5 identical forward weapons

sangrine

My ship:

Aux2bat Avenger with
5 Romulan Plasma dual cannons
2 Romulan Plasma turrets
1 kinetic cutting beam

Confusion:
When firing all 5 forward weapons, it seems that one (or more) forward weapons is slightly delayed. I briefly searched the forums but can not find a good explanation about this. Some people suggest using a different weapon in the fifth weapon slot. Is there a problem with 5 identical forward weapons?

Question:
Should I replace one of my front cannons with the Experimental Romulan Plasma Beam Array or the Romulan Hyper-Plasma Torpedo Launcher or something else? I am currently spec'd into energy weapons, and nothing in projectile weapons. re-spec is possible. My gameplay is 99% PvE.

I found the same problem with all Romulan DHC facing forward, This issue has been around for a while, and there has not been a decent explanation. It occurs with any weapons type (x5), but seems to be more noticable with romulan weapons.

In reviewing my combat logs, all 5 are firing at the same time doing dmg with small differences as energy is depleted. It appears that this is a visual issue, not a damage one
