Why can't the game remember how much WEP we have after a disco?  It knows how much fuel & ammo we have remaining.   :headscratch:

Coogan


And this is where I am kind of on the fence about the answers that have been given, even the one AckAck has given that came from HTC.

I disco’d yesterday while driving a 38L, logged back in to the aircraft in flight. WEP didn’t work for like 20 or so seconds but did eventually start working again and it lasted until my engine temps redlined.

This brings another interesting observation.

I have done this many times. Run my WEP to failure, let the engines cool and continue using WEP. If I don’t let the engines cool long enough I got the 10 second WEP boost and it would shut off.

I will post a video of me doing exactly what I am talking about later this evening or early morning as I work swingshift 1500-2300 CST.

You can do what I did a few years ago and email HiTech asking him.  He'll give you the same answer he gave me, which I posted.

Did I miss the post?  :headscratch:

WEP has an on time, a cooldown time, and a total duration for the sortie.  If you disco, when you reconnect your heat gets put to the max and needs to cool down.

So say you're in a P51 which is 5 on, 10 off, maximum duration of 10 minutes.  You can run it for 5 minutes then it will take 5 to cool down completely.  If you disco at any time, when you reconnect your WEP will need 5 minutes to cool down completely.  On the sortie, if you run your WEP for a total amount of 10 minutes, it will go off and stay off.

Here's the total list if you're interested.  What the OP is talking about is he wants rearming to reset the max duration.  I get his point, but HT's said no in the past.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

It needs 10 minutes cooldown time after 5 minutes of WEP use  :old:
