				 Re: Artillery ROFs question 
 Are these values at all realisitic?  It sounds like there's some slight inflation to these values.  For instance, an M109A6 can punch out 4 rounds a minute, but only for three minutes.  However, the sustained rate for 60 minutes is only 1 round per minute.  Sustained fire is what I would see as the default here since there isn't any real way to get artillery units to do this bombardment/quick shoot and then be inactive for a certain amount of time while the gun was allowed to cool down and return to a safe level of operation.  If we assume that the average turn is somewhere between 5-8 minutes wouldn't it be safe to assume these values should generally be under 10 if not considerably under 10? |
