unscrewing and screwing bolts
I have car mechanic simulator and the bolts unscrewing is so slow and monotonous that car mechanic sim at least had faster bolt removal then this game plus it actually went with the bolt as you were unscrewing and screwing it in. Its so tedious to makes the game unplayable because I have to wait forever on your stupid animation to unscrew the bolts and screw them back in when in other sims like this it does it when you hold the mouse down.

look up other topics covering this same issue. you can get some ideas of why it's like this and how to deal with it.

^^This.

You can also deselect the part currently undergoing the assembly/disassembly animation and select other parts to work on while you wait.

If it's any consolation, if you invest your skill points into getting assistants on the skill tree, it makes bolt removal a lot more bearable.

I haven't seen a skill tree.

Ah, you haven't been playing for long, then... Well, I'm sure you know that you get "Merit Points" for successfully completing missions. Once you get enough, you will get promoted, and you will be presented with a skill tree with some points to spend. You can only upgrade your skill tree whenever you get a promotion.

(Quick Tip: Invest in the Assistants and the upgrades that grant you more time in the timed missions first, this will save you a lot of time and stress.)

The bolts take to long to unscrew and then bolt back in. That's why I haven't been playing much.

Here's main difference between CMS and PMS (omg, PlayWay, you should probably rename it into Airplane/Warplane Mechanic Simulator, it baffles me that nobody thought about what abbreviation would look like):
CMS: While you're unscrewing bolts, you're busy doing that and nothing else. It's saved by the fact that (a) speed can be increased with skill upgrades and (b) half of the bolts isn't even there.
PMS: You can mark all the bolts and nuts by holding left mouse button and swiping over them, then right-click and mark next part for removal, or switch to inspection mode and check other parts to see if you even need to remove them. Or even get out completely and go refill oil/coolant or refuel. You can also remove parts without bolts (spark plugs, valves, this kind of stuff) at the same time as bolts get unscrewed in the background. With skill upgrades, you get assistants as well, which means up to 5 bolts can be unscrewed at the same time.

If you think bolts are monotonous, wait until you 'll be patching holes in a Spitfire.

It amazed me how the number of bullet holes in the Spitfire didn't lead to more parts having to be replaced, instead of concentrating on rearming the machine guns each and every time. That bird was like Swiss cheese towards the end.
