Repair Changes

1. Repair was removed from all units. This also means the Repair Bunker & Bergetiger was removed.
(For now, it may be coming back later)

2. Each vehicle has the ability to purchase a repair kit, the repair kit's repair rates are based on the unit type.
200 HP for light vehicles. 400 HP for medium vehicles. 600 HP for heavier vehicles. 1000 HP for extra heavy vehicles.

3. The repair kit costs vary from 10 Mun to 150 Mun, based on the unit. They only have one use but there's doctrines that expand this.

4. When triggered in game, your vehicle will be practically immobile and will reload significantly slower.
The repair durations are 60s/120s/180s/240s. Time it wisely.

Obviously this is all one big test, we expect and hope that you provide constructive feedback during the trial period rather than just bashing it. A lot of these modifiers and details are still subject to alteration, it is the community that can have a large impact on its future.

How you gain xp in EiR:R 006+

Vs Equal ranked TEAM (Adds all xp, averages)

Win: 20xp
Loss: 10xp

Modifiers:
per rank lower: -20% Xp
per rank higher: +20% Xp
Min 20% Xp
Max 200% Xp

eg, Im rank 5, playing a rank 3 TEAM
my modifiers are:
2 - 5 = -3 * 20% (60%) = 40% of win, loss, pp gain.

The last question to answer is, WHY DO I NEED TO GAIN XP and LEVEL?
In order to unlock your doctrine tiers, and advantage tiers, you need a corresponding xp rank as follows:

Xp Level 1 : Doctrine Tier 1 Unlocked
Xp Level 2 : Advantages Tier 1 Unlocked
Xp Level 3 : Doctrine Tier 2 Unlocked
Xp Level 4 : Advantages Tier 2 Unlocked
Xp Level 5 : Reinforcements Unlocked
Xp Level 6 : Doctrine Tier 3 Unlocked
Xp Level 7 : Advantages Tier 3 Unlocked
Xp Level 8 : Doctrine Tier 4 Unlocked

We hope to see you in game!
