With that little ammo you will sink eventually 2-3 ships thats it.
And it was doable in reality!

Barely doable, and hardly ever happened. I don't think there's any historical precedent on a widespread basis to think you should be sinking multiple ships with the deck gun over the course of one patrol. It may have happened. So did an incident of a plane being shot down by a type VII's DG. But that doesn't mean that we should suddenly jump out and make it into an uber-anti-air weapon, too.
We've had the 60-second discussion so many times before it makes me sick already.
PLEASE. Remember that the stated 15-18 rounds a minute is a not a sustained fire rate, but a maximum instantaneous fire rate, with a fresh crew and ready-use ammunition on deck (limited to ~20 first rounds). In reality, the fire rate over a prolonged engagement would actually be nearer to 80 seconds/shot.  |
heh, reminds me of the days in the army, we had so much training on firing a 105mm gun from the Marshall help we got from the US after WW2, we started at 3 rounds in 45 sek range, and a half year later, our battery (6 guns) had a fire rate of
3 shot's in 10 sek on 105mm M1A1 (preset ammo, range and gunpowder)
and
3 shot's in 15 sek on a 155mm M109 A3GN2
on average basis, we (the gun i was on) was capable of aprox...
(thinking hard...) 10 - 20 shot's in a minute of continous fire, WITH rotating crew (clean ammo, no range set and no gunpowder setting)
the old M1A1 105mm gun has somewhat same principle as the 88's and 105mm's of the german sub's, they had to manualy put in the amount of gunpowder, i asume atleast, cause the 88 on the sub had different type of ammo compared to the 88 of the german tanks and AAA on land.
