Mech Repairs

I have been noticing that sometimes a mech takes longer to repair
Is this meant to happen?
Is it dependent on damage, size of the mech, specialist equipment and upgrades or and ammo?

When is the credits for repairs taken out? When it starts repairing and reloading, during or when it finishes? Sometimes I think I’ve done well in a match but when I look at my credits I’ve made a loss but all my mechs are repaired.

Is it a time limit on repairs or number of matches or both? I’ve noticed my mech is repaired the next day even thou I’ve played no matches.
Can there be a countdown timer on the mech when it’s repairing?
Does the ‘repair now’ speedup repair for extra credits cos it doesn’t all ways work?
Do some weapons take longer to reload?

It's not taking longer to repair, it's a lag issue with the game.

if you are refering to the time between loading the mech lab after a drop and when the mech is available for repair: that is lag on the server end while its trying to calculate costs. this can take a bit depending on how bussy the server is, and how much damage you took. I am assuming actions like these are secondary to in game acitons so they fall down the queque durring heavy loads.

if you are talking about time after clicking the repair button then basically the same thing, though i have never seen it take too long. if it takes longer than a few seconds then this is likely network lag.

if you are using auto repair then again this is just server lag and network latency, and occasionally may not work at all. I think it is probably faster and better to turn this off and just do it manually, in the mech lab. I always do it manually so i can keep track of repair costs.

finally note that if you disconnect from a match before it is over, then you will have to wait till the end of the match before your mech is available.
