German Artillery Characteristics

MISSION = RATE OF FIRE

p/barrel = rounds fired per min per single barrel at selected rate of fire i.e. Harass

p/unit = rounds fired per complete unit i.e. all barrels in action

Max = time to expend all rounds when firing all barrels at selected rate of fire

Note - Apart from 81mm Mortar then all other weapons appear to have the same rate of fire for Medium and Heavy... Maybe further testing needed

DURATION = TOTAL ROUNDS PER MISSION

p/barrel = rounds fired per barrel over duration of mission. Nebelwerfers fire by multiples of its salvo.
