WEP times

[Vinkman]

A WEP has been recorded.   

Good one Shuff.

Found this out on a sortie the other day.  I used the re-arm pad 2 times and found that even though the engine was cool I was out of WEP in my K4.   I know it was discussed before that HTC has made the choice to not reset WEP on the RE-arm pad, but I don't recall why. It forced me to tower out without plane damage.  Not sure I like it.   

A quick search returned no applicable results, but I seem to recall it being something to do with not wanting a functionally unlimited refresh where a "sortie" can go on forever at full capability.  Similar to how he doesn't allow repair on the rearm pad.  It was definitely a choice.

Been meaning to check out the P51 claim from Semp but haven't gotten around to it.

Running a k4 out of wep is quite impressive!

I still had this one stashed away in my AH stats folders:

Yes that’s the story. Grizz famous 262 Epic movie chronicals his 99 kills on a single sortie. His 262 was not limited in its capability after 4 rearms to force him to tower out.  If Mw50 is a refillable fluid, why arbitrarily limit WEP equipped propped planes but not jets with limited engine service life.  I’m not sure this is a constraint that improves game play for anyone. I’ve wanted to try to see how many kills I can get before getting shot down, but cutting engine power by 22% after 3 rearms means it can’t effectively be accomplished.  So I got to 14 kills and towered.  It’s not big deal, but i wish it was rearmable.

Fly a plane without wep. Problem solved!
