Why has the ship repair system changed?

[Torchfire]

The recent unanounced changes outright cost me several ships in naval matches over the past couple of days. Particularly to no longer being able to cancel system repairs when on fire or flooding.

Also, why do those now trigger automatically when any damage is received as opposed to manually, how they used to work?
And, for that matter, what's the point of the game still showing as if automatic/manual repairs are still togglable, if they're all automatic now?

These make naval matches a LOT more annoying to deal with.

I played a bunch of naval matches recently, including one just before writing this. Repairs just don't work like how they used to.
And it's driving me crazy.

Not to my knowledge. Pressing the repair/fire/flood buttons still seem to toggle between manual and automatic. But even at manual, they will ALWAYS trigger when any damage is received, and then, they just can't be cancelled at all. The indicator does it's spinny thing, like it normally does, but then nothing happens and repairs continue.

I played both 4.7-5.0 Britsh ships, as well 6.0 American ones in the past couple of days. And seen this in every single match.

They're not. I specifically only keep the fire one on auto, the other two on manual.
The thing is, that this no longer does anything. Even when set to manual, they still trigger automatically.

I think this happens mostly when your ship is already shot up and barely afloat and your crew next to non existing, when repair times tend to show any number above 30 seconds, sometimes with 2 or even three repair cycles shown next to the fire extinguishing one.

At least that's my observation, usually by then your ship is done anyway.
