about the real fleet boat mod...

[Palidian]

This is where training or experience comes in, the French old guard could fire their flint lock muskets at 6 rounds a minute, under fire. The great and powerful Beery, in his mod states the *best* anyone can do is one round every 30 seconds, for a gun that loads in 6 seconds.


Keep in mind he advertised a “real fleet boat”, and the best outcome, trained crew, moored up in dry dock would be 8 rounds a minute, this is not possible in Beery's mod, the best is two rounds. This makes his mod not quite as *real* as he lets on to believe. This is not an accurate simulation, and not actually *real*

Some would call it fraud.

Oh and by the way I have a Remingtion 1858 and a Colt Walker, you load kinda fast.

With dropped bullets and constant fumbling, his firing time goes way down. I've shot a bolt-for-bolt replica of that .58 cap-and-ball weapon myself. I can do it in about 20 seconds. With people shooting back, and having to account for combat nervousness, I doubt it.

Absolute load-and-fire rates and real-world combat fire rates are two different things entirely. You're "I know better than you" put-downs and links to sites we all know are less than useful.

If you really want to contribute something worthwhile, I'm still waiting for your calculations on how far battleships move when they fire. If not, then try adhering to the old adage: "Lead, follow, or stay out of the way".
