Artillery rate of fire

Is this behaviour or repeat missions themselves described anywhere in the manual, for I couldn't find it? If you won't mind my imperfect English I might volunteer to improve the manual, after I have obtained a full understanding of artillery in winSPWW2 of course, which will take time.

I always thought the Interface was Very intuitive...
The Game Guide page "Playing WinSPWWII -Tutorial" gives a quite in-depth explanation, including spotter aircraft, shifting fire, continued missions, etc. As the guide says:

"...you should know that the bombardment screen is much more difficult to describe than it is to use. The explanation is long-winded but once you’ve done it, the great interface will make it a breeze to use..."
