Deck Gun Rate-of-Fire

Horst Mikaelis · 07-01-07, 10:46 AM

I've been poking around the net after trying both the RFB and TM mods to find some info on the rates-of-fire of deckguns. I found some here on the US 5" 25-caliber gun mounted late in the war on the USS Bowfin.

The stated ROF is ten rounds per minute! For those of you who are math challenged, that's one round every six seconds. So I'd say that TM is closer to reality in that aspect than RFB.

Admittedly, that's probably under optimal conditions.
