Fallout Re: US Navy question

You both are ahead of me with the naval gun issue on the whole, but if the USN cites the minimum ROF Per Minute in auto (loader) mode at 16 and maximum ROF Per Minute in auto mode at 20; shouldn't the proposed ROF be higher then 8?
Again the technical issues of the game I leave to folks like you guys for these kind of issues. I understand the hard data submitted has to work within the turn/game clock to reach the final sum of all.
I suspect the difference/range (16-20 ROF) stated by the USN ref. submitted is the difference between the MK45 Mod 2 and
MK45 Mod 4

Below it's noted that the USN is using an extended (20NM) range cargo round on the MK45 Mod 4 gun. Also noted is that South Korea, Japan and Denmark are using the same gun. It is likely they probably used the earlier Mod 2 and possibly 0 as well as these guns can be both upgraded to the Mod 4 configuration.

The next two come from the Naval Weapons SYSCOM what's useful is the country user data in the second note Britain's choice 45 Class destroyers, those a 4.5" gun.

Highlighted data provides links to the other guns noted.


I've done enough "damage" for now so...Thanks for taking this on.

Now back too issues at work, transition issues/new contractor to deal with; hopefully winding down.

Regards,
Pat
