Question about repair

[kdrafa91]

Lets say i have a T2 destro with 200hp left, it is better to control+k him at base and reclaim or repair it?

Repair gives you 25% discount, around 94% for air units repaired at air staging. And they keep experience, which increases HP up to 50% and gives regen.

If you ctrl+k destro in water then you only get 40,5% of mass from it.
However if that is cybran destro and you walk with it on land then you will get 81% of mass
Also i have no idea what happens if you do reclaim instead of ctrl+k in water

Air staging only consumes energy btw

Usually best thing is to reclaim as you fight, and also you can kinda pull that destro back, it can still shoot at something that gets close or shoot at air with it's AA
maybe if you have a lot of engineers on your t2 navy factory then maybe can reclaim destro to get new destro out faster, but often you want your eco to be balanced and don't have too many engineers.
on some maps maybe you can split that destroyer away from main naval fight and go chase some submarines or stay somewhere to bombard land
if you are UEF and use shields or cybran and use stealth then it does make a lot of sence to just pull damaged unit back a little bit but still use them in the main fight.
And also best would be to pay attansion and pull them back again if they get targetted

If the unit is on the water/sub/seabed layers when it creates its wreckage its reclaim values are multiplied by 0.6. So even though reclaiming doesn't cause the sinking effect, reclaim values are still reduced.

Both numbers should be lower since t2 units leave less reclaim than t1
