T70's self-repair not useful after faust change

It used to be that you could pay 60 munitions to repair your T70 back to full health after getting fausted once (maybe even twice..?). That always seemed reasonable to me as you're paying 60 muni to counter a 25 muni ability.

After what I assume are the changes to how fausts and at-nades do damage, the T70 is left with 99% health and a damaged engine after using field repairs post-faust. This makes the ability basically worthless.

Two suggestions: either increase the health self-repair grants, or dramatically increase the health self-repair grants but make it immobilize the T70 in the same way that the doctrinal self-repair works.

However, I think the T70 should either receive increased damage (and have reduced armor) or cancel the ability if fired upon while the ability is active (even if it is just a rifle grenade or mortar shell).

Nah, it's most likely a percentages issue. Remember that it fixes up T-34s and SU-85s to full from almost nothing, and those have considerably more HP.

Somewhere there's a misplaced decimal point or something that's causing that last 1% to stay broken. Trick is, finding that bit of code doing it.
