Can you do a segment on how repair costs are calculated.

[@matyas4878]

random number generator XD

[@MJRSoap]

Some AI or algorithm adjusts them every economy update (including SL/RP multipliers). Baiscily comes down to this; 1. Tank gets added, low costs when new because why would the STV 103 by op? 2. If tank does good go to step 3. Else, do nothing 3. Increase repair costs by some amount (litteraly nothing like 10sl to 10k) 4. Now only players that are good with it can use it so it looks like its still doing great. See step 3 untill no one can play it anymore.

The main thing I miss about the old secondary weapons menu was seeing the price of each load out. It would tell you immediately which bomb load was heaviest for a level bomber, for example, instead of having to do math while your plane auto-spawns without you having made a selection. The old menu was much more compact which was better, and it also took only one click to select a load out instead of having to double click, and even when you’ve made a choice in the new menu, it isn’t highlighted very well making it tough to know which loadout is actually chosen.

I must agree with Cò Cò about the secondary menu. If I may voice my personal problems with the secondary weapons menu, it is simply too cluttered and too difficult to discern what weapons are selected in each preset. It also takes longer to use and is less convenient as you have to open and close the menu rather than simply select a preset as with the old version. Further refinement of the menu including visuals would be greatly appreciated, and in the meantime I believe we should have an option in the settings menu to choose between the new and old version.

Is there a reason why the Swedish attacker A32A is labeled as a fighter in the game? In real life, it served as an attacker hence the first A in its name, which stands for "Attack".

I like the new loadout options, it's just that it's pretty complicated to figure out sometimes.

A suggestion for a new module with AA vehicles: Deploy Sandbags. This would represent a 'dug in' AA position like we see with the AI AA, providing a bit of hull protection and would disappear when the vehicle drives from the spot. It could be recharged at Capture Points. It could, of course, be given to other vehicles but I think AA is the most appropriate as they are IRL less mobile than tanks & IFVs.
