I watched a Canadian army news broadcast regarding the M777 (155mm light howitzer) last weekend. There was a quiz in it about the firing rate which is actually considerably faster than the technical specifications of the gun. Given the wide variation over myriad equipment and capabilities of the crews, the specs can't be relied upon to determine the "real" firing rate.

My experience using the deck gun is, as someone has pointed out earlier, akin to firing the main gun on an Abrams. We know this technology was not used on WW2 fleet subs.

Given the software and the limits to which our friends can modify it, certain compromises are going to have to be made. I've read Beery's numerous posts on the topic and his logic and reasoning on why he has modelled the deck gun they way he has and it is very sound. He's done some research and has stats to back his conclusions. Essentially, he is taking the end results versus individual shots. Is it perfect? No, but given the limitations of the current version of the game, it's probably as close as we're going to get.

Now if they dropped the gyrostabilizer....:hmm:
