How long it takes to repair a vehicle (after the big update)

OMG a tank player now has a slight inconvenience to using their bulletproof vehicle with a cannon and zero-recoil MG and magnified optics??? The horror.

Tbf in return it has like triple worse accuracy and dmg than a infantry machine gun.

And overheats in 3s

Here’s an elementary school math question for you to solve:

If a match lasts 10 minutes, and it take 1 minute to repair a tank that has 5 broken modules, what percentage of the match is the player spending his time repairing a damaged vehicle?

If a match ends in 10 minutes, and there are five objectives in a match… What’s the average amount of time spent attacking/defending each objective?

If an aircraft critically damages a tank with a bombs or rockets, how much time does it take to resupply the aircraft, and make another attempt at the same tank?

If your tank is critically damaged by an aircraft, and it takes you more than a minute to get your vehicle operational/combat ready… How much time do you think you have left, before the aircraft engages you for the 2nd time?

If it takes one minute to repair your vehicle, and your tank becomes immobilized/critically damaged for a second time… What percent of a ten minute match, has been spent repairing the vehicle?

If you’ve played the game… you might have noticed that the maps are relatively small, matches move VERY QUICKLY, and it’s not uncommon for there be chaos in every direction.

People complain about players NOT building rally points, and one of the reasons is because “it takes too much time”.

Yet… here we are with vehicles that require 6x +/- the amount of time to repair, before the player is ready to re-engage in a fast-paced battle.

Do you sincerely believe this is a good implementation for player-retention?
Do you think new players will enjoy spending all of their time repairing their light-armored tanks?
Or will new players simply stop using tanks, on account of how time-consuming it is to repair each individual module (while attempting to not get slaughtered in the process).
Or even worse… will new players even stick around? Or will they get annoyed and move on to other games?

Veteran players have a much higher probability of surviving during a repair… but that’s not really the issue here.
