The maximum ROF for that gun on that day averaged 1 round per 23 seconds. As I've said before, we have to go with a sustainable number and the maximum speed on that day was 17 seconds or higher, but this number can't be sustained throughout the day's engagements because it includes ready-use ammo and it doesn't factor in fatigue. RFB has to use an average because we don't have the option of simulating ready-use ammo or the effect of fatigue - SH4 doesn't allow us to do that.
If we went with the maximum, in this case 17 seconds, we'd be simulating a ROF that can only be sustained through 90 rounds. If players were restricted to firing only 90 shells per day that would work fine, but that would be extremely unrealistic and anyway it's not the case.
Sorry, but RFB will never use the maximum ROF when ready-use ammo is in the equation because such a ROF cannot possibly be sustained throughout a long engagement. This leads to unrealistic results as I explain in post #110 (below).
