   37 days to repair the standard armor of a light mech? That's longer than it takes to completely replace a full load of Ferro on an assault mech. These armor repair times are out of control. I chose to enable the "no free armor repairs" option because I agree that the default is silly... but I wouldn't have if I knew the utter disregard for Btech rules would be equally silly. Armor work is one of the quickest jobs a tech can perform... Hell, they usually leave it to the astechs to do it's so fast and easy.

      IF you have 37 days of repair you either didnt upgrade your mechbays
      
      Or you took quite a beating
      
      But it totally cannot be that you gotta invest in your techs to not suck at it

      Could be that in the start you aint got that many techs? Like just starting a mercenary company with a barely held together multi century old dropship?
      Then again I only got 1911 hours in currently and have played the game since it's paper days when it was called Battledroids. So I may have missed something.

      Hi, I just found out that there's a setting specifically for that under "difficulty settings". You can change it mid-campaign as well.
      
      I was blown away by the time as well. And it's not because I came from HBS BATTLETECH where it's totally free. I came from MekHQ where each point (which I think is equal to 5 points in this game) takes 5 MINUTES to replace, with no difficulty penalty which you could use to justify it taking longer in a game where you can't fail the job. A far cry from this game, where minor armor repairs for light mechs with standard armor take amounts of time measured in days.
