BELOW -This expands on the top pic
(Veterans, summer mid-day, stationary, in command)

I issued area fire orders into empty ground 150 metres to their front and logged the ammo depletion rates over several turns of continual firing.
The standard rates below often randomly varied each turn by one shell up or down.
The Sturmtiger sometimes spent an entire turn reloading without firing.
Note - Experience levels affect ROF, for example Elites fire 1 or 2 shells faster per minute, and Conscripts fire less.
