How cooldown works?

[ZeRen]

Hi, can pls someone explain me how weapon cooldown works?

in game there is a value in seconds (like 3,84), but in weapon_components.csv there is 75,...

how this work? how is it count?

and what is min/max windup?

I believe it uses some variation on micro-updates, which are 1/10th of a day.

Windup is the delay BEFORE a gun fire (once it has a target to shoot at), cooldown is how long to wait before it can fire again (and initiate a new windup). The higher the numbers, the longer the wait. The windup min-max is to randomize things so guns shoot at irregular intervals.

thx and what is the weird number as cooldown? obviously not seconds

Does anyone know if the windup is randomly between the min/max or if it is distributed across some kind of a curve?

I ask because I use a couple "firepower" equations to balance weapons and want to make sure that I accurately represent average cooldown in the calculations.

As far as i can tell, it's just a random between min-max. The DPS calculation does take cooldown and windup into acount.

Alright, thanks.
