Quadruple mounts reduce the rate of fire significantly compared to twin or triple mounts. Consider the following: The French 15'' quad mount had a RoF of 1.33 rounds per minute.

The German 15'' twin mount of 1939 had a RoF of 3 rounds per minute, according to NavWeaps:[URL]http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNGER_15-52_skc34.htm [/URL]. Look at what this implies. This states, that with twin's as opposed to quadruple mounts, I can get 2 1/4 as many shells into the air, and that I have a much lesser chance of going out of action due to shell damage. Does an additional 6x6'' guns worth it?
