What is the Rate Of Fire for a Hercules?

This is important information, and needs to be provided for all units offered in the game.

If the Hercules ROF is 250, then it's effective damage at 340 (max range) is ROF/500 x DPS(571), or for 250 it would be 260. As the EGAT turns 500 ROF, (per lvl 5 turret info), its effective damage at max 340 range is as stated of 467. Basically the Herc is a building block for the EGAT placement for AA in your platoon. Two EGATS produce 2 x 467 or 934 per shot damage, while 2 Hercs produce 2 x 260 (assuming 250 ROF) or only 520 per shot. Since the EGAT is actually 20 less than a Herc per unit, 3 EGATS = 1401 damage/shot and cost 180 build points; while 3 hercs @ 80 will only produce (if ROF=250) 830 damage/shot and cost 240 build points. The choice here is clear. The math is correct and only needs be adjusted for the actual Rate Of Fire for the Hercules. Will Kixeye please provide this and the same ROF info on every one of their units in the WC game? This would be a useful analytical tool for Platoon formation. Thank You for Your prompt response!
