At the 1000 ton freighter (larger than the sampan target they engaged at 3800 yards in the other example posed) they hit 50/80, 62.5% of the rounds on what should have been an easier target. That means that the other log with 90 hits was from 144 shots at the same hit % of 62.5., 10.83 seconds per round.

So we have some pretty variable numbers, even for the same boat.

Sadly the deck gun in game isn't as adjustable as we might like.

Might be interesting to try and reproduce some engagements and see what kind of results we get.

The logbook is a bit confusing. It wasn't 90 shots and 90 hits in 26 minutes. It was 90 shots and 60 hits in 26 minutes. If you look at the summary of attacks it clarifies this. That puts the ROF at 17 seconds for that attack (using ready-use ammo).

Also, according to the summary, both targets were being raked from stem to stern with 1000 rounds of 20mm fire. I reckon if this was done in RFB the ships would sink with a similar number of shells.
