The spawn time depends on the server. If I create servers, I make the spawn time 5-10 seconds. 20 seconds is longer than average. I wouldn't play on a server with 20 second spawn times.
The controls on the vehicles are what Battlefield 1942 are famous for (especially the airplanes). They're nearly perfect. The airplane controls are simply unrivalled. One thing to point out: it takes a TON of practice to fly them. It took me a month of playing to be able to fly a plane decently. Once ya "get the hang of it" (and yes, I did simply open BF one day and found myself flying good), the controls are absolutely amazing.
Even harder to master are the helicopters in the Desert Combat mod. The harder it is to learn, the better they are for masters.
Trust me, when I first played it, I was frustrated because I kept getting my ass kicked by the airplane physics. Keep practicing and you'll get the hang of it...and be dive bombing tanks in no time! Play on servers with shorter spawn times as well...I can't stand that 20 second crap.
