There is still the same repair cost. Is this true? If so, I hope this gets fixed. Paying 175k for 15k health on a DD, and paying 175k for 69k health BB is ludicrous. It should be proportioned properly. Discuss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5 CraftyGun Beta Testers 23 posts 1,569 battles Report post #3 Posted October 4, 2015 Gearing has over a 200k repair bill when destroyed. I'm not at home right now so I can't confirm the exact cost, but if someone could do so it would be appreciated. You'd think that a ship with 20k hp would have a lower repair bill....

Here are the repair cost (For destroyed ship) for BB, CA and DD. New Mexico - 41,200 Cleveland - 34,000 Farragut - 29,900 Those numbers stayed the same for multiple battles.

Yet what's the health difference between the Farragut and NM? Around 30-40k right? Then the Farragut costs ~11k less that the NM to repair. Hmmm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then the Farragut costs ~11k less that the NM to repair. Hmmm After a lot of battles, that makes a big difference! I have 105 battles in my New Mexico due to going from tier 5 to tier 7 naturally. Assuming I was destroyed each battle (plz no), if I was driving a Farragut instead, I would have spent 1,186,500 less credits on repair costs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yet the Gearing repair = Montana repair And Fletcher repair = Iowa repair Hence why this thread exists. We're paying for 69k hp in a 15k hp ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're paying for 69k hp in a 15k hp ship. If that is true, that DDs and BBs in tiers 9/10 have identical repair costs, then it's likely a bug or something that at least needs addressed. Throughout the tiers DDs are cheaper to repair than other ship types, so that actually is concerning. I personally don't have a high tier DD to test this, but if true, then that's just not right. I see what you mean now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3,407 Compassghost Supertest Coordinator 7,223 posts 14,450 battles Report post #12 Posted October 4, 2015 There's a base repair cost associated with all ships that you pay even if you don't get damaged. For a T9 Baltimore it's about 20K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's only logical the Farragut has a fifth the repair cost. Why is it logical? You seem to be under the mistaken impression that the credits are actually being taken to repair your ship. This is false. The repair fees are there to drain our credits, forcing you to buy premium to advance at any reasonable rate as you tier up, and secondarily to balance progression between different lines while not addressing the difference in earning potential between classes.

BBs - nothing? BB main battery ammo is expensive AF. I can run up a 70k ammo bill on Yamato easily. Edit: speaking to the classes I know about, cruiser base repair fee is about half that of a BB, while cruiser max repair fee is~30-40k cheaper than that of a BB. Cruiser main battery ammo, on the other hand, is extremely cheap compared to a BB. Edited October 5, 2015 by issm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The base repair cost is added to the full repair cost... Comparing a destroyed Yamato's repair cost to a destroyed Gearing's repair cost doesn't mean much if you don't take out the take-out cost.

It's only logical the Farragut has a fifth the repair cost. The differences could be based on a different kind of logic, though no less valid. You've doubtless heard the repair cost described as a "fun tax". I'm thinking it's a "tax" based on a percentage of the average payout for a ship, (likely determined in CBT) then possibly adjusted by tier to make it easier for beginners.
