[@revolver265]

In a really old episode of Thunder Show, someone submitted a Maus sneaking up on a Hellcat (yes, seriously) before driving off a bridge above it and landing on it, doing visible damage, enough to cause the tank to start smoking and what appears to be light reflections of fire. Short answer: probably, by other tanks, assuming it wasn't removed.

[@Windows95__]

@@Appppy ik

[@nicoche4310]

Only for new player, which improves stats and increases the price. Balancement by Gaijin in a nutshell.

[@King63Kobra]

It's balancing with the intent to prevent players from playing foolishly. You cant just hop in your plane and go crash into an enemy tank because if you do you'll have to pay a repair cost. Basically it is insentive for the matches to play realistically. It ends up becoming a reward system if you perform well (if you don't lose the vehicle you don't have to pay for its repairs fully so any frags you got are basically worth double) and a punishment if you don't. It is balancing and it is good balancing, the issue is that rewards do not grow enough in size when you get to higher BR ranks so it quickly becomes a task to maintain your income

@@Tweaks____ Unless it’s a garbage aircraft, or Gaijin has ignored that it is either very good or very bad (in which case its rep cost should be lowered because it’s garbage at its BR) most aircraft have decently high repair costs and the high tier props and earliest jets always have the highest rep cost in their tech tree excluding a few vehicles like the MiG-21bis. I think all ground forces should have lower costs by like 25% than they do now, but that’s pretty much all that I would do since some vehicles are clearly better then what is at their BR, but they are too bad or ill-equipped to be at a higher BR.

This is spawn pushing, it’s an effective tactic that punishes teams that can’t defend or attack. If you have played games against bad teams or with a good team you’ll see that you get all the caps and you keep pushing until you reach their spawn because they can’t stop you.
