Bug - Strategic Combat vs. Tactical Combat and multiple weapons

It is (well?) known that identical battles tend to have differing results when they are run at different speeds.

After some testing, I (re?)discovered that because a ship with multiple weapons doesn't fire tehm simultaneously, but consecutivly, ships sometimes can't fire all their weapons before first weapon has reloaded. This results in ships with many weapons not doing the damage they should be doing, or their point - defense not functioning the way it should, since some weapons are never used.

In addition, the delay between shots does not appear to depend wholly on combat speed, so ships with many weapons have even more problems when using
accelerated combat speed or strategic resolution.

In my tests, when running with 8X speed (in tactical combat) a ship used only about four or five of its about a dozen weapons (reload speed 1s). Now obviously this problem is smaller when using weapons with slower reload rates, but still, even if the "limit" were twenty weapons it's not enough when it comes to some mods... or point-defense, for that matter. In fact, this renders point-defense batteries of more than a few guns useless in multiplayer.

Interestingly 32X in strategic seems to produce similar damage results than 8X in tactical. My test were performed using two ships at point-blank range, other ship armed and other filled with armor, observing how many seconds it took to destroy the victim, or alternatively studying the targeting info for the armed ship and noting how many weapons never fired (e.g. always had 0/n sec recharge).
