NF Std. Cannon versus various armor types stats

Had a great round on homeland. Start was not very good but we had a nice comeback with regen armor and bio ml. My LT (not MKII) survived without problems till I decided to get a heavy.
I put 2xStandard ML and 1xBio ML on the heavy. Nearly full armor on front and sides. So I drived around the corner, unload the Missle Launcher, drive back for regen and repair.
Of course regen is a little bit slow for a heavy tank. But very nice for a LT. Also DU doesn't hurt that much.

 

Can you give me the formula to factor in ROF so I can do it myself? I got no idea what that means up there. I see a cannon speed and what I guess is the speed modifier. I don't quite understand it though.

Also, why would ROF matter so much? It'll just determine how much faster you can kill something. I just want to see how many shots something can take from various weapons, starting with the NF Std. Cannon as I always play BE.
