EU Questions & Answers

For ex, Lorraine 40t, tier 8 medium....
It has 300 damage gun with 6 shot cartridge plus 38s load time and waits 3.5 between the shots....
So
6 x 3.5 = 21s for emptying the cartridge plus 38s loading the cartridge so 59s, that mean 1800 DPM...isn't that little bit low, compared to Panther II for ex, 9 * 240 = 2160....
I know delivering 1800 damage inside of 18s is powerful but firing a shot less in a minute????
I didn't calculate the other french vehicles but I have a feeling they have the same problem also...AMX 50B 120, 4 shell cartridge 1600 damage inside of the 10s but Lorraine can deal 1800 damage and take out a tier 9 med but if AMX can penetrate everything to IS-7 (which is questionable, IS-7 is awesome now, frontally it bounces gold shells from AMX, 350 mm penetration, routinely) IS-7 will sit there 800 HP left, eat the AMX alive....
