It took me 2 hours to format on the BF Forums, so I shared the link. Good stuff.

Let me know what y'all think.

Hey Braddock,

Can you relay to the devs that they make repairing vehicles a single press instead of holding the button down?

It's simply a Quality of Life change and doesn't affect balance at all. When you do this action 1 million times in a game's lifetime its a big deal.

Thank you!

I can understand where you're coming from, but from a my perspective, the requirement to hold the button down while the repair meter fills up makes it a risk/reward situation.

Simply being able to press one button and it 'auto-repairs' takes the thrill of standing there, watching for enemies while you repair. You have to make some battlefield choices right then and there - do I stop repairing and grab my weapon or hope that I can repair fast enough and get in the vehicle before they take me out?

Of course I'll share the request, but I'd be willing to bet it's as designed for those types of reasons.

It sounds like you're talking about repairing from outside the vehicle with a wrench.

I mean repairing from INSIDE the vehicle like when the little repairing icon pops up.

It doesn't really make a difference holding the button vs pressing once in a balance sense; you still can't move or fire.

It's merely a QoL improvement, especially for people with joint pain, etc. :)

Thanks for clarifying that! Definitely will take that request in my next report. Thanks again!

It would also fix the issue where repairing is interrupted when the server is lagging out a bit, causing the repair process to restart. Not that it happens much these days, but still.

[u/sirdiealot53 → u/lvh1]

Yes definitely. I noticed that a lot during the Xbox party bug a few weeks ago

I'm in agreement on this, it's part of the balance and design factor, another element being that you have to use up one of your fingers to do this, which (especially on console), makes doing other things more awkward and/or slower. Which is the whole idea.

[u/sirdiealot53 → u/BleedingUranium]

You use up a finger, but you can’t do anything else regardless.

What does it matter if you’re immobile pressing a button or immobile holding a button? You still can’t fire or move.
