Within War Thunder the Warriors cannon (L21A1 RARDEN) has an 80 rounds/minute fire rate, which is incorrect. Historically the L21A1 has a fire rate of 90 rounds per minute. I have looked online for its fire rate and all that I have come across say that it is 90rpm. Can this be changed.
Royal Ordnance’s specs for RARDEN in the BDEC catalogue for 1980 says 90 rounds per minute also
Bug report time!
the issue is that in the documents provided by the MOD that get released, when rate of fire is mentioned its doctrinal rate of fire not cyclic ROF so there is a miss-match between 90 and 80 the cyclic rof is 90 however i cannot produce (sensitive) the documents i have proving unfortunately.
also although the gun is loaded in 3’s it can fire 6 rounds at a time
Unfortunately the one MoD/Army doc gaijin are using for that (ITV 1987, Vehicles and Mounted Weapon Systems, Pam. 52) does say “Cyclic Rate”, rather than just RoF. So it’s hard to prove otherwise, even though manufacturer data and just hearing the gun’s cadence says it’s faster than whatever rate the gun fires at ingame
I’m not even sure if they’ve fixed that game bug where autocannons were fairly universally firing at slower rates than they were configured with. I seem to remember they acknowledged the rates for Bradley and some other vehicles were not working as intended.
