It indeed has bugs:
#1 when running on max power with wep the lead plane outruns drones.
#2 When shot by low caliber weapons either 2 things happen, the fuel tanks light up brighter than a lighter or the wing falls off. (Tested and found)
#3 (Found this one offline) When at a high alt running for a long period of time on WEP the motors heat up and either 3 things happen, and they are as follows: The motors heat up and light on fire (historically correct and I think it is kinda cool) B. Motors get to hot and shut down (Also historically correct I think) C. This really made me upset, Motors got hot up at 30k and suddenly my plane explodes.(bye 150 perkies)

  good QA...also looks like a good reason to follow the suggestions HTC put in the notes about learning this bird...offline...overheating on WEP should be no surprise as the fighters do this as well...

To my knowledge no other aircraft suffers engine failure or fires if the WEP is left running until it maxes out, so I doubt this is modeled on the B29. When the WEP maxes out it just simply cuts off and begins to recharge. I burned my WEP out twice in one flight while climbing in the B29 and my engines never burst into flames.

Same here, I haven't suffered engine problems from WEP.

Scroll halfway down the bar until you come across the white combat report.
