I would like to suggest:

1: The ability to cancel repairs. Reason: players shouldn't be forced to repair in spawn or be unable to do anything when your repairing tank gets flanked. On a gameplay perspective you might at first think that this removes the ability to go behind enemy lines to hunt for tanks. But the player who cancels his repair still loses the repair. So the ability to cancel repairs is a convenience that should have been in from the start.

2: Repairs to repair 100% of the tank. Reason: There are always times when you have damaged engine repair at get stuck at 98% and still damaged engine, other times you repair at 5% health and only go up to 60% health. On a gameplay perspective: repairing a tank at low health is skillful maneuver that should be rewarded, yet because of how repair kits work, it's usually better to play it safe and always repair at 50%.

A.
Yes cancel repair should be a consideration.


B.
No repair kits shouldn't become max revives, sure its a disadvantage when it  happena to you, but then its the othwr team its a major advantage.

1. OK
2. Maybe for specific t4 for : Armor, Engies, Tank Hunters and Terror (Blitz have double repair) ?

[XIIcorps]

Armor has double mobile repairs
RSE has Ablative double repairs
TH has Repair kits
Blitz has double repairs.

Sounds prettt fair to me gary.

[Mister Schmidt]

Do you plan on coding this menace?

[GrayWolf]

Armor has double mobile repairs
RSE has Ablative double repairs
TH has Repair kits
Blitz has double repairs.

Tiger repairs 900 HP as a blitz unlock. KT not.

KT is the only vanilla super heavy.

[EliteGren]

KT is the only vanilla super heavy.

Yeah Jagdpanther is a medium tank

[XIIcorps]

Yeah Jagdpanther is a medium tank

its a Tank destroyer built on a medium chassis so your sarcasim attempt is actually factual.

The JT tho would be the other Super heavy.

[GrayWolf]

nvm, I'm not gonna participe in this conversation

XIICorps, I am actually shocked by your post. You are using a realism argument in all seriousness, after having been on these forums for so long. Why would I even be talking about the real life version of this tank, on this forum? It has always been considered to be a super heavy, even by Relic. And the JT is "the other" vanilla Super Heavy? Please elaborate, as I am curious about your views as to why the Jagdpanther is not a super heavy and how the Jagdtiger is "vanilla". (Hint: they're not)

Actually you don't have to answer those questions because they are rhetoric, as I am trying to make you understand how ridiculous your post was, even apart from the realism argument. The Jagdpanther is a super heavy and has always been, in this game. The Jagdtiger is a super heavy yes, but it is not 'the other' super heavy. The KT and JP have always been the 2 vanilla super heavies, there is no debating about it.

It's not an advantage for anyone and there is always a disadvantage to repair when damaged engine since you'll use up the repair.

Repair kits not repairing tanks fully means players repair their tanks early instead of taking the risk and using your tank til low HP. It's not a revive, it serves the purpose of repairing damaged parts of the tank over time, so of course that should include damaged engine, that's the entire point of having repairs.

There is also unbalance as some repair kits only repair 60% of the tank while others repair 100%.

Do you plan on coding this menace?

I am sure that nikomas, volksky or xeoniz will carefully consider, answer and resolve this issue if possible 

[Hicks58]

Should note that repair kits were changed back when I was Balance Lead to make sure that they repair a minimum of 75% HP across the board, some will do more than that, but none should be doing below 75% at this point.

Only things that'll throw that off is doctrines like Ablative Armour which add big chunks of HP, but standard health values should be good.

They'd have all done 75% HP, but that'd entail making a specific repair kit for every vehicle or a crap ton of exceptions in the currently existing 4 base repair kits per faction.

I agree repairs should be able to get canceled. But rather than having them repair fully, I would prefer a system that let's engineer type units buy repairs for fuel. This would also solve the issue of not getting a critical repaired. Mines have become so powerful since the repairkit system was introduced

Not fuel, if it was fuel the heavy tank companies would benefit immensively more than any other build type. If it has to be some resources I'd say munition, having ability to fix vehicles at a cost of pop, time and munition is more crippling than fuel.

Tanks need to have a ability that makes themselves detonate so that no immobilized vehicles or other vehicles sit there helplessly unable to do anything and the player can not kill it thus is crippled by pop.

[EliteGren]

Yeah meant to say muni, don't know why I wrote fuel. Also there was a thread about why berge should cost muni instead of fuel

Edit: Here it is

Im really indifferent about bergetiger. It is sort of a funky vehicle with single role, eats all the popcap and doesn't do anything aside of repair. It can shield wall from ATG cause tiger armor tho. Aside of that it is one of those vehicles you rarely see on use.

[TheWindCriesMary]

It's too expensive at the moment. 300+ fuel is crazy.

[terrapinsrock]

It's too expensive at the moment. 300+ fuel is crazy.

Plus its 16 pop, its just too expensive in resources and field presence

[Smokaz]

What do people think about making it munitions instead of fuel.
