Damage Control Party Data
The basic consumable found on all ships, it instantly repairs all module incapacitations, fires, and floods. Unlike most consumables which have limited uses, Damage Control Party has infinite uses and can be used as many times as the player wishes (provided they have something to repair). In addition, the ship is immune to incapacitations, fires, and floods that occur during the duration of the consumable. The cooldown varies per type of ship, and can be further reduced based on the skills her commander has and the signals that have been mounted. The duration also varies per ship: typically 5 seconds for destroyers, while most battleships' last for 15 seconds (some as high as 20 seconds).
It may be tempting to instantly fix any damage on a ship, but if under intense fire, waiting may be the wiser decision. Particularly in destroyers where modules get incapacitated very easily, waiting until something major breaks is a lot smarter than wasting Damage Control Party on a simple armament incapacitation. It may very well save the ship, since losing a gun or torpedo launcher is a lot less important than losing the rudder or engine. In carriers it may be a little bit different. If a carrier's flight deck catches fire, it may be wise to repair it in order to land and/or launch aircraft. Knowing the right time to use the Damage Control Party consumable is a key skill to learn in World of Warships.
