Please significantly increase the engi/pio/sapper/etc repair speeds for the following vehicles:

-Bike
-Jeep
-Ketten

Marginally increase the repair speeds for these vehicles:

-Bren Carrier
-Halftracks in general
-Light Vehicles in general


Currently, the time spent repairing a Jeep/Bike/Ketten by 100 HP is far better spent on repairing a Panther or Sherman by 100 HP. This is because tanks have much better weapons, are invulnerable to small arms fire, and take less *relative* damage from AT weapons.

The same applies to light vehicles, except by a lesser margin. Light vehicles can actually be useful in some situations.

In other words, due to current repair rates, some vehicles are "more worth it" to repair than others. Which is somewhat of a problem, especially for vetting the lesser vehicles.

The trouble with doing this is, of course, the potential for light vehicle spam. However, availability/high popcap should sort that out.

*edit*: alphabetizing failure.

  leave it is

Next patch will likely instigate a change in repairs.

EDIT* fucking gay ass  log into a different page and get some weird thread. Was viewing the Schrek thread and it posted here, totally didn't catch it i was in a hurry

^And now tell us how is that related to repairs.

i completely agree with burn on this post 

but to the OP, ketten and jeeps and light vehicles have much less health, there for take not much time at all to repair. the way i see it is if you have 5 pios, and a bike at low health and a tank at low health, if you have one pio fixing the bike, and 4 fixing the tank, they will both take the same amount of time. depending on how badly you need the bike, it's fine being repaired by one guy. plus put all 5 of those guys on the bike, and itll be up and running so quick, that you might as well repair it first so you can have that unit on the field faster.

I agree with light vehicles needing to be repaired faster than heavy vehicles. Directly scaled health repairs do not put much sense into repairing light vehicles first, as the heavy vehicles repair just as fast but are infinitely more useful.

[jackmccrack]

Why would you repair a light vehicle over a tank anyways?

[SaintPauli]

Repair rates are broken. Why would you repair anything with the current repair rates? It takes 1 pioneer 15min to repair 1 shot form an AT gun…
150 Dam @ 0.33 HP/sec X 0.5 when in green health = 900sec.

I dunno, I use PE so I don't repair anything!

[sgMisten]

Been thinking the same thing, after getting a couple of games in as PE, which is predominantly light vehicles. They get shot up so fast that at regular repair speeds even if you make it out of battle you take forever to get fixed up. I'll probably write up something about that in a bit.

I dunno..but I know it took at least 3-5mins to repair a jeep with 2 sapper squads with engineer specialty and something really seemed wrong about that.
