Bit of a reality argument here.
Turns in ASL are approximately 2 minutes. There you are with your Tiger 2, sitting in Potsdamer Platz in May 1945 watching as a swarm of SU 76's trundle towards your position. Buttoned up you hold your fire, boom... miss due to BU mod, motion and target size mods. The coloured die isn't a 1. What to do...intensive fire? Meanwhile the swarm of su76's continue to approach, move behind and destroy you. Realistic?
AFV crews in WW2 could, as far as have read, theoretically fire in the region of 10-20 rounds over that 2 min period subject to crew quality and immediate in turret ammo storage area. Is a 1 RoF for most AFV's realistic?
I know there are forum members who have served in armoured units. Is a Rate of fire of 1 realistic in terms of the speed in which a tank crew could lay down aimed shots at a specific target(s)?
Thoughts?
