Ok. Whether will be my very skilled units, for example Exp. = 100, to shoot more than ROF=5??? No.

From actual testing:

at experience 120 the GAZ-3937's with ROF 9 all have an actual in game ROF of 5.

at experience 120 the Nona and Vena SP-mortars with ROF 5 all have an actual in game ROF of 5.

at experience 150 the GAZ-3937's all have an actual in game ROF of 9.
And guess what? At experience 150 the Nona's and Vena's have an actual in game ROF of 9.


Save yourselves a lot of time and effort and DON'T BOTHER about differences in the ROF stat. It's not important.

My guess is you've made tests using direct fire, no?

Made an experiment with clones of the same M113GA1/Tampella 120mm with RoF 3, 5, 7 and 9, purchased in groups of 6 each

RoF 3: 3 rounds fire mission fired

RoF 5: 6 rounds fire mission fired

RoF 7: 8 rounds fired

RoF 9: 10 rounds fired

The game deals differently with direct and indirect fire re RoF, in DF mode all the other factors are important, in indirect mode the RoF is dominant as it seems.

Thanks Marek! That's what I was talking about all along, I thought I had made it clear.

ROF value is highly determinant in indirect fire aka artillery missions, not unit-to-unit direct fire. Reversely, experience rating of indirect-firing units don't matter much (experience of FO unit does though).

[narwan]

You are correct. It does matter for indirect fire density. My bad, I thought that was dependent of actual ROF too, not just theoretical ROF.

So there is 1 factor where theoretical ROF is a significant factor and that is in the amount of rounds delivered in one turn as part of a fire mission. Looks like bothering about the ROF stat for arty units might be of interest after all...

Ok - good discussion, and a happy-end, now that we all know what we're talking about (indirect fire)! So it's clear that the ROF rates should be worked over...
