I tried searching on the forums and I know it is on here somewhere. I need the page for WEP Times.

i believed wep doesn't regenerate or whatever you call it.  once you lose it once that is it.

Not true.  For example, with the 109s you can run it for 10 minutes, then if you let it cool down for 10, you can run it for another 10.  You can do that 4 times, for a total of 40 minutes.  Then if you recharge for 3 you can run it for another 3 before it goes off for good.  The F4Us, you can run it for 5, then recharge for 3, then run it another 3 before it goes off for good.  Rearm does not recharge it.

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.   :salute

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!

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.
