Actually is pretty common to spawn and boom, surprise, you have an enemy tiger 1000 yards at your back. Make the spawn point dynamic, so they retreat with the presence of enemy ground forces, or do not allow GVs to aproach at less than X yards from the enemy spawn point. Personally I prefer the first option. For example, spawning at the first point of the line (spawn arrow) which range to any enemy GV is larger than X yards but closer to the original spawn point.

I used to play a FPS game and when you spawned it would ramdomly place you at anywhere from 4 to 8 different locations around the base you were attacking. The defenders couldn't (well at least had an extremely hard time) go out and hide behind something and toast you ever time you spawned. Just have your arrow pointing to the base you are spawning to but make where you spawn a random location around the field. That would be the best way IMO. Would also like to see them remove the NME Icon on the GV's. As it is now planes can spot your ICON. What good is trying to hide your GV from a plane if some huge red ICON is saying "Hey NME Plane Down here...Come bomb me" I think you should see the friendly ICONs so you will know who not to shoot at.

Spawn points should be deleted from map. And spawn departures should be only known from tower you are departing from. VH bases also should have all keypad direction spawn capability.

Agree with the principle of getting rid of spawn camping, but random spawn points would be a disaster for any type of organized GV mission. How would you like to be the M-3 that randomly spawns all alone with an enemy tank nearby while your supporting tanks spawn randomly on the other side of the base? Not a fun proposition!

Good point Hammer, I didn't consider the mission aspect of spawning. Maybe after selecting the base you want to spawn you were then given a choice to spawn at location a,b,c,d, kinda like picking what runway you want to take off from. I'm sure the small details could be worked out. If they ever decided to incorporate the basic idea.
