Yes. It was giving area fire and was not under attack so the guns were bearing all the time.

A rate of fire of 25 seconds is better then the current 40 seconds.
There is no 40 second rate of fire. The guns are set to 30 seconds for the 3" and 4" guns and 25 for the 5" gun. If you're experiencing a slower ROF you're crewing the guns with poorly trained men.

However I better simulation would be to allow a 15 to 20 second rate of fire, but have the gun roll with the ship.
The only evidence we have for a 17 second ROF is when ready-use ammo was being used and SH4 does not allow us to make such a distinction. I may still decide to use this speed, but only if I have another piece of evidence that shows that a boat could fire more than 40 rounds at that speed.
