Suspend Disco = no WEP rule

[-ammo-]

While I completely understand why the policy exists, it has a negative impact on those players that disco due to the recent network issues.  I really like the feature where you are put back in flight but it is a real disadvantage to come back at 150 IAS with no WEP in a sea of enemy AC.  Especially if you are in a plane that accelerates like a snail.

This morning I flew FSO and then went to the main arena.  I discoed 5 times in less than 4 hours.  Please do away with the no WEP rule.

I would appreciate it if the P40C didn't lose all its fuel after a Disco.

All the fuel in the planes Fuel tanks, not externals... the plane is dead stick when I'm put back in the cockpit ;(

Let's throw in serious overheating while we're at it. I've come back from several disco's to find my engine white hot. Which means no WEP, which means I can count on 2 dozen guys at my 6 (instead of the usual dozen), and NO power. Bad.

throw in? this is exactly what the OP is talking about...

That sounds more like a bug than a wish.

One of the problems with this rule is that it affects some planes more than others or not at all. Spit 14 mossie and p47N/M rely heavily on slow recharging WEP. TA152 WEP charges very fast. The yaks do not use WEP at all.

The FW190A5/A8/F8 has the slowest cooling times of them all.
It's just about time to land when WEP is restored.

When I faced frequent disconnects last month, I had to fly the liquid cooled planes to have any chance of survival (I'm try to fly mostly ENY20+ planes).

There is no "RULE" about no wep, the host simply has no idea how much wep you have used. Hence to fix the issue of discoing to get wep back, we chose to have no wep after disco.

Do you mean to say that you think people might disco on purpose to resupply their wep if it was the other way?

Say it isn't so!

Of course.  However that doesn't help the majority that disco due to network problems.  The fix punishes the innocent.

If the choice to show WEP not available on returning from a disco, or not returning from a disco except to the tower, well I think we all will agree that we would like to be put back in flight even if it at the expense of wep.  We know why HTC chose to put you back in the plane with wep used up, small price to pay.

I think being returned to flight after a disco is one of the best things that has happened to the game, I'm ok with the wep penalty because of that.  Leave it just like it is, it works perfect.

What button is it for WEP again?

I have been flying the 9t too much

[Randy1]

I can't say I knew there was no wep after a disconnect.  Ammo it might not be noticeable by most disco'es.  The immediate need for wep would seem to be rare occasion.

I do see your point and HTC's counter point.  HTC's.

In many higher ENY planes Wep is the difference between able running away from a hoard of yak3 and spit16, or get caught.

A question for HTC ,you already keep track of ammunition, is it hard to code to "remember" temperature ?

[Lusche]

is it hard to code to "remember" temperature ?

Just a side note, WEP is based on a simple timer only.
