i might be doing something wrong here, but i sent 3 units back to base in mission 1 using the "return for repair" option from the command menu.
They returned to base ok but no repairs happened
is there a reason for this?

Just a thought - but have you researched auto-repair?

no I haven't
is there some reason why this option is active when auto repair hasn't been researched?

Because it is not disabled.
Two possibilites:
- No one thought about disabling it yet.
- Disabling or dynamically adding buttons to the UI is not possible with the current code-base.

ok in mission 2 i get the tech to build mobile repair turrets so what is the point of the "return for repair" option unless vehicle should repair at base from the start?

Return for repair sends units to the nearest repair facility, in lieu of that it sends the to HQ for 'assumed' recycling.
Auto repair works anytime the unit is idle, so return for repair is kinda unnecessary when you can just pull back from the action.
