The mod IS wrong wrt guns.
The GAME is wrong wrt to guns.
The choice is simply HOW to be wrong.
Palidian, et al, would have the ROF match the spec sheet value. The ROF might be right. The end results in the SH4 engine would be wrong. The deck gun would be the dominant weapon of the submarine, or at least an equal to torpedos. It wasn't in RL, so that's clearly wrong. Right specifics, wrong end result.
RFB has a super slow Rate Of Reloading. Instantaneously (time between 2 shots), the ROF is wrong. It's wrong. Over an entire gunnery engagement with a likely target, it's more or less right. So the wrong specifics, but the right end result.
It's not really any more complicated than that. I think there is room for intelligent discussion on the exact ROF to achieve a historical result, and Beery is open to such a discussion for his mod. He doesn't want spec sheet ROFs, he has those, he wants logs of RESULTS because what he's trying to get at is a simulation of the right OUTCOMES for particular decisions on the part of the skipper.
