Rate of Fire T--34-85?

Why Rate of Fire T-34-85 identical with Royal tiger?
Clearly that in T-34-76 crew 4, but in T-34-84 crew 5 person!
But at all these tanks RoF = 7.

Rounds of comparable size with those of Tiger, bigger than 76mm... Besides, ROF isn't all that crucial for main gun ROF (except arty units) in-game, other factors like weapon size and crew affect the performance more. The ROF value in OOB info influences more secondary weapons - machineguns etc.

OK....so what the problem ? A Koenigstiger has a 5 man crew as well. Is it any easier to load a 85mm round than a 88mm round in a cramped turret ? The majority of tanks with a 75mm gun up to a 90mm gun in the game are a 7. Sherman's are all 7 and that includes the Firefly . All the German tanks with 75mm guns are 7 and that includes the Panther. Once you get to a 75mm round the ROF tends to be 7 and drops to 6 once you get to 90 but there is next to NO difference in the game between a 6 and a 7 ROF but there is when you go from 7 to 8. So technically the guns 85 and up should be 6 to reflect the larger round but as I said it's a moot point as there is next to zero difference between a 6 and a 7 and that's why we don't bother with it. Experience has a far greater influence on how many shots you get than ROF ( arty is a different issue )
