I think i am just going to assume that the breach repair issue is not a bug but gaijin’s way of trying to force people to use the new repair system.
Naval grind event is awful when you play anything blue water since your regular repairs and fire fighting get a huge time penalty because the game starts forcing random hull repairs at the same time.
It only happens on first spawn of the match and the three or so reports I sent got hit with ‘not a bug’.
It clearly is but ToS frustratingly demands I do not continue talking about the decision.
So i should start taking a reserve boat as first spawn, J out, then use my actual ship?
I’ve been doing that from time to time, I suspect its part of the reason people cap coastal points in blue water, spawn a coastal, grab the point, J-out, get some score and not have to deal with Gaijin refusing to fix the damn bug.
