I use no fatigue cos I'm too lazy to be bothered doing what my NCO's would do on a real boat.

Gun reload times are a constant point of conjecture. An elite gun cre under perfect conditions could handle an 88mm reload in under 5 seconds. How long could they do that without getting tired and dropping a second or two each reload? How often do you have an elite gun crew ready to roll? (SH#Commander lets you start the game with one if you really want). How often are you firing under perfect conditions? (rarely I'd wager).

So it all depends on what level of realism you want and how patient you are. I'm not a patient man and I set it for 6 seconds on both gun types. somwhere around 10-12 if probably mopre realistic but some people say 20 seconds is more realistic. I'm not going to enter into that argument as it's been had here more than once before and doesn't need another airing.
