"Now what i dont get out of all the realism nuts out there is there is more then 1 person on these boats. That means there are more then 2 people on the gun when its firing. The have a thing called a bucket brigade (a long of people passing one bucket to the next person). So slowing down the deck gun cant really add to the realism that much if at all. "
LW,
The problem with the ROF that SH4 allows any changes to is that it only allows us one ROF. Back then there were many variables; Training, Crew quality, the CO's interest in using it, sea state, time of day, mis-fires, tatical situation, and type of Gun, target size & distance. If SH4 took all those into consideration and varied the ROF for the best and worst of those conditions you would see different times. Given the absolute best conditions the ROF in a flat calm sea with an expert crew they could pump out and hit (depending again on a variable called distance & size of target) 4-6 rounds a minute. Now take that same crew and move the target out to 2 miles, and give it a sea state 1 and they may keep the same ROF but only hit 50% of the time. So in a game where you can establish only one ROF, its kinda unfair to critize whatever they chose. It is a MOD afterall and you can install the stock file back in if you like.
