Loss of WEP after Refuel.

[wil3ur]

It's really not an issue if you use it as it's name implies, in an emergency.

I can't remember the last time I ran out of WEP in a plane.   

[icepac]

Ack Ack is correct.

[Vraciu]

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. 

Beats me.  Frankly I thought the unlimted WEP with a temperature limit was fine for the Merlins.    Made sense.    This is just........well.........arbi trary I guess.

I think the OP wants to be able to rearm and have WEP even if ENY subsequently increases and would normally prevent him from reupping a Temp. So maybe the gameplay concession is a good thing. No need to have Temps hording.

[RODBUSTR]

  So this is a game and not a simulator..... I get It.

[atlau]

Yes. It would take much longer to rearm than 30" in real life

[Ack-Ack]

This has always been considered a game and as such game play concessions need to be made.

But still weird that american merlins have better Wep than british merlins despite being the same engines..

[icepac]

Actually, the tolerances of the american merlins were more consistent in the ability to swap parts and not have to spend much time machining parts that should be interchangeable......but weren't.

It's one thing that america gave back to rolls royce.

Still doesn't explain the difference.  Spitfire Mk XVI uses and American Merlin but follows the same British WEP rules.

There are also numerous accounts of British Merlins being run far beyond the limits in the pilot's handbooks.

I expect it is due to the different language in the pilots handbooks between the US and UK planes.

 So more fantasy and less realistic simulator.

[RODBUSTR]

It would be nice to have someone with actual intel on My question to weigh in.

[wil3ur]

Wep is. Not required to win fights

Werent you asking for a digital rate of climb indicator on your HUD?

Make up your mind...

Fly a Yak and it's not an issue.
