Repair

The Repair tools are used to repair and replace parts on ships and planes. Ship repairs can be made using the repair tool only. Plane repairs can be made using the repair tool when on the ground, as well as with auto-repair at friendly runways. Repairing plays an important role in keeping vehicles alive and battle-worthy.
==Repair Tool==
The repair tool is given to all players and is able to repair one part at a time. It is free to use but cannot be used above 100 SPS. It is the only way to repair ships and can also be used to repair planes.
===Ships===
On ships, the only way to repair is by using the repair tool, and destroyed parts cannot be replaced. The repair tool can be used to repair both the hulls and the superstructure, however repairing the hull takes 10 seconds each time, regardless of how flooded it is, but other parts repair in increments, and it take shorter or longer depending on how damaged or large the part is. 
The repair tool can be used while driving, as well as while using a turret. While using a turret, an alternative way to equip the repair tool is pressing the F key. Using the R key on a turret stops the turret from moving, making repairs far easier.
====Repair Priority====
Despite the training stating that repairing the hull of a ship is always the priority, this is not always the case. Often it is more important to repair the bases of the turrets instead as the number of breached hulls is too small to threaten sinking. Without turrets a ship is almost useless, and because of this, players should keep an eye on damage to turret bases, as well as hulls.
Hulls can also be allowed to flood to a ship's advantage. 
Example: A destroyer is on the starboard side of another destroyer on the opposite team. Both destroyers are only able to hit one side of hulls. If the hulls on this side is flooded, the enemy destroyer is unable to breach any hulls. With this in mind, the destroyer with the flooded hulls on one side should not turn to expose its unbreached side.
==Auto-Repair==
Auto-repair allows players to instantly fully repair planes, replacing destroyed parts in the process. However auto-repairing costs cash and can only be done at friendly runways.
