killed driver respawn and get back to the vehicle pad just as it respawns. its particularly irritating with aircraft, since they can fly back into the fray really quickly.

i drive tanks a lot, and I know I do this all the time. with the current spawn setup, i see no reason not to. but if they changed the timer to a minute, it would at least give a slightly larger reward to the people who killed my tank. I also know how irritating it is for me when i manage to kill an enemy chopper with my tank, and he just comes back in a minute and wastes me.

5 minutes is a little much. that would totally change the dynamic of the game towards infantry combat (which i guess some people might want). imagine how much fewer vehicles you'd see if the time was cut down. imagine how frustrated you would be to see a n00b on your team grab the helo, fly 10 feet, and nosedive into the ground. there would be a lot more infighting for vehicles, thats for sure

for me, bf2 is all about the crazy vehicles. yes, cutting down the respawn time a bit might be an interesting experiment. but i wouldn't want to keep it too long. otherwise i might as well go play halo

they are fine the way they are
