Ordnance Board Investigation No. 659, Dec '44, referring to
"17 pdr on Land Service mounting firing AP." The paper goes on to say
that the error in accuracy was primarily due to poor ballistics, that
is, erratic flight path. The paper supposes this may have been caused by
projectile yaw brought on by excessive clearance between projectile body
and gun bore, and/or by muzzle vibration while firing. The paper urges
that the innaccuracy of the 17 pdr be investigated.

Sorry should have been burst fire. What I mean is a a very high rate of fire that can be achieved. Hence the Sherman 105mm example. For instance the four rounds of 105mm fired quickly could demolish a house and provide a dust cloud [ assuming its brick built] within a minute.  Or if the commander is firing for an effect and observation he may fire one or two rounds in the minute.

Unfortunately we cannot easily get gun cammanders to change much the rate of fire which tends to an average rate in the games I have seen. Perhaps it is possible that the AI has a situational awareness and does increase RoF if the target is dangerous and the range nakes missing unlikely! ?  I do not know. Only an observation really.
