I have a big problem with that. It's nonsensical. It's not bound by the actual reality, and doesn't even simulate or replicate real capabilities.

That's Ubisoft IL2 levels of arbitrary hamstringing....

Yes, I would agree with you on that. The way it used to work was better, regardless of it being a bug.

The P-40C has 600 seconds of WEP?  < President Skroob voice > "Why doesn't anybody tell me these things?!"

In two 300 second bursts with a 600 or 900 second cool down period in between.

If this is a simulator the planes should act as they do in real life. Am I right?

I wish life was that simple, ordo you think you should never fly again when you are killed.

Would be fun, every new player is tested prior to being accepted and then has to start with basic and advandced training for a year or so Before being assigned to a squad and allowed to fly hours of eventless patrols Before being shot down and kicked out of the game.

Any chance of having WEP recharge when you hot pad? I can't think of a good reason why it shouldn't.

The 109s (other than the E4) and 190s effectively have unlimited total WEP time. 30 seconds with a calculator and that chart will show you that in anything like a normal flight, even with drop tanks, you will run out of gas long before you run out of WEP given the time it takes to recharge. Complaining about the fact that it has a theoretical limit that you will never actually hit is pretty pointless.

One big problem with AH WEP in general is that once you disconnect and reup in flight means WEP is used up totally, which in turn mean you will not engage in your WEP-crippled plane anytime soon if not at great advantage - your plane is not competive in Melee arena until you can use WEP for at least for a bunch of minutes.

As an  example FW190A rely heavly on WEP to stay competetive, and have 1:4 recharge time for it's 10 minutes of WEP, for 10 minutes cooling means 2,5 minutes of WEP back to use.

Yak3 on the other hand can happlily fly on at 100% without any hitch.
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.
