Just tested this again before I have to leave the house. Absolutely %#$@%$ fantastic!
You have done us an amazing service, kv29.

Regarding how this impacts ROF:
After only a few attempts to use this, I think the reload time for rounds can certainly drop towards the specifications of the gun. I still that that the spec data is not applicable to a submarine platform vs a ship though. If the ROF was listed as 8-9 for the gun (be it on a CV or a SS), then I'd drop it a ways, maybe 6 rpm tops (10 second reload). 12-15 might make more sense, but even in a wind state of 5, S-42 unmoving I was taking 10 seconds for each aimed shot, and missing on top of that. That is with the reload set to 4 seconds (half RL)!
If the boat was moving in any sea at all? Aiming dominates ROF considerations with this mod in place, IMO.
I'm fine with a stationary boat on a calm sea shooting 6+ rpm, frankly.
Now all we need to do is up the gunning capability of warships and armed merchies a hair.
I need to try this vs a DD, but I'm confident the days of gun duels with DDs are over, even with their abysmally low ROF!
