The listed rate of fire of a gun doesn't take into account the unstable footing on a pitching and rolling deck, a bucket brigade of gun crew passing shells up through a conning tower, waiting for the pitch of the waves to allow for an accurate shot, etc. This has been discussed to death. The figure you read about is a theoretical maximum rate of fire under perfect conditions. A WW2 submarine at sea is far from a perfect gun platform.
If you would like to change the rate of fire, SH3 Commander allows you to.
