The “Dive” section comments are also interesting.

If you use it as a tool and not a crutch, it'll be there when you need it... the vowel is the giveaway "Emergency".

I personally think the game coddles people too much, and you should see half of these planes returning home smoking and tore apart just from being ran at full power from takeoff to landing.  HTC was nice enough to not be that big a goober to everyone.  Since we got an inch now the extra mile is needed and unlimited WEP should be added too?

C'mon man, jump in a 30+ ENY plane and learn how to fly, it beats the pants off of running!   

WEP is not super powers or a crutch. A P-39 has WEP.

As well as "turn" and "use of flaps".  One mentioned turning with a 109 on the deck, flaps out and 130IAS.   Sounds like fun.

    Say You don't need WEP. maybe not, but competing against a like plane or numerous opponents when Your's is cancelled out do to extended refueling doesn't make sense. It is being penalized for  not getting Your plane shot to pieces and requiring a new crate.  Why not limit use of flaps and weapons too then.   Someone stated that it was to  even the playing field.  If that is so then Why not give the loser the perk points in a battle instead of giving them to the winner allowing Them to get the better equipment.   Have a blast.

What happens when you spawn, taxi to the rearm pad, and rearm.

Do you lose wep at that time?

No.

You don't lose WEP, it simply isn't restored.

Rodbustr just get a new plane. Its not that big of a deal. This thread has gotten way too long.

The reason why WEP is not recharged when you hot pad is a game play concession to prevent players from exploiting the re-arming system to get what would essentially be unlimited WEP.  It is the same reason why after relogging into the game after a disco, your plane no longer has WEP.

Yes, this dead horse is barely recognizable.

I don't believe that.

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

I don't believe that.

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.
