Artillery rate of fire


Recommended Posts

I found a comprehensive chart of German arty stats in my old CMBN files dated November 2011.

NOTES:

MISSION = RATE OF FIRE

· p/barrel = rounds fired per min per single barrel at selected rate of fire i.e. Harass

· p/unit = rounds fired per complete unit i.e. all barrels in action

· Max = time to expend all rounds when firing all barrels at selected rate of fire

· Apart from 81mm Mortar then all other weapons appear to have the same rate of fire for Medium and Heavy... Maybe further testing needed

DURATION = TOTAL ROUNDS PER MISSION

· p/barrel = rounds fired per barrel over duration of mission. Nebelwerfers fire by multiples of its salvo.

 

Here is a much briefer US Arty chart dated the same:

CMBN US Artillery Characteristics

Rate of fire is 1 round per x seconds.

Duration is in rounds, or minutes if m suffix.

Just a thought, but would it be possible to mod the UI of the game to show these figures? For example, instead of saying "Light" in the artillery dialogue, could it say "2-4 RPM" or something like that?

Not sure if its as easy as making some new artwork, or if string text files need to be edited. Could be a useful mod though.
