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.

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?
Post by: Lusche on March 06, 2018, 01:18:27 AM
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.
WEP does not get reloaded by refueling.

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?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.

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. :D

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.Still doesn't explain the difference. Spitfire Mk XVI uses and American Merlin but follows the same British WEP rules.
It's one thing that america gave back to rolls royce.
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.

WEP is NEVER unlimited because there is an overheat timer on it that once reached required a cool down period. So why is there a sortie limit?
If the limit is because certain engines used water or NOS injection then the limit makes sense.
Hence I wish:
1) Only planes with a substance injection system for WEP should have total WEP time limit.
2) The substance should be reloaded at Re-Arm and the limit reset.
This idea that planes need to be forced to tower out due to WEP use sounds more like a left over mistake than game strategy. After all, you can re-arm and get bombs on a field where ords are down. So I doubt the re-arm pad strategy was designed to limit plane capability to improve game play. I have noticed that the temperature of the engine does NOT reset during re-arm. So if your over heated when you land, you still need to wait for your engine to cool down before you get WEP capability again. Cool down is proportional to time. So if your cool down takes 10 minutes, at 5 minutes you have 50% of your WEP time back. One could argue that the temp should reset, but for some reason, I like that you need to wait for the proper cool down time, even though a time warp allows you to re-arm in 30 sec. :)

You get to fly your plane as long as you want refueling as many times as you want, no matter the ENY, you just dont get to use more WEP. Look at it as a game play concession. For some reason HTC doesnt want WEP replenished on a refuel. I think it has something to do with knocking down the advantage of extended runs. Much the same as battle damage will never get repaired on the rearm pad. You want WEP, or a plane with no damge, end sortie and get a new one. If not, muscle through WITHOUT WEP.
Sorry, Fugi, this position makes no sense. I can't tell if you think it's perfect logic that WEP doesn't get 're-fueled' or if you are trying to rationalize why he should just accept it.
The non-WEP reset seems like an error, to be honest. It makes no logical sense to single out WEP as something that can't be resupplied. ALL planes don't get repaired when damaged. But 262 can rearm all day and keep it's performance because it does't have WEP. So the goal doesn;t seem to be to limit an undamaged planes ability to re-arm. If that were the goal...there would just be a re-arm limit of 1,2, 3 etc.
The logic SEEMS to be that since there is no loss of points for battle damage, or belly landing into the runway, the "Re-Arm" is THE reward for not damaging your plane. Limiting WEP removes the reward and forces a tower out. No incentive to make a "no-damage" landing at that point. Not sure why that's a good thing.

It doesn't have to make sense to mere mortals like us, it is a game concession HTC wants and so we have it. My GUESS at the reason is that they dont want planes that have the advantage of WEP to be able to use it continuously and so limit the reload for it.

Yes there is a difference. Everyone has a burn mult of 2.0. If fuel multiplier were like WEP Rearm, a hand full of planes would get a burn mult of 3.0 or their 4th refuel. everyone else would stay 2.0. :salute

I suppose if one was inclined, you could perform a few engine temp tests and how they correlate to WEP.
I don’t see crates sitting on the rearm pad waiting for their engines to cool down.

Not sure what you mean by "temp tests and how they correlate to WEP"? They are 100% correlated. The temp meter is the WEP indicator. When you reach a certain temp you are out of wep. In reality planes may have had a methanol, or Nitros Oxide gauge indicating when they ran out. IIRC HTC rolls them all into the temp gauge. when the gauge drops you get your WEP back.
Apparently there is a total time limit for WEP on planes with WEP. We don't know why. If it is temperature based, it makes no sense to have a total WEP limit. for planes with ADI or Nitros it doesn't make sense that it's not replenished with fuel and ammo. So what we are all wondering is why it is set up that way.
The OP wanted it changed so the overall WEP timer is reset on re-arm. I am for the overall WEP timer being reset on re-arm, but not to the cool down timer to reset. so if it takes 10 minutes for a 109 to get 100% of WEP back, when you take off from a rearm, you still have to wait 9min, 30 sec.
So I give the OP a +1
...because it makes sense.

Do you know why you use an exclamation point?
I was making a point that there has always been a time limit on wep besides the cool down times. Dale stated it was a bug that allowed you to extend the total wep times with rearms. That bug has been fixed in AH3 so if your plane has 10 mins. total wep,thats all you get. As to why it is the way it is I cant answer except that it's what HTC set it to.
If you exceed the total wep time,get a new plane,if ENY wont allow you to up the same type plane fly something else or change sides!

How about when you refuel you only get 25% of fuel and ammo? or 27% fuel and 13.5% ammo? or on next landing only 50% of you gear comes down? or your prop loses a blade each time you re-arm? or only the guns on the left side of the plane fire? Or 18% or your control surfaces are deactivated? or the game turns into night time but only for you? :rolleyes:

I dont get the connection.....
It's an arbitrary limitation that WEP is not re-supplied with fuel. So it's as logical as only getting 17% fuel and 13.5% ammo on a re-arm, etc...
so, yeh...we all know that we can tower out and get full WEP, but why not investigate if this seemingly arbitrary and illogical limitation can be changed.
NOTE: No proof it even exists yet, so my argument is predicated on it actually being a real thing. :)

If the fights are as fun tonight I will test it on the ground after a rearm and a full engine shut down.
It may just a glitch but it did provide me with more time with WEP after the initial overheat.

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.
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.

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.

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