Check box for spawning GV with engine running

[tf15pin]

I wish for a check box that would allow us to choose if our GV spawns with the engine on or off. I was spawn camping last night and it was like red flags popping up every time someone would spawn in because I could just listen for them. Since I get camped about as much as I camp I do not want to be on the receiving end of this.

In some scenarios spawning with the engine on is best and in others it is best to spawn with the engine off. For this reason I would like a check box in the hanger to choose to spawn engine on or off in a GV (similar to the formation box for bombers).

press e as soon as you spawn.  if you don't know this you deserve to get killed.

Even doing this you make noise for some amount of time. The engine shut down noise alone is enough to give away someone's position. I'm looking for the option of silent spawns like we used to have.

No, it is not. If you immediately shut down the engine, the enemy can and will never hear it.

True.  As soon as you click the spawn button in the hanger, hit your "E" key and you will spawn with the engine NOT running.

+1    it's a terrific wish.


Shouldn't have to press E after picking a direction...

A box like bombers have for formation would be nice.

per hitech himself.  if you shut down engine as soon as you spawn, no one will hear it.  there a 2 or 3 second delay due to lag.  that's why you get killed by invisible tanks while camping the hangar.

I tried it last night and Semp is correct.  I spawn and hit the "E" button, no engine noise.  They did not even know I was there.

This game is for every one that pays their 15 bucks.

I would like to see this option as well.  HTC said in a post that if you shut down your engine as soon as you spawn, no one will hear you.  Maybe it works that way on paper but in the real world, well the real game world it doesn't always work.

Do you even gv?  Never heard of you.....

Don't talk unless you have something to contribute

Yes I GV.  I fly bombers, fighters, drive all sorts of different vehicles, flown all sorts of different types of sorties, ran supplies for friendlies so they could stay in the fight, etc., etc.  I don't give a rip if you've heard of me or not...what difference does that make?  Your statement "Never heard of you..." shows you as arrogant and a bit contemptuous, as if someone's opinions don't matter just because you haven't heard of them.

I just figure if someone can't be bothered to press a single key upon spawning, and ask HTC to do unnecessary work because of it, perhaps they should just quit.

In the real game world it does always work because of the way it is programmed. There is a delay between your spawn action and the time the enemy gets his world updated, there is no way to cut that delay.
