Hammer and cutting tool ?

[[Wahr] Eogard]

Hey,

So I renovated multiple tanks already and I wonder what's the point of the hammer and cutting tool ? Do they damage the part ? Are they faster than debolting manually ?

There is an achievement for using hammer on 500 parts so I'd rather be sure it's not destroying them (I'm not on my pc right now)

Honestly, I have no idea, cause I've never run into a situation where they are 100% required. Usually you very rarely ever have to actually remove parts, you can just Unrust, Sand, and Primer everything with only very rare few things having to be removed to get at items behind them. Such as some wheels for gears and gear boxes, and backs/trunks to get at fuel parts in the back. But other than those rare few things you just take off then put right back on when done, I've never needed to remove parts. So never needed to use Hammer or Grinder. They seem... Kinda pointless.

The hammer or grinder in cutting mode allow for a different way of disassembling parts sometimes a tank, like the tiger for example have very complex road wheel system, with many bolts.
If player does not want to unscrew all of them, and does not care about the state of the part, he can use the tool there to speed up things.
The disadvantage is that the part gets a bit damaged, so the player will need to pay more money to fix it.

So the player can't fix the broken parts himself ? I mean, the goal is to make profit right ? So having to pay money to fix parts when we can just use the basic tool is a bit weird imo, plus with upgrades it get quite fast. I renovated a Tiger VI at 100% that I excavate and never had an issue with bolts, just the basic tools.

Indeed not. Parts attached to the tank you can 'Fix', by Unrusting, Sanding, and Primering them. That's concidered 'Fixing' it. But the stuff you can't Unrust and says you need to replace, or parts you remove cause you don't want to manually use the tools yourself, you have to outsource or rebuy new. Luckily there are skills that quickly cut the price of outsourcing, tho the 1.75x doesn't change to reflect the price change. Best way to see it is to check the price, then buy the 10% first skill, or even going to the 25% second skill and then checking the price and noticing it's much smaller now. I was able to go from costing $10k, to $5kish price picking up one of those skills. Was worth the skill point.

You can reduce the cost of fixing things via the storage by 75%.
And it can be faster to just dissassmble things, especially when using the hammer/grinder.
In the End you get more money and prestige because you fix tanks faster.

The Tiger is a good example of a tank that is fixed way faster when using the angle grinder to remove all the wheel parts.
