WEP doesn’t come back
« on: May 09, 2023, 10:21:40 AM »
After re-arming in Ki-84 WEP doesn’t come back, is this intended?

Yes, it is. Total overall WEP time is per sortie and not influenced by rearming.

I have had planes that didn't use their full WEP cycle, reload, and it is gone afterwards.  Maybe this is what he meant more specifically.

To clarify, whether I use WEP 3 times or 6 times before I rearm, it’s gone after I re-arm.
I’ve waited over 10 mins after re-upping to try using it…doesn’t work.

What I notice is the temperature will be in the black/well below yellow, but when I press for WEP the temperature jumps way up into yellow/red. That temp would prevent WEP from being available.

So if it’s intended, wouldn’t that be historically inaccurate? Landing and re-arming wouldn’t make the engine run hotter.

For some reason WEP is disabled after a re-arm. I always thought it was a bug.

I assume it's a bug.  I don't expect a reload to recharge WEP, but  it definitely shouldn't disabled it if it's available prior to reload.

You would think a refuel would reset wep back to 100%

Pretty sure it works in the 109s after refueling

I re-armed with Ki-84, used WEP only 3 times before re-arm, took off with WEP, but gone for rest of a 17min sortie.

Re-armed with 109K and WEP was available entire sortie ~25 mins after it re-charged.

Is it perhaps plane specific?

Sounds like a defect...no reason it should be disabled after refueling if it worked b4 you refueled

As not many of us refuel, it isn't a widely experienced defect  :)

Ki-84 has a total WEP time of 10 minutes per sortie, the 109K-4 has 43 minutes.

It’s been like that since HTC implemented the rejoin sortie in flight. If you disco and rejoin in time you loose welp,rearming has the same effect.
