When are the American 14 inch and 16 inch guns for battleships getting their correct reloads?

It’s incredible that after six months of acknowledged evidence, the reload rates for American 14-inch and 16-inch battleship guns remain incorrect. Contrary to the developers’ assumption that post-1930s modernizations reduced rates of fire by removing turret shell storage, primary sources—including the 1935-36 Annual Report of the Commander in Chief—confirm that rates of fire not only matched but exceeded pre-modernization records, with explicit praise for improved performance. Further, William Jurens’ analysis of Short Range Battle Practice (SRBP) demonstrates that battleships consistently achieved rates above 2 rounds per minute (RPM), with some classes like the Pennsylvania hitting 2.51 RPM. By 1938, the Navy even imposed a 24-second (2.5 RPM) minimum interval to curb excessive speeds—proving these guns could fire far faster than the current 1.5 RPM (40-second reload) in-game. Historical data from 1924-25 SRBP (e.g., Colorado-class at 1.98 RPM, Pennsylvania at 2.51 RPM) further debunks the ‘ready rack’ theory. These guns should be adjusted to at least 2 RPM (30-second ace reload), if not higher, to reflect documented capabilities. Ignoring these sources undermines both historical accuracy and player trust.
