With good ammo in test conditions those guns were actually among the most accurate (flat trajectory and stuff) - just IRL they underperformed badly.

Radar doesn't really even come into picture, as back then guns were aimed with optical rangefinders and good, old, manual correction (assisted with planes or just with Standard Eyeball mark 1).

I read the wiki and says [Time between salvos was approximately 45 seconds.]

The true and real problem is the "high muzzle velocity" as it reduced barrel life and worsened the dispersion aka the chance to hit it's target.
