Subject: Rates of fire (was DS2 Balance)
Hi A magazine published in the 80s (War Machine), describes that during the trials of the Marconi Improved Fire Control System a British Chieftan MBT was able to hit 3 small targets 3 times each between 1600m to 2900m within 110 degrees of arc in under 53 seconds using 2 different ammos. This of course wasn't under battlefield conditions, the targets weren't shooting back presumably.
