Recently noticed that upon collecting the repair/rearm icon in Tank Assault mode that ammunition and a crew replenishment charge were being given but no full repairs/crew as it was previously… thought it was a glitch so on myltiple maps and various points it seems to be consistent.
I dont recall reading anywhere that this was changed, but maybe I missed it.
Curious if anyone else experiencing this or can shed light as I tried to search forum but didnt see any recent posts regarding this. I didnt see a bug report but wanted to see if this is also affecting others so that we can put one together.
If this was intentional, why keep the icon representing a repair when it isnt.

I only played one game on the ground so far and had the same issue; but I never even got a bonus FPE or Crew Replenishment charge, just an ammo reload.
I’m hoping it’s a bug because it fully repairs helicopters still.
I’ve had a ticket open about this for 8 days now. Maybe it helps if you click “I have same issue” here: Community Bug Reporting System
Not being big on optimism, I think we might have to live with that in Ground Assault until the next major patch, just like the stacked spawns two or three patches back. That was never fixed before the next patch.
Not a glitch, nothing in the patch notes, but functionality has been cut by two thirds. What the equipment pickups do reliably is restocking ammo, they do not heal or replace crew members, nor do they do even the slightest repair to the tank. I do get extra healing charges, though not all the time. Sometimes it seems to help to use the initial one before rolling over the icon, but I didn’t pay enough attention to collect sufficient, hm, evidence.
Thank you for the link, added comment there as well.
I tried different vehicles over several maps to cofirm and it definitely has not repaired the vehicle/crew, only the ammo/charges for fpe and crew replacement.
I tried various vehicles, different maps, tried different points of the icons but still same results.
Considering how they tackled Sinai from update with the crazy new rock formations that had ai pathing right through it, id loke to hope that this would be alleviated in a timely manner.
But… as mentioned, look how long it took to fix the ai spawn issue (oh man those were good times for HE vehicles lol)… or further back with the ai auto-fixing after you damaged them, etc.
I will admit i havent had a chance to test using a heli but i imagine from the other results it will be similar.
I can say for certain that it’s on Kursk, Mozdok, Japan, Ardennes, and Maginot. Can’t say anything about Sinai (absolutely refuse to play that since the rework) and Fulda (haven’t played any 8.3+ in months, the heli pilots put me off that), but I’d be surprised if it doesn’t happen there just the same.
