The real problem with the new tank repair system

Suggestions

It’s the wrench. It keeps popping up when I’m trying to access other weapons and getting me in trouble.

I’ve noticed that when I throw a grenade or drop a mine with a soldier that has a repair kit; the wrench is the next item that gets pulled out automatically instead of the primary rifle.

It also tends to be the first thing a tanker equips when he jumps out of his tank, which can get me killed if there are enemy infantry nearby.

I suggest that the wrench only comes out when activating the repair function near a tank, and isn’t ever selected automatically when switching weapons or exiting a tank.

I never encountered this issue.
Console or PC?

this happen when you are engie player and you have a mine, unless you use it, the tools don’t appear

Maybe a control mapping issue? I haven’t experienced this. I’m on PS5

I’m playing on ps5, so it may be specific to consoles. I do find the problem is worst when trying to use mines

As I’ve noted on a few other posts, I think they are going to be adding more uses for the toolkit, to where you will need to have the wrench out for more than just repairing tanks. So:

This part I don’t necessarily agree with.

The rest of it, I do agree however, it should NOT be the priority item selected unless actually pressing the button for it.

I also have experienced that part, but that comes down to mapping issues predominately.

I think it would help if they allowed us to use combinations of buttons for mapping as well.
For example, I’m on Xbox, and find it very strange that I can’t map something like “LB + D-pad direction”.

That would help significantly with the controller mapping issues.
