So it seems like they both track about the same, but in reality when they both shoot at a target with a signature Resolution of 125m, the effektive tracking of the large Gun is 0.0056rad/s, because of its signature resolution. In other words, even though both guns show about the same tracking, the large ohne is way more slower than the medium one, and thats why they changed it. The value you see there is still rad/s, but the resolution of all Guns has been increased to 40000, so you can better see how good a Gun is actually tracking
So you've just shown that they didn't need a weapon accuracy score, just to modify the existing tracking values.
Rad/s is not difficult to grasp. I had a general understanding of how it worked before i joined the game. Weapon accuracy score however, says nothing about how the relative movement between ships affects accuracy. It also has no meaning unless compared to another weapon accuracy score. I cannot tell how well a gun tracks, i can only tell how well it tracks compared to another gun. And so when it comes to the overview i cannot tell if my gun has a good chance or a terrible chance (unless they make 'ship evasion score')
Or we could just keep rad/s and angular velocity.

There are a lot of people that doesn't know how that the signature Radius of your enemy actually change your tracking. A BS who flies with 0.1rad/s can be hit, while a frig that only has 0.01rad/s is to fast for your gun... So what reason is there for a tracking value when a ship which is faster gets hit, but not the other that flies slower...
Calling it weapon accuracy score does not change that. Noobs still wont understand why a faster battleship is easier to hit than a slower frigate. Not without someone telling them or making a new column on the overview that modifies angular velocity with sig radius. Its not the tracking score that needed to change, it was the overview if anything.
Having rad/s tells noobs how accuracy is calculated using angular velocity. It can also be visualised. For example, 0.1rad is roughly a minute on a clock. To a noob, weapon accuracy score has no relation to anything on the overview or anything in real life. Its only worth comes from comparing it to other weapons.
What reason is there for it?
