Bug #5015
"Repair wheels" listed as a skill for level 2 engineer, but level 3 is required
10%
Description
Even the wiki says level 2 is required: http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Engineer
Here's an example posted by /u/a3udi:

Some have suggested that small rover wheels can be repaired by a level 2 engineer, but not the larger ones. I have not verified that, but if it's the case, the tooltip and wiki are quite confusing and it should be made clearer. It can be very frustrating to spend time sending a level 2 engineer somewhere to repair a wheel, only to find out you needed a level 3 one.

The tooltip in the AC does indeed indicate that wheel repairs may be made by Level 2 Engineers, but an attempt to do so generates the message that a level 3 is required.

Can confirm this, though as mods are in play only tentatively, under version 1.13. Just ran into it in a career play, as per the image attached the astronaut complex lists 2 star engineer Patfred Kerman as being able to repair wheels. The image also shows Patfred attempting to repair a wheel and being informed that a 3 star engineer is required.
Incidentally, the astronaut complex suggests my 3 star engineers have the ability to repair landing legs.
As noted I ran across this under a modded career save, so it's possible that mods have impacted it. I'll update if I have time to level an engineer to 2 stars under a stock save.

Insomnia has allowed me to confirm this under a stock v1.1.3 career save. Attached image ksp-bug5015b.png shows Bill, at 2 star experience, being informed he needs 3 stars to repair TR-2L and M1 wheels, and his astronaut complex listing stating that at 2 stars he can repair wheels.
Attached save file, stockEngineerTest.zip, has 2-star Bill on EVA just by the runway and alongside two craft, "Wheelbreaker Mini" & "Wheelbreaker Maxi" - both with broken wheels. "Fly" Bill & attempt to repair wheels to confirm.

This bug is resolved. In the skills for an engineer it now correctly lists "repair landing legs" as a two star skill, and "repair wheels" as a three star skill.
