Show WEP times in hanger

[Kingpin]

Our resident statistician Luche (aka Snailman) was kind enough to build the following list of WEP times (in minutes) for AHIII.

I was thinking this information is valuable enough that it probably should be displayed in the load-out screen of the hanger, perhaps near to where the flight-time information is displayed.  Especially since not everyone uses the forum or would find this list (particularly newer people).

Watcha think?

Ti = Time (max time for continuous WEP)
Cd = CoolDown (recharge time)
Tot = Total WEP time. After using that up, no more WEP. Rearming doesn not recharge it. Also, if you disco and reconnect, all your (remaining) WEP allowance is gone, too.

For an 'official' data sheet, you'd have to include the WEP capable bombers and sort it better

Only if you add the bombers in the game that have WEP.........

Hell no, this should be a secret.  You should have to play here at leat 5 years to get this kind of information. 

I think Kingpin should be banned forever for even mentioning it.  We shouldn't even tell the newbies about WEP.

Why would you plus one this Wiley, you're supposed to be my wingman.  Think man, think, use your head for something besides banging against the canopy in high G turns.

Does anyone know why the RAF WEP times cool down times are significantly longer than average cool down times?

That is with exception of the Tempest and Tiffie.

Hitech included the bombers in the numbers he posted (link below) so I think it would only be a matter of the game converting and displaying it in minutes in the hanger.

Funny stuff, Zoney.

Unless there was a change I'm not aware of, aren't all WEP a one shot right now?

[JunkyII]

Can't it be included in the help page on the clipboard??? Thought that was why it was put there in the first place.

It just can't be restored by rearming once the total WEP time has been reached. For number of cycles available, see the table posted above.

There's an updated chart available in the Help & Training section

A little confused regarding those numbers. So for example with the P-51, if you use 4 minutes and then let it cool down for 2 minutes do you have 2 minutes available on the next cycle? or 1?

If you use 4 minutes, you have 1 minute left. Letting it cool for 2 minutes adds another minute to it (5/10), so 1+1=2.
