There is a great deal of disagreement on vehicle power scaling, either it's too difficult for new players, or we have sweaties going 80-3.

There is a very simple solution to this - if you spawn in a vehicle and die, you are blocked from spawning in that vehicle type for 10 seconds after it becomes available for the next 3 times it spawns.

There are literally no downsides to this. The only people who won't like it are the losers that sit there spamming the spawn screen all game.

Now if you manage to kill that 50-0 little bird, he can't immediately respawn in it 30 seconds later and has to actually play the game like everybody else.

Not a bad pitch. A little rough around the edges and could use a little fine tuning but I see the vision. Not 100% sold though.

What happen to just find another match lol? Is that lost tech to gamers these days or something? I get the frustration but maybe I just have different mindset. As in:

If they are good in the vehicle, I don't even try to contest it with them and degrade the effectiveness of the team. They earned it and paid the same $70 as I did for the game, I shouldn't feel entitled to anything. First come first serve.

How would you improve this idea?

Beautiful idea. ESPECIALLY with aircraft, attack chopper/jets as those are sucked up instantly.

Isn't it preferable to improve vehicle distribution balance than forcing players to "find another match"?

Speaking of entitlement, isn't it entitled to hog a single vehicle type the entire match?

To improve what exactly? So instead of a clearly good helicopter duo that is ensuring our air superiority, you want some dumbo to have a chance and proceed to crash and waste an asset?

Being good in a vehicle is NOT entitlement. Entitlement is thinking that someone should give you the vehicle because they have been using it for "too long", all thanks to being good at said vehicle.

What exactly does this fix? The only thing I see here is a badly thought of system that will piss off every single vehcial player.

The downside is vehicle players will just leave the game when they die because they don’t have any interest in playing a ground game. You can’t force people to play something they don’t want. The game already has a big problem with people leaving and this will make it worse. Or worse you kill off a massive amount of the player base because vehicles players will find a game that doesn’t have moronic punishment systems for just playing the game.

Some people play battlefield to just use vehicle and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that even if they are going 50-0. Your complaints should be around the balance of vehicles not systems designed to piss off the people who play them.

Maybe just elaborate the intended guidelines a little more. Like does this apply to people with 20+ kills? What of you die with out getting a single kill? Things like that.

Or...best yet, people form a fucking line in front of every vehicle waiting for their turns and the battlefield is left with like 10 folks.
