Wep is. Not required to win fights
Required, no, but it makes it a hell of a lot easier in some planes.

Someone died so is on a rant about how the game cheated him out of death because of well known and long running game mechanics that won't be changed.  GV Dar also laser guides bombs to target, and HiTech made base taking impossible without the use of m3's for a month.  :old:

   I like to keep My planes as long as I can and when ENY goes high It can be nice to keep a late model crate. also as stated before, Sometimes multiple hops are needed to accomplish some achievements.

   And vraciu that makes no sense to Me.  It doesn't mean unlimited WEP, It means the same degree of WEP after every refuel-rearm.  Just like getting a new crate.

Again, when ENY goes up you have a numerical advantage and shouldn't be allowed to fly a Tempest. So if you only lose WEP you're still gaming the whole ENY side balancing system by doing so. Reup a midwar plane and challenge yourself.

This makes no sense to me.

WEP is NEVER unlimited because there is an overheat timer on it that once reached required a cool down period. So why is there a sortie limit?

If  the limit is because certain engines used water or NOS injection then the limit makes sense.
Hence I wish:

1) Only planes with a substance injection system for WEP should have total WEP time limit.
2) The substance should be reloaded at Re-Arm and the limit reset.

This idea that planes need to be forced to tower out due to WEP use sounds more like a left over mistake than game strategy.  After all, you can re-arm and get bombs on a field where ords are down. So I doubt the re-arm pad strategy was designed to limit plane capability to improve game play. I have noticed that the temperature of the engine does NOT reset during re-arm. So if your over heated when you land, you still need to wait for your engine to cool down before you get WEP capability again. Cool down is proportional to time. So if your cool down takes 10 minutes, at 5 minutes you have 50% of your WEP time back.  One could argue that the temp should reset, but for some reason, I like that you need to wait for the proper cool down time, even though a time warp allows you to re-arm in 30 sec.  :)

WEP is not a necessity.  If you can't win without it, you're doing it wrong.

All planes show +/- Gs on the dash
