The reload time is set in the Deck_Gun_GE88mm.sim file.

To edit it, you need to use the Goblin editor application (in the SH5 install directory)

To set up the Goblin Editor to be functional, read this post : http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...39&postcount=1

In the Goblin Editor [File Menu] >Open 'Deck_Gun_GE88mm.GR2' then [File Menu] >Merge 'Deck_Gun_GE88mm.sim' MAKE BACKUP COPIES OF BOTH THESE FILES BEFORE EDITING
both are found in : SH5installdirectory\data\Objects\Guns\

In the 'Project Tree window' you should see :-

Files
|
+Deck_Gun_88mm.GR2
- Deck_Gun_88mm.Sim
..+ StationController @ 88mm_UDeck_Gun_High
..+ wpn_Cannon @ 88mm_UDeck_Gun_High

Double click 'wpn_Cannon @ 88mm_UDeck_Gun_High' in the project tree window to bring up the 'Edit Behaviour' window.

In the Edit Behaviour window click 'wpn_Cannon' from the existing behaviours box.

In the Edit Behaviour box on the right you should see a list of properties than can be changed - reload_time is the one you want.

To be more realistic a reload time of 5-6 seconds is fairly accurate as the gunner can get faster with skill points. Fastest possible speed would be about 3.5 seconds.

When you have made a change the .sim file and its contents will turn red in the Project Tree window. Close the edit behaviour window then go to [File Menu] >Save

Job done.
