I did not understand what the wiki said about the Shock Freeze alt

[The_one_and_only 97]

• The Freeze of any modification with any level of micro upgrades and the "Shock Freeze" alteration has a limit on temperature -1 and a cooling rate of 1.2/s (base 0.6/s + 100% of the alteration). For 2 ticks (0.5 s) the target will be cooled to a temperature of -0.6. When the active impact ends, the target begins to defrost and makes it 3 seconds, gradually restoring the speed of the gun and the body from 46% to 100%.

What do they mean by "makes it 3 seconds"? Is it the time taken for enemy to restore speed from 46% to 100% or after 3 seconds the enemy will start restoring its speed by that amount?

And also why does it say in the alteration's page that freezing rate is +200% but here only +100%, which one is correct?

The temperature wiki and the augment page are 2 differents pages - they might not be synchronized. The difference is not that big as the turret would be could down to -1 in less than a second in both case so the return to temperature of 0 would take the same time.
As soon as the temperature of the tank becomes less than zero, it begins to return to its original state at a rate of 0.25/s. Thus, after exposure, the tank which has been cooled to the minimum temperature level (-1) will be slowed down for 4 seconds (1 / 0.25 => 4s). The system only count temperature recovery once per second. 
Turret freezing rate is 0.6/s -> so about 1.2 second is required to reach temperature of -1. With the alteration +100% (in the the example of the temperature wiki page) that would be a freezing rate of 1.2/s -> 0.8 second is required to reach temperature of -1. If indeed it is +200% (as per the spec of the augment wiki page) it would be a freezing rate of be 1.8/s, so about half a second for the tank to reach temperature of -1. 
If the you attacked for 0.5s (2 ticks) the turrets is could down to -0.6 (+100%), or -1 (+200%). The calculation will give you -1.2 but the maximum is -1.
From -0.6 it takes 3 seconds to defrost and the speed will move from 46% to 100%.
From -1 it takes 4 seconds to defrost and the speed will move form 10% (the minimum) to 100%.

The defrosting of 0.25/s is a continuous process, but as the cooling is a faster rate (+0.6 standard equipment) it would only start when you stop attacking. In about 1 second to 2 seconds attack the turret temperature is at -1. From that point it would take 4 seconds to completely defrost.

Temperature page is outdated (should be fixed soon). Update #577 doubled Shock Freeze's freezing rate from 100 to 200%
