Wouldn't solve redline tanking, or sitting so close to the edge of your redline that you hop in, hop out.
Nice try, but it just wouldn't work.

Nice try, but it just wouldn't work. What about a rolling clock? If you are in it for 45 seconds and leave, the next time you enter you only get 15 seconds total and it starts on entrance, not after getting a kill. This means after 1 kill in the redline, you better keep out of it or you'll get eliminated. Then after each respawn, the total time authorized in the redline after a kill is cut in half. The first time you get 60 seconds, 2nd time 30 seconds, 3rd 15 seconds, 4th 7.5, etc, so if you kill someone more than 3 or 4 times and are subsequently killed yourself (or you are blown up in the redline because you don't leave it), you have to be sitting right on the edge of the redline in order to get out quickly enough.
While it MIGHT solve it that way, personally I am in favour of moving the redline back and simply killing anyond who kills someone while in their own redline.
1) Makes vehicular transport relevant, if you have to travel over a mountain and across 700m of grueling terrain, you are more likely to wait for the fella offering to ferry you back and forth from the spawn point.
2) Makes redlining your opponent a risk, not a tactical play. Currently once your redlined, you have had, if you move the redline further back and then give a safe spawn point, suddenly waiting for some hapless redberry to run into your sights is liability because your not where should be defending points, a well fit dropship can just fly right by and set up an FOB on map, you must now spend precious time scrambling back to defend the points your enemy is now hacking.
3) Stop people using the redline like a safe retreat, currently tanks, heavies and pretty much anything with a meaningful amount of EHP can sit on the fringes of their redline and disappear behind as sooj as they are in trouble, you can't follow them in, and waiting outside usually gets you sniped by a thales. By moving the redline back, you can sit on its fringes all you like, but you will be so far from the fight, you might as well be sat in the MCC twiddling you thumbs.
