Taking damage while using SU vehicle crew repair cause the ability to be stuck on so you cannot move the vehicle.

This one has been in the game for a while so im confused as to why it is still around. This loses games.

It most certainly is not.

The ability doesn't work in combat but they programmed it wrong so you cant turn it on or OFF in combat.

I think that is wanted behaviour.

Why would you make it so that your tank is permanently immobile and draining muni even if its getting hit with rifle fire until it is fully repaired?

it's a bug but it doesn't have a fix. it's the same reason that the ambulance doesn't have a toggle ability anymore; the same thing happened when the area it was in was decaped.

To force you to use it tactically - if you could toggle it off then there would be no risk to using it close to the front lines (aside from not getting a full return for your Muni). This way you're forced to use it to repair your tanks in a safe place or risk losing them (just like USF or OKW Elite Armor Ability).

On a side note tanks are immune to rifle fire so that wouldn't affect it.

Fair enough, though the description/tool tip should reflect this.

Incorrect. Being aggro'd by anything puts it in combat which freezes it if it was repairing.

I think it's a hold over from pre-WFA. Before vehicle crews for USF it was considered a valid effect/risk.

But it's a programming issue, the toggle itself is flagged to be disabled when the unit is in combat. There are workable changes, but they'd require reworking the ability, which is beyond Relic's scope (based on precedence.)

The fact that the vehicle is immobile and incapable of fighting has always seemed a little much and it never made complete sense. A pioneer shooting at max range will permanently disable the vehicle until it's out of combat for a nominal time period again.

Considering a lot of things can shoot outside their sight range, any kind of ambush on a self repairing vehicle is devastating. Treat vehicle crew repair as you would reloading a Sturmpanzer.

Jaegers and Fallschirms have effectively deleted my self repairing IS-2s many a time until I stopped using it in favor of just keeping engineers around and alive.

Spamming repair stations as I do, I have grown to detest maintaining large armor groups with 2-3 engi.

If only that was on more than one doctrine.
