Vanilla factions´s repair rate

Jump back to quoted post27 Apr 2017, 08:25 AMMr.Smith

Sturmpios cost 50% extra MP. Therefore, they should repair 50% faster.

I would be carefuld with nerfing WFA rep speed.

The adwantage with EFA pios is that they are ass-cheap. you can use them in lategame to harrass, cap, scout and build stuff. The investment in a sturmpio is huge for OKW. and in long games you have to do it already anyway.

i would also suggest the minesweeper to buff the EFA sappers a bit, but not too much. Maybe like 20-30%

Sappers and REs are not cheap lol? That is why Smith suggested a 50% faster repair rate for Sturmpioneers since they cost 50% more.

Could we pay 50% more to upgrade RE's to an equally effective combat unit to the Sturmpios, one that can lay mines, make heavy barbed wire, get a no-side-tech-cost shrek, and put away mine sweeper when not needed?

"Elite rear echelons" lol. There was if I'm not mistaken an automatic m1 carbine in very limited use at the end of the war. But that would never happen, and it'd just be odd. On sturmpios though, I don't think that the best combat engineers in the faction with the heaviest heavy tanks should be able to repair said tanks in the time it takes me to repair a Sherman.

Me neither. Although the sherman can repair itself..

Soviets have some doctrinal repair options like cheap self-repair

That one is deceptively cheap. I never understood why it cut down your muni income by half for the duration of the ability and for each instance you are using it.

Soviets have some doctrinal repair options like cheap self-repair or cons repair kit or repair stations. Ost has nothing but pioneers, and this is the problem imo

Be fine with OKW keeping the Sturm pioneers repair rate while toning down the Mechanized Truck repair rate given they're expensive and have high pop cap. I would argue keeping RE repair rate the same due USF having paper tanks with only the Pershing being it's sole heavy medium tank and a high repair rate would compensate for their fragile tanks. UKF definitely need to be toned down however I'm not certain about Anvil as the Churchill being a meat shield needs to have high HP to be good as it's sole job so Sappers need the repair speed to keep it operational.

In case you forgot,their tank crews can repair crits and their own tanks.
