The time to repair it how long it will take to repair the tank if you turn off automatic repairs

its not sadly, but you should have the SL to pay for it, if not, plat a different tank.

its a lot worse at higher tier, mines like 29 days

i think that means a free repair IN 22 hours not FOR 22 hours.

but either way it's not a big deal, below like 6.7 or so you just build up SL

This.

In case you go dirt ♥♥♥♥ poor and have no more money, it will take # hrs or days to repair your vehicle for free. But nobody ever used that feature Im sure.

If you leave it overnight, it is very useful. Especially if you play multiple nations and lineups, you can accumulate tens of thousands in repairs and get thousands back overnight.

if u put crew skill points into repair and repair rank, it'll cut down the time in half. And every second spend in the "free repair" lowers the SL cost. IF a tank costs 4k to repair and 22 hours for free repair, waiting 11 hours reduces the cost of repair to 2K .

No it ain't.
That's time to repair.
Read the stat card properly.

Ooooh I see, after you get a new vehicle you have a certain amount of times you can die with it and get a free repair, when that timer is up even if you haven’t used all your free repairs they just disappear, you must’ve used all your free repairs already

I can literally just leave it, play 1 game and then repair it after that game, like I give a crap about 6-10k SL repair costs lol.. better than waiting a whole ass day

There is no Timer for Free Repairs. The only timer you have is in how many hours/days your vehicle gets repaired for free

You don’t play 24/7, you will leave for hours eventually. That is what I meant. Plus the days you do it, it adds up.

You're the winner !
It seems we are only 2 using this spec.
So u mean there is a counter of free repairing before the free period ends (when u bought a new tank). that is answering me, thx.

Or like 2 high tier vehicles with elite status, if even that.

But for some math, say you play every day for 5 years. (Probably unlikely but the game is 10 years old so it rounds out the days you don’t play). If you accumulate just 5,000-10,000+ in repair — which one mid tier vehicle alone will do this, you can get way more than 5,000 — and assume perhaps on average that 2,000 repairs each day from the pool. 2,000 isn’t much, but it accumulates to over 3.6 million SL saved over your WT career. That is 3.6 million SL you cannot get though autorepair, 3.6 million you cannot spend on ‘half a free’, or 3.6 million you cannot spend on expensive repair vehicles.

3.6 Million SL I can grind literally in a week.
