Loss of WEP after Refuel.

[RODBUSTR]

    I just wonder what the logic in that is. 

[Lusche]

You don't lose WEP after refueling, it has no impact on it.
You didn't mean "reconjnect" perchance?

[RODBUSTR]

   Gee whiz. maybe, I don't know..... After I refuel for the 5 or 6th time.  My WEP doesn't work. Maybe the button moved. on the Mk14. Tempest and Hellcat.

[Lusche]

You simply ran out of WEP during your long sorties.
The Tempest has a maximum total WEP time of 8 minutes (max continous of 5mins, 'cooldown' 10mins nominally), the Spit XIV a maximum total WEP time of 10 minutes (max continous 5mins, cooldown 17 mins)
Once the total WEP time has been used up, it's gone. You got to start a new sortie (=fresh plane) if you want to have WEP again.

[RODBUSTR]

  No  WEP fails to work any time after the refuel. I would assume If I had WEP the 4th time I expended It and refueld and got it back, I would have It the 6th and 7th.

[Zoney]

I rearm, refuel in the same plane all the time.  My Wep always works no matter how many times I rearm, unless I've used it up.  Wep does not get reloaded/filled up each time you rearm/refuel.  Once you have used it all up then you have to tower out and get a new plane to have Wep again.

Rodbuster, are you confused about what gets reloaded when you refuel?  Wep does not get reloaded.
Or, are you reporting a bug and you think that your wep is just gone because you refueled?

WEP does not get reloaded by refueling.

Once the total WEP time has been used up, it's gone. You got to start a new sortie (=fresh plane) if you want to have WEP again.

     Hence My point, What is the logic in not reloading WEP?   We get fuel and ammo like real planes did, But They also got  oil water metenol and or nitrous too..... So why don't We get It?

[atlau]

Do they fill your oil and water backup when you hit the rearm pad with an oil and radiator hit?

It would be nice to get WEP back. Or you could just get a new plane.

Merlin, Griffon and Allison engines didn't use additives for WEP.  There is nothing to restock on those.  In reality they could run WEP until the engine broke or they ran out of fuel.  For game reasons they have total WEP per sortie hard limited.

[RODBUSTR]

    Gee Whiz Atlau.  Stating the obvious..... Great minds do think alike... No kidding.  I usually choose to keep my plane until it is war weary like a real pilot would "simulator...... virtual reality".   And  It helps when ENY  prevents from upping in the same model plane, increases K/D ratio and helps to complete achievments.  Not getting WEP resupplied is a great hindrance  especially when you go 1 v2 or 3 in  simulated combat. planes like the Mk 14  go up against P51s and K4s.    So back to My question.  "Why isn't the WEP resupplied".

Should be changed.  The Merlin limit is way too low.

[Ack-Ack]

So back to My question.  "Why isn't the WEP resupplied".

Probably a game play concession so people can't fly around with virtually unlimited WEP.

That makes the most sense as an explanation. 

[Mister Fork]

That makes the most sense as an explanation. 

It does...but why?  If you really want WEP, and the game disallows it through re-arm, a player will just end their sortie and take up a new plane. WEP restored.

Maybe it's just a miss on HTC part?  I really don't think HTC would intentionally limit a players ability to have WEP available simply because you rearmed your airplane. If it does, it's a bug - or if it's intentional, this is a Wishlist item.

Either way, someone who wants it should post it in either/or/both places, not here so that HTC and Skuzzy can give it the attention it needs.  I'm indifferent as I rarely live long enough to rearm.
