The quoted RoF is 1.25 - 1.5 rounds per minute - 40 seconds is exactly the top of that range.
1…75 rounds per minute is faster than they could do.
Maybe 1.75 rounds per minute is avaliable when there are ‘ready shells’ inside the turret. US battleships retain it until modernization in 1930s.
Due to the safety reason, those ready shells space were eliminated in 1930s and after that, 40 seconds is ‘theoritically’ maximum reloading speed speed in-game standard battleships could get. In reality, ‘theoritically’ maximum is about 50 seconds.

The other main issue is Gaijin still plays two sides in the fire rate, is there anyone remembers USSR’s 180mm gun fire rate? They gave MK-1 on practical fire rate, but on MK-3, they gave trials fire rate. So give the historical rate of fire just depend on which one they love.
