I also often encounter this
Oh don’t worry the request for repairs without parts is utterly broken. I have had instances playing with friends in voice comms where it took us over 20 seconds of actively trying to repair to even get that shit to work. You think it’s active but it’s not, you start helping but it cancels itself.
The symbols that should show up when you request that are barely visible so I really don’t blame people for not seeing it.
The chat thing cannot be explained. People just don’t realise there is a chat sometimes.

I do help.
…when I have a BP task
yeah, there was an agreement that we wouldn’t help you repair under no circumstances, we all had to sign the agreement, you should take this personally.

Dude, this joke has been done already. I’m just surprised how absolutely unhelpful other players are. I think the whole “get repaired by teammate when you have no parts” mechanic could simply be removed and basically nothing would have changed as people are not willing to help.
no one bothers with it nowadays, not many kind souls left in the game
Can confirm it is bugged and does not always show. Sometimes you have to do a full “basic” repair before a team mate can help you.

Do you know if it’s been reported?
The thing i think i’ve seen is it saying “Hold [F] to request repairs” regardless of the state it’s actually in. Meaning that the tooltips say that even when you’re already actively requesting repairs making you accidentally turn them off. Not entirely sure though as that was a while ago and i tend to not be without the upgraded parts for long.

Honestly I have no idea. I have given up hope with the bug report site. I do not have patients to sit there and re-report something till the site actually figures the details are valid.
Last attempted report was the floating tree on Volcano map next to the volcano that only renders when you are close to. Noting that was submitted with the original report on the floating trees to the map. Everything else got fixed except the one tree.

I once did a full basic repair and could no longer ask teammates for help, lol, luckily it was a flat city map, so having effectively L3’s engine in 32t tank allowed me to crawl far enough to shoot someone before the game ended.

Lul! What kind of bug is this? 😂 This is what is should show:
I posted it as a link from Tenor, I’m going to download it first now and edit my post uploading it directly instead. I am curious if it shows up for you then.
Ok edited, see if it shows the GIF for you now 👍

I have not seen a report yet, if anyone does know of one please let us know. And/or if someone creates one please make sure to tag/ping/DM me and I can add my own experiences with this issue as a comment to your report 👍
+1 to having seen it bug out myself, multiple times. I play light tanks most of the time so I try to help everyone who needs repairs (because light tanks repair teammates faster.) So, I encounter LOTS of teammates who do not have parts yet. VERY often, maybe like 50% of the time, they will “stop” the repair request, restart, stop again etc etc etc before I can actually help them repair. Imo, this is almost certainly caused by the repair keybind (“F” by default) not working/showing properly etc.
I am very confidant that it IS bugging out because it happens to me almost every time that I start spading a new ground vehicle. I am VERY careful about pressing F to start the request so that I hopefully do not bug it out. But even while paying very close attention to the repair request, I have to cancel and restart the request at least 50% of the time.
There seems to possibly be multiple issues happening at the same time (at least from my perspective as a player.)
First, it doesn’t seem to always give you the option to request repair help right away and/or sometimes it STARTS the repair request itself, so that when you try and start the request, you are actually cancelling it (but it doesn’t SHOW you that it started the request itself, so you do not know that you are actually cancelling it. Idk, but I 100% agree that the displayed state of the “request” is not “synced” properly between the server and client.)
Second, even once you are past that first potential issue, it seems like there is a “desync” between the server and the client about if you are actually in repair “request mode”. Thus, causing even further request>cancel>request>cancel loops.

I’m curious - why only under these specific circumstances?
I assume they are talking about the tasks where you have to help repair a teammate. So, they are saying that they only help repair when they have a selfish reason to do so.
You forgot teamates that try to Tk you after you kill the plane that you were going for first.
WoT players Starting WT.
The one who arent bots are usually banned from chat
And yes,people are blind or simply do not care about repairing others
