Firing rate modification?

Like Bofors and lvakan on lvtdgd m/40 and CCKW 353 AA.
It just feels like trying to shoot planes with a howitzer.

Been looking up old WT videos on Youtube and in my opinion the fire rate was much faster in good old times.(yes, i know crew level plays a role here too)

Dunno what do you mean by "old times", but I asked dev team - no such changes recently.

Crew level do not influence fire rate, only reload rate. (and both vehicles you mention use guns with mags, so fire rate of the initial mag is not influenced by crew level, only reload between mags is).
