DRG,
you just posted a screenshot of the
Game Guide fragment that I quoted in the
opening post. What made you think I was unaware of it? On the contrary—I have read it and found it wrong, i.e. not reflecting the actual behavior of the game. I described an experiment that proves my statement. How would you interpret its outcome in terms of the quoted documentation for
Delay?
It is the following comment by
Imp that I suspected of being based on inside knowledge rather than on documentation, and still do:

You elaborate—

An experienced FOO and gunners will work better and faster and more accurately than ones with less experience or who may have taken damage.

Thanks, but what are the exact dependencies? Without them one feels like groping in the dark. A more transparent explanation in the documentation and in the interface of what contributes to each specific delay value would make the game much more user-friendly. And now I am forced to discover the underlying algorithm by lots of testing, which is a long and tedious job.
