Default Re: cannot adjust RoF?

you're right, i had given what i thought was an adequate RoF (10) and nothing had changed, i made it 20 and it only moved from 4 shots to 6 shots per turn.

could you recommend then what would best represent a 4-second engagement time RoF? i am using only the "revolver" ammo in the autloader (loadout is thus 13 shells instead of 45)so no averages necassary. would be interested in your opinion.

There really is no way in the game engine to represent "75mm self loading rifles" as with the French turrets. Nor is there any way to simulate the crew having to physically get out of the vehicle and bomb up from the rounds remeining in the hull magazine to the turret when the 24 or so rounds are expended.

Cheers

I am after the 105mm SK-105 Kurassier loading time, I have noticed that on the similar French AMX turrent (90mm IIRC) the RoF is 1 higher then with the Austrian 105mm cannon.

As the RoF in a M1 is around 10 seconds IIRC, I thought simply doubling the RoF for a 5 second period in the SK-105 would be adequate, if the calculation is indeed linear. The actual RoF (i.e. what the unit can then do in the game after editing) seems to however then only rise by 25% even the edited value is doubled.

The question is: should I simply continue to adjust the RoF rating until I get a "game" RoF that accurately reflects what I believe to be "real" - i.e. a doubling of firepower, say from 4 shots per turn to 7-8? I am really interested in the experiment as such.

As indicated in my post before, the reloading after the initial 13 rounds were expended would not be gamed - i.e. the units would have 13rounds loadout.

Just trying to get the most out of the engine!
Cheers,
S

the ROF for the 90 will be higher than for the 105, as the 105 is larger (general game data stuff, which ignores autoloaders, which are not modelled, so ROF is based on shell size)

Play around with ROF to your heart's content, as it will be your own OOB for your private use.

Cheers
Andy
