No, it is this way for a reason.
What reason? I have never heard HTC comment on the matter.
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.HiTech
This is from 2014, but it still may still hold true.
Returning to your plane in the air after a game freeze - Why oh why is it when return to our plane after a game freeze does the plane have 0 WEP ?I can't tell you how frustrating it is when you take off. You haven't touched the wep. Your maybe half way to your target and a game freeze sets in. You hustle through the process to reboot the game, you finally are placed back in flight. You look back and a p-51 has zeroed in on you. Its one of those Oh-Sh_t moments. You push the nose down and hit the wep. You have wep for 5 seconds the P-51 roars up your ask and you find yourself diving into the planet with a face plant.My question is why is it you lose your wep in this situation.......when you weren't even using it!! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!Can't this be changed?
If the host is keeping your spot, it knows you have d/c, so why not remove WEP for the time that you were gone, not all of it.
From Wiley: If you're hitting them after they drop, that's not defense, that is revenge.
I believe it's so that people don't purposely disconnect when they're about to get their tail waxed, then log back on.
