According to steam forums for BTD5, a Ninja Kiwi dev did this for balancing purposes. "Super Sentries are so much more powerful so we reduced the deployment rate by half."

I can't reply to the thread because its over a year old, but I would like to point out:

-From testing, Super Sentries fire exactly twice as fast as regular sentries. This makes the specialty upgrade nulify itself (double attack speed but half the sentries)

-It's a specialty upgrade, level 4 should have a distinct benefit over level 3

-If the upgrade reduces build speed, it should atleast specify that.

-The "Fast Engineering" upgrade has no effect on Engineer's super sentrygun build rate, negating the upgrade completely which it shouldn't.

-If the justification for reducing build speed is "Super Sentries are so much more powerful" then why not just nerf them?

Make super sentries fire only 30% faster than regular sentries or add some new effect instead like "Steel Pins (Sentry ammo) and Nails are electrostatically charged so they home in on bloons"
