What happens if you have a 50,000 ton ship with major damage in a 50 point repair yard that has taken 10-20 points of damage in an air raid? Can the 50,000 ton ship still repair that major damage?

Only undamaged repair shipyard points can repair.

Only undamaged repair shipyard points can repair.

That seems unecessarily harsh. So a 100 point shipyard can't even contribute to the repair of a cruiser or DD if the yard has been damaged by an air raid?

Two suggestions:

One, to repair a X ton sized ship, the yard needs to have X number of undamaged repair points.

Or two, greatly reduce the cost of repairing a factory/resource point from what it is in WitP.

Otherwise repair yards are useless once they are in LBA range, expecially late in the game.

Esteban ... Key word here is undamaged .... if a 50 point repair yard took 15 points damage in a raid ...35 points would still be available to repair ships. Perfectly in-line with your first suggestion.

Don .. does weapon/device repair require an object from the device pool? I.e if a dutch 533 torpedoe tube is damaged on a sub do we have to wait for a device from the pool to become available before repairs commence?
