Listed ratings for gun ROF simply don't apply to combat.

Impossible to explain it better.
The main factor for a fast or slow ROF is related to our own human possibilities in a determined enviroment.
I think this has been discussed before, but lets refresh it a bit. Lets imagine the worst scenario: the weather is bad (which is game modeled) and the gun swings a lot (which is NOW modeled) so the guy at the trigger has to wait for the right moment when the sight appears to be on the horizon line, the gun crew cannot bringing more ammo at a fast pace because the deck is wet and moving a lot and is being constantly washed by waves, and to make things even worst the enemy is firing at them with the same or more powerfull explosive shells...
and what about the shells weight? how many 65 lbs shells would they be able to handle until they get really tired slowing everything down?
btw, all the crew seems to be almost immune to gun fire (really bad modeled, can we change that??)
The ROF is an average, just that.
