On both Fjell and Rotterdam this happens intentional when all flags are capped by the enemy. Getting shot in your HQ for the rest of the gamd just didn't seem fun.

Thank you for commenting on this, I thought this was a bug similar to the one from BF1 where you just drop from the sky out of bounds when attempting to spawn a plane.

One question though: why is the spawn point in the sky?

So the player can parachute to a desired location. :) Honestly, it's just a simple way to break an all cap. If we could, we would have extended the map further to allow for more flanking from the HQ, but Rotterdam is on the performance limit of what was possible at the time of release.

Aren’t there other ways to navigate out of spawn

Possibly, but we couldn't extend Rotterdam any further for performance reasons. Rather have a solid way out of an all cap than being trapped in the HQ.

For one single soldier or..? Never seen this :|

Consider yourself lucky. You probably haven't been in a game were either team is owning all flags. To be fair tho, that's super rare in the first place. :)
