The hot reload in AH is a very cool feature.
We sit there for 30 seconds and get refueld and rearmed oxy bottles recharded.
In the time it really takes to do that wouldnt the engine cool down too?
My poor fw190a8 just about wont get in the air without wep!

Perhaps you should begin diet?
My Fw190A-8 does get off the runway without WEP...

My WEP cools quite a bit if I turn off engine before touchdown and use remaining speed to taxi to the pad. That gives you like a minute of engine cooling. I get at least 75% of my WEP back that way in the P-38.

Well, in G10's, we don't have WEP. We have CSB (Combat Survivability Boost) and once it is gone, so is your survivability

I think that the engines cools a good deal on finals/touchdown/taxiing/30secondwait/turnaround.
