Lmao apparently none of you have ever tried using the command panther that self spots makes all your teamates tanks better comes in a great doctrine. Or used a KT that almost guarantees a wiped infantry squad on the 2nd shot. Or a elephant or jagdt that can just camps in the middle of the 2v2 dota map that negates allied flanking cause it usually always ends up into a mid vp fight.

Or you don't know how to take your sturm squad and run it to the house guarding the fuel on almost every 2v2 map while the kubel is bleeding mp.

You tell me how you counter an elephant with a teamate using command panther?? you can't because there is no room to flank on most 2v2 maps and even if you could thanks to command panther they know your coming from its vision or cheap arty flares that can be used anywhere. Command panther literally pretty much makes allied tanks useless if who is using it is not completely brain dead.

as long as you have an okw team mate all you have to do is delay the game long enough. Double ost can be kind of week if you get AA because they rely a lot on the call ins. OKW nah they even have arty now for camp maps that is impossible to take out with flak truck guarding with out soviet precision strike.

Quite frankly if you did that this place would become an echochamber. Ignoring opinions that don't agree with your own doesn't help conversation.

Most things here are not quite right.
A) Crit repair does not repair a tank and is thereby not part of the discussion surrounding repair options/speed. It is however an entirely different problem which should have been addressed a long time ago either by removal or a price increase. The only thing that can be considered correct here is that USF might actually repair a medium tank faster since they do have the vehicle crew to do so and do not rely on a builder unit.
B) The point was regarding repair options for tanks. While again the t70 is problematic in its own right, it is not part of the argument. The bren carrier can as well not be used to enforce your point as it crutches on that ability since there is no repair available until the faction techs up.
C) There is one such option for each of those factions. For the brits it is part of 3 out of 8 commanders. For Soviets it is part of 3 out of 21 commanders. Both abilities render the tank combat ineffective and immobile which is why repair at the front is sorely ill-advised. Even more so with the Soviet ability since it does not conceal the tank as well.
D) Brist and Sovs have the same stock ability to repair in combat as Ostheer does and the same risks associated with it. The only differences are the ones covered in C) which are doctrinal. To take these into account has again got nothing to do with your inital point as it is akin claiming that Ostheer would have better ways to save their tanks with panzer technician.
The two exceptions are OKW (truck repair and increased repair speed with sweeper upgrade and better builders) and USF (vehicle crews).

I'd agree for Ostheer. OKW on the other hand has the single best repair unit in the game and t2 also provides additional repair with the tech building. If I'm not mistaken sturm pios are also the only builder unit to get an increased repair rate for equipping mine sweepers, which they can stow away to avoid any penalty to their damage. They also vet easier and are more likely to survive long enough to vet due to the received accuracy bonuses they receive (2x -23%, yes even higher than what rifles get (they also start off at a smaller target size 0.87, 0.97 rifles and all other builders 1) ). All in all they have a better survivability from the start that gets only better compared to all other builders. Maybe pios (and other builders) should start off at 0.87 target size as well. At least they'd be less likely to die.
