Spawn points of vehicles illogical and too far away... | Forums

[Sentinel-_-EU]

Today a mission failed because I accidentally mistook an enemy helicopter on my map for the helicopter provided by the rebels.

It is very illogical that the requested vehicles are always spawn too far away. Normal would be a spawn point in an environment of 10 meters.

For me it was the mission to get the cartel priest out of the church.

This mission is very time consuming because you are not allowed to be seen. So the enemies have to be eliminated step by step.

When such a thing destroys a mission that you've almost done and spent a lot of time on, it's annoying and frustrating.

My request to the developers that in future updates this completely meaningless spawning will be eliminated and vehicles within a radius of 10 meters spawn.

And by the way. Once a requested helicopter spawn on a rock that could not be reached.

Totally understand your frustration . I think the following clip perfectly explains your point https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mDRcR0VeO0

Plenty of shirts have been given for this issue with plenty of feedbacks and videos for proof and yet... NOTHING!

So, at this juncture and state of the game, you either quit or play the game as is... sad but true and this behavior won't change any time soon either.

It's even better when the vehicles end up in a wall and already smoking from the damage ...

The other day I called in a plane while inside a base in like Mojocoyo or Media Luna, anyway, the point is that the base was surrounded by empty fields and the game decides to spawn the plane inside the walls. I said, okay, I'll try again, I left the base and went to the middle of a field. Had nothing around me for 100m in each direction. The plane spawns on top of the last one and explodes.

What is the game prioritizing as ideal vehicle spawn locations? Obviously not clear, flat land.

Just another brainless Design Decision. Instead of giving us Flares to mark a Spawn Point they made it a Random Spawn with everything possible, from spawning on your Head and killing you, to a far, far away Vehicle you'll never find. I even saw Helicopters appear inside a Building.

That’s pretty much a perfect solution. You don’t actually even need the flare since it’s summoned from the same command wheel that you direct you team or target mortars. We’d just be targeting a vehicle instead.

I thought there was a bit of a void in the single player game for helicopter extractions. This would fill that since you could make your way to the top of a building and target the chopper to ‘land’ right there.

Take your Time. It's only just 1 1/2 Years since Release. No need to hurry.

^ LOL

The best one I've experienced was a repeated riverside call for a vehicle drop turning into an entertaining repeated riverside call for a vehicle catapult 100m through the air into the middle of the river. Uhhhhh… huhuhuhuhuhuhuh… Thanks?

***Exercise extreme vigilance when requesting oversized vehicles (ie. Blackhawk) in Ghost Mode.

I also love it when you request a helicopter and it spawns with the rotor blades wrapped around a utility pole. Uhhhhh… huhuhuhuhuhuhuh… OK Guys! Get in!
