Problem with weapon delay in space battle

[exar-kun]

During modding, we have encountered problems when playing around with the weapon delay on bigger ships to make the game more 'realistic'. Standard weapon delay on big ships is one, but when I set weapon delay higher then 1, effects are not noticable. I set weapon delay all the way to 30 and still no percievable results. Has anyone encountered this problem as well or is just a bug on my comp? If u have encountered it, is there any way to make weapon delay work?
