Old smokey,

As we all start by reducing V1 to be able to stop on the wet runway. Isn't the ability to continue the takeoff artificially degraded?

What I'm trying to say is: if we start with lowering our V1 to meet wet runway conditions, that is the limiting factor. The side effect is that accelerate go weight is reduced due to the lower V1.

I agree the end result is the same, but the logic is slightly different.
