Rate Of Fire.

[4kEY]

Is there any definite answer to the difference between a unit WITH a specific rate of fire, and a unit WITHOUT a specific rate of fire?

Yes. A unit without a specific rate of fire means it has a ROF = 10.

ROF determines how many dice rolls (possible kills or suppression) in combat are available given the current strength of the unit, by multiplying the unit strength and rounding down. Examples:

Strength = 10, ROF = 9
dice rolls = 10 x .9 = 9

Strength = 11, ROF= 9
dice rolls of 11 x.9 = 9.9 rounded down = 9

Strength = 10, ROF= 11
dice rolls = 10 x 1.1 = 11

Thanks, deducter.

Do you reduce the ROF for heavy tanks in your mod?

Thanks, deducter.

Do you reduce the ROF for heavy tanks in your mod?

No. I found the best and arguably most realistic solution is to implement an experience penalty for upgrading outside of families, such that a 400 exp Panzer III upgraded to a Tiger I will have 150 exp remaining. I reduced fuel and ammunition significantly to simulate mechanical troubles, so Tigers and early Panthers will tend to stall out when attacking. I also increased the price significantly. A Tiger I is 1320 prestige.
