Unless you are talking a mega epic boost, which is to be honest retarded since it will break the game balance.
That.
Get SD to reach past 1000, and BBs can repair 100% at all time.
Get it to 1500 + and just getting a BB5 in the red will take:
A: 2 monty
B: an idiot to fire at.
You aren't looking at restorer as you should. By their many support slot, BBs are a ship class that have the possibility without going overkill with vets to cap SD using non-dedicated SD givers (the restorers), so maximizing the crew dedicated to repair/engine.
Restorer are a good options for the following:
-Low level BB stage.
I don't reccommend it personnaly. Many also share my view. Basically, you are boosting your SD at that given point, but you are also sacrifying a leveling slots for your other sailors. If you are however leveling 2 BOs, one for each line, you do have the possibility of doing so without harming the rotationg too much. But then again, I prefer slightly less SD, slightly more rep/OH.
-SS and CVs.
For CVs : their support slots are dedicated to pilots. But having a bit of survivability can always be nice. sure it won't save you if a BB is shooting at you, and your whole team is dead, but if they aren't it make allow you to survive a hit or two, while your team BBs wake up.
Since a CV won't be able to count on 5+ support sailors, a restorer is an interesting option to get a good amount of SD, without reducing the ammount of pilots. In average, your SD on a CV will come from your BO, a seaman/medic, and sometimes 2 supports (rep/res) in the gun slot.
If you are planning to run ASW, its too bad for you tough. Sonar + 2 gunners don't give much SD.
SS, on their side don't have many support slot available, seeing as they always run sonar + planesman. an SS3 have 2 free slots for support (assuming you are running rear torps) (3 for IJN). unless you have lvl 120 crew, and even then, its interesting to think about a restore then. Still be aware the rep will be sacrified, and it will only change the outcome by timing. (Burn to death slowly instead of insta-sink)
