dont know if this a bug or a feature:

1) auto repair, flamers and building stuff can bee seen even tough there is no sensor or unit in reach(in the unrevealed parts of the map[not the mini map])

2) units dont shoot while they are being repaired?

I have seen this too and think that both should be corrected.

Agreed. Currently, it's used as pre-satuplink tech.
This is why some features aren't implemented: http://forums.wz2100.net/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=7490&view=unread#p87241

He said repaired not auto reapair, it is 2 different actions.

Units that are standing around being repaired by the repair tower should be able to shoot they are not actually doing anything.

What exactly is auto repair, ie the difference from normal repair. I have never really got this
Moving back instead of forward
Seems to me absurd

In either case I don't see a reason a unit in combat should be able to get or perform repairs. You could probably do some minor repairs even during combat (say 10% repair rate) but not back to full health.

ie tank is down to 50% (50hp of 100) health, repair unit comes along and starts going repairs in a hot combat zones while unit is still firing away at the enemy. Since it is occupied it can only regain 10% of its full health value (10hp). I think that would be more favorable than complete repairs during combat from a repair unit.

So it is just "Repair Speed +100%" that is all the guide says...

Auto-Repair allows for units to repair themselves without the need to go to a Repair Facility or Mobile Repair Unit for repairs.

Ah thanks, yeah I knew that - I thought it was something with the repair facilities.
