I like that too but there's also the problem of team mates just camping at spawn for vehicles which leads to unbalanced teams or people stealing the enemies vehicles which also leads to some lobsided matches. The new way avoids that even if it doesn't really feel like classic battlefield.You basically sum it up for me. There's a ton of stuff I love in this game but there are a ton of issues. One thing I've really missed is just the feeling of getting vehicles from the ground. Yeah there are some issues with the enemy team camping but that really doesn't matter as much to me as the feeling of all these tanks, jets, and helicopters taking off. It just feels goddamn awesome and pure Battlefield. If I can't take off from an aircraft carrier, what's the point?
I'm sure dice also likes that unused vehicles aren't using up rendering budget also just sitting around on runways and at bases.
