Getting Past The Arcade Mindset...

[MACADEMIC]

Very good point. I'd like to see more realism too, what if you'd just have one life to live and to lose? However the new patch does not seem to account for that much. You respawn closer to the action than before, above and more visible, while (at least for me) it has become harder to identify a bogey close to the ground. This results in getting engaged from the ground immediately, no chance to observe first and make tactical choices. Perhaps we need a patch from the patch.
