Repair Speed Tweeked?

[WarGimp]

I could be wrong here, but has anyone noticed that the engineer's repair speed seems to have been accelerated since 1.12?

Last night I was part of a Blackhawk crew, joined as an engineer, we took some hits, I started fixing, and whoooooa! The repairs seemed to go about twice as fast as before! Ofcource this also ment I was getting more repair points that I've been used to.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Nawp!
It was the pilot, a gunner, 'n me when I noticed that the repair bar was moving way faster than expected. Nore was it a crate or someone on the ground ficing us either. We were too high and the speed remained constant no mater where we were.

After I first noticed, I was paying fairly close attention.

I think this is another undocumented tweek.
(You have noticed the changes to both the TV guided missile and M95 sights, yeah?)

so, generally, is the new patch good?

I haven't encountered a down side... other than sharing space with the SF packers. And having to make 3 gigs of free space on my C: to install it (BF2 being installed on the E: makes no differance).
Some people are reporting that the client verification seems to go lots faster. Not the case here, but my RAM is right up against the wall anyway.

I'm a little POed that I patched, but that the R2 server hasn't yet.

oh i see.

i think i'll upgrade it soon, and test those new SF guns out. =D
but i'll really hate it if everyone's spamming the flashbangs on karkand lol

Re: Repair Speed Tweeked?

I've only been flashed a few times and it's not that big a deal. Atleast with the flashbangs, you get a chance to run 'n hide while your eyes go back to normal. The way I see it, I'd rather get flashbanged than noob-toobed anyway.

But... we're wandering.

Re: Repair Speed Tweeked?

I haven't notice a difference in repair speeds - I'll have to pay closer attention.

Sharing space with the S-F'd players isn't bad at all. Most of the new guns are variations on the existing ones, so they don't bring much to the table. In particular, I spent the better part of two rounds of Karkand wiping the floor with some hotshot who had the new SCAR-L.
