60 divided by (The shown rate of fire ROF) will tell you the time between shots for turrets. It takes 0.12 seconds for the Machine Gun to reload, while it takes 1.2 seconds for Flak Turrets to reload. However, Flak turrets have a "Best" damage filter against air units AND splash damage, while the Machine Gun has a "Good" damage filter against air and no splash damage.

TL;DR: Flaks have Splash damage and do more damage to Air than Machine Guns. I'd also heard that Flak Tanks have a special damage bonus against Coindors, but I do not know if that applies to the Flak Turret.
