It's very labo(u)rous to load these guns. (muzzle loaded) For field artillery (12 lbr) you can fire it about 3x /minute. I've seen a Rodman fired (sans round) and it ain't fast. The implements are awkward to handle, plus you must load the powderbad and round (which is the size of a bowlingball)

I completely forgot! Here is a video of the exact same type of 64pdr as used on Iris being fired.

Australia really needs to modernize their artillery.

My fav order: "Depress gun!"
What's the point gun, you're just going to miss. You're not as accurate as the other guns.

I think it is good and fast enough - as long as the target doesn't move...
