Boost M14 47mm firerate to an accurate level

i know it will fall on deaf ears but historically the 47mm piece of the m14 was able to fire at 28 rounds er minute

while the 15 rpm of the game was unique to the firing of HEAT munitions that arent the AP used by said gun ingame.

Wikipedia isn’t a reliable source.

28 RPM sounds more like maximum theoretical ROF with perfectly trained crew in ideal conditions at a firing range, measuring the first shots before the loader gets tired.

This doesn’t mean that the tank couldn’t use a ROF buff, but 28 RPM is too much.

Would rather see bette reload time for Italian tank mgs since they use magazines/ boxes but are as slow as belt-fed mgs.

i agree with u but 15 is way too low considering this, unless it fired actual heat rounds that is. donf forget that cruiser gun gets its 22 rpm optimal firerate.

also this

you need add the tank reload perk on the loader and machinegunner/gunner for fast reload cannon and mg

7

standard gun reload times are too low for the 47 historically and balance wise, thats my point

8

This is relative for game balance, most tank have slow base reload time for not machinegun the infantry with the main cannon

9

it could at least be on par with the 22 rpm competition tho, who got better magazined mgs too. more realstic as well

10

It can, we can ask, but dev decide if do it, for the moment slap on tanker reloading perk

Thaths ok i was only pointing it out

13

Are you talking about the new green perk wich cost 16 points? Isn’t it only for loader and canon ?

14

any tanker can have it but only works on current loader, gunner if theres no loader or loader is dead

wikipedia is indeed not reliable as a source, however from my experience most that claim so end up using even less reliable sources.

The only real way to figure this out would be actually checking the real gun out, looking at its lock and breach, checking out how big and heavy said tank round was, looking at how comfortable the loader could perform his task, and then comparing all of this with comparable guns and tanks of the period.

The result will be that no one actually has the time to do these crazy things - so a bit of play for balance sake isn’t all that “hurtful” for authenticity, as long as an IS-2 has a long reload time, while a Panzer III has a short reload time most people won’t complain or even notice.

i posted wiki for simplicity sake but every source i checked menitoned the distiction between 28 ideal normal firerate against the 15 HEAT a minute. and as i already said the 22 ideal rpm of the 2 pdr is already ingame

17

Isn’t better to take the other special perk for gunner wich cost 16 yellow points too instead of the reload speed one?

18

if u got gunner and loader u can have both, else its quicker aim for these pesky weakpoints vs more firerate. Depends if u charge(better to take reload) or stay in the back(precision is king).
