Sustained fire rate is not that different realistically speaking.

The bigger oops is that they have the wrong gun in the Ground Element. The proper 21cm Mörser 18 is L/31, device entry 645. The used M18 L/16 is a captured Czech gun of which 22 were in inventory and known as the short 21cm Mörser.

The Hungarian entry is correct.

Edit: 645 not really correct either since M39 was a variant that was never produced. But aside from weight the technical information was identical so probably easiest to switch to 645 and delete the "M39".

The Hungarians bought the italian Obice da 210/22 so their gun should be the same as the italian gun, I very much doubt their modifications involved a longer gun barrel

I thought they also received a few Mörser 18 but can't find anything now, and the picture is that of the Obice da 210/22 so yes the entry must refer to it.
