Vehicle Spawn Times

This is my first post on the forum, so hi all.

I've searched the forums and read the PR manual but couldn't find any specific information, so I'd like to know where I could find a listing or a breakdown of the initial spawn times for vehicles, and their corresponding respawn times should they be destroyed.

This information can be extremely valuable if you've just destroyed the enemy Cobra, for example. You know that it won't be back up for at least ______ minutes. Another example might be if you're manning a tank and want to know how quickly an enemy TOW HMMWV will be back in action.

If anyone could point me to some accurate numbers, I'd appreciate it. Great mod and community you guys got here by the way. :mrgreen:

It varys from map to map I believe. The max would be 30 minutes for more important stuff such as tanks and airplanes. Things like transports respawn rather quickly in 5-10 minutes, but every vehicle costs tickets so don't just waste them. Tow humvees and more important stuff usually take 20-30 minutes.

Yeah I thought it might vary by map. I'm looking for a specific listing for each vehicle type though.

Also, it's rare that I ever get killed in my tank, HMMWV, etc. Don't have to worry about me wasting them. 8-)

I'm afraid that not many people know since the PR guide is currently under re-construction.

iirc transport choppers = 5mins

tank might be 20mins, but I'm afraid I can't give you definable.

Don't worry you will die, plenty of times. its part of the game :D , what I meant was just don't waste them like leave them in the middle of the desert or crash it into a lake.

Like I said it depends on the map the Spawn time for the BH transport on Ramiel is longer than 5 minutes but its 5 minutes for them on kashan.

Beautiful. That's exactly what I was looking for, thank you very much.

Now I just need to track down what the initial spawn times are (for Cobra, Apache, jets, etc.).

That depends on the map. Some are even triggered by capturing a control point. Like the Littlebird in Korengal Valley.

Well its what it is. The attack choppers have a 20 minute spawn time. But since there is the 3 minute breifing timer it is actually a 17 minute spawn timer.

Pretty sure the round time doesn't start until the 3 minute briefing is over.

Then why do all jets, extra tanks, attack helos spawn at the 43'rd minute? Because the 3 min breifing does count.

Too fool you into thinking that the 3 minute briefing is part of the map time.

Ah, so those guys spawn at 43 minutes in. Good to know.
