What excately do the Mechanics excately do?

[Voop_Bakon]

Obviously they can repair, but by salvage do you actually mean like the bergtiger from the PE? I mean I cant think of anything else, but I cant imagine infantry salvaging an ISU-152 wreckage

Mechanics

You can now call in a squad of Mechanics, who can repair and salvage.

1) Axis Infantry, Pioneers

Salvage Wrecks: 

# Cost of Use: *Free* Obtain +5 Munitions every 5 seconds

2) Vehicle:Bergetiger Repair and Recovery Vehicle


Recover Wreck
Effects: The Bergetiger can recover vehicle wrecks and bring
them back to a functional state.

Repair:
Effects: Repair a Structure or Vehicle for a nominal Resource cost.



what kind of "Salvage" are we talking about?

[Voop_Bakon]

Good point. So  devs, which is it?

[denki_groove]

they rebuilt wrecks like pe bergetiger and overrepair like brit engineers 

[FriendlyFire]

So... Can they rebuild your allies tanks too?

[Toadwarf]

No, as the Bergetiger can´t salvage allied tanks, they can´t.

[Voop_Bakon]

they rebuilt wrecks like pe bergetiger and overrepair like brit engineers 

So is this official. No offense but your a translator, not a dev, unless you are in the beta, in which case thanks 

[BurroDiablo]

Yeah, they can recover wrecks like the Bergetiger

[Loupblanc]

 Is it only once, and only at 50%-66% like PE Berger Tiger?
 - Is this ability innate or must it be researched?
 - Do newly ressurected tanks come back at 1%/No engine/
 gun?
 - Do newly ressurected tanks still not have a 'retreat' button?

 : - Also, since soviet mechanics can't ressurect allied tanks,
 can they ressurect axis tanks and bring them under soviet
 control?

 THAt would be neat.

I think resurrecting enemy tanks have been tried (other mods), but it gives it back to the enemy 

[BurroDiablo]

The ability comes with the Mechanics... since they are a doctrine call-in, it wouldn't make sense to have it as an upgrade. Once the tanks are brought back from the dead they have quite low health, and no, they can't salvage enemy tanks.

[Voop_Bakon]

Ok, so the have the bergtiger salvage, which means it can work on American/Common Wealth tanks (im assuming) and not the Wehr pioneer salvage for resources ability. Right?

So do they also have the Sapper upgraded over repair?

Sorry for the flood of questions, but as far as I know, nothing besides what the guide says has been told about the mechanics

[Loupblanc]

 didn't answer all my questions
 - ok, it's a ressurect tank. It's a doctrine unit. Not an engineer.
 - It can ressurect soviet tanks but not german tanks (Or it would
 then give those units back to the other player)

 Questions :
 - Can units be ressurected only once, and is their max
 health lower on the 2nd run as with PE Berger?
 - Is there a limit to the amount of mechanics you craft?
 - Do newly ressurected tanks still have no 'retreat button' ?

 - Can Soviets rez British trucks/tanks, american tanks/jeeps?
