How does the tank in battle repair system work?
I cant find anything about this, and the mod or someone instantly closed my thread. That I posted about ps4 users.

This game mechanic seems VERY random, and its hard to catch on to how I know or does it depend on my crew skills?

The in battle repair system is where your tanks needs the *parts* upgrade. Once it has this upgrade any critical component on your tank that is knocked out like say your track or turret drive will be able to be repaired in combat instead of you just being screwed like in aircraft.

In this way hitting those systems will still cripple people but it wont knock them out of the fight indefinitly.

I dont understand what you mean? "The battle repair system is where your tanks needs the parts upgrade"?

In the modifications tree for each tank there is an upgrade called *Parts* It needs this upgrade to be able to repair those criticly damaged systems. If it doesnt have the upgrade a broken track will stay broken and so on.

Oh ok, and when you can repair, is because someone shot that area correct?

Its when that area is broken. Think if a plane got its engine shot up and that part stopped working.
So basicly if you took a shell there and that area is fully black. If this happens you should be able to repair it.

Oh ok, and another thing is, Im driving a T-28 tank, and when I select the BR-350A (MD5-fuse) ammo, how come when I get into the game, im defaulted to the regular ammo?

before you spawn, you must allocate how much of X ammo you want
by default you would have the maximum number of default rounds

what you do is you use the slider

I beileve right at the start of the match when you are picking the tank you want there should be a little slider for the ammo types just down the screen. So at default the tank will have half default ammo and half HE ammo.
Using these you should be able to allocate as much ammo as you want for any ammo type you have unlocked for that tank. So I could use say 20 APCR and 30 HE up until the max ammo limit for that tank. Or I could have a little bit of each ammo able to be unlocked.

You start with the max number of shells the tank can carry. So slide the slider down a little and you should be able to move the others up a little.

Ah! your right! I had to turn down the amount on the default to use the other stuff, didnt know this.

Where can I read about what crew skill does? Like the differents tabs within the window like "driver" "gunner" "tank commander" all these, again, its impossible to find information through google for these type of things.

They just released this today. Hit the community hub button and it should be the third or fourth box.

Also, dont ust those Md-5 Shells. They tend to detonate before the shot actually penetrates the target
