The rate of fire for the aair on the .50 cal M2 HB MG - veh is set to 25/100/200.
I don't believe this is correct.

I don't believe this is correct.

is it the 4 gun HT version? Rates of fire are relative in the game, depending on various factors like training, experience, ... and the like. The ESTAB values are likely based on default unit values, which are around the 50% mark,

ROF's in the game will rarely match published values. They are massaged quite a bit to work with the combat mechanics.

I say I don't believe it is correct because it is 5 to 10 times the ROF of similar cal aair weapons represented in the game. I'm comparing Estab ROF's, not actual.

Edit: no, it's not the Quad, but the ROF is actually higher than the Quad.
I'm fairly certain its a mistake[:)]

Yes, I agree something looks odd. But since AA fire is so abstracted and the axis airforce is rather minimal in this game this will have no effect on game play 99% of the time. Also, I'm not even sure ROF is taken into account in the current AA algorythm. Good catch, I wouldn't worry about it.[:)]

I wasn't worried at all. I changed it, but figured I would point it out as there may have been others interested.

This is the forum for that, correct? Or should minor Estab errors be sent via email to someone?
