By the way, the battleships they show fighting are the Japanese battleship Mikasa and the Russian battleship Borodino, which fought at the Battle of Tsushima.
Good eye
OMG dude...thats amazing...im not even into ships that much to notice it
John C which battleship won?
@@nedimbajgoric2909 yeah
nedh The Mikasa. Tsushima was more of a massacre than a battle: the Japanese utterly crushed the Russians. Borodino was hit by shells from a different Japanese battleship and suffered a magazine explosion.
"Gunner, do you see that target?"
"Yes, milord..."
"I don't want to."
"....Understood, milord."
Now drive me closer. I wish to hit them with my sword!
excuse me but what is this reference?

Note:
American doctrine calls for salvo-firing cruise-missiles, one - to overwhelm defenses, second - to inflict as much damage in as short as possible time.
Russian air-force (and many others) use salvo fire (or ripple) for unguided projectiles - increasing probability of hit.

Fan fact- The Iowa class battleship stayed in active duty with the US navy until its retirement in the 80’s. During its time it had many upgrades which included a CWIS and cruise missiles.
Missouri retired after the first gulf war
danielaung691 she was not the only Iowa class battleship
Kali Southpaw thank you for pointing that out
I visited the Iowa last year (I live 10 miles from it) it was awkward how they mounted the missiles on the deck inside giant armored containers. It wasnt made for missiles.
@Kali Southpaw
I dont wanna be that guy but "curse"
In Air Defense Artillery "Salvo" is when 2 missiles are fired at a single target.
Also used in medieval times too. Fire all catapults or trebuchets at the same time and obliterate fortifications.
Well 2 or 3 shots
he says salvos aren't really used but that is simply not true. Field Artillery still use Salvo mass fires.
Hmm... maybe, you can called that "the concentrate fire at the same time."

Ironically, WOWS accuracy is much greater than the accuracy of any battleship ever built. Even the Iowa-class couldn’t hit things reliably at 30,000 yards or more.
@@bkjeong4302 that is correct and I am aware of that. But an arcade game being that RNG dependent is frustrating to play
@@bkjeong4302 Really? Because Scharnhorst and Gneisenau engaged and sank HMS Glorious on 24km rendering Glorious unable to fight back on the third salvo fired six minutes in. Good luck doing that in World of Warships ... when ingame her guns can only do about 18km. Also Scharnhorsts secondaries took out the HMS Ardent on 15km distance - in game her secondaries have about half that range.
Maybe the Sovjet ships are far more accurate than in reality, not the proper vessels though.
abc def
Such long-range hits are talked about precisely because they are so unusual (and in this case, the engagement happened entirely because the British officer in charge was an idiot, otherwise Glorious would have at least escaped and probably even bombed the German ships).
Pretty much all the battleships in the game have main batteries that hit far more reliably than they should.

An additional benefit of salvo fire during the Age of Sail to the dreadnought era is countering gun smoke obstruction of view. Black powder and even relatively smokeless powder in large caliber guns created heavy clouds of smoke that made it difficult to see and aim at targets and smoke obstruction was a major limiting factor in the effective fire rate of early guns. By firing the guns as a salvo, it allowed the individual gun crews, and later when fire control was centralized, the fire director, to track the target almost to the moment of firing, and gave more time for the smoke to clear before the next salvo was fired.
I love how this channel actually takes consideration into how their graphics look unlike The Infographics Show which puts down a modern guided missile destroyer and calls it a battleship... Thank you for actually paying attention to detail Simple History!
I narrated this one and can confirm that the artists designing the animations REALLY want historically accurate depictions of the topics we cover. 😉
So it’s like that moment in dodge ball where one team holds on to their dodge balls and throws them all at once?
In a way yes, but volley fire is a bit more closer to it
Sneakleak96 ah okay.
A salvo is more akin to you and your boys throwing water balloons at unsuspecting victims, the next salvo won't be nearly as effective as your targets are in cover. I was told during my time in service that modern artillery with precision munitions still cause around 80% of their casualties during the first salvo, so the idea is to get as many shells in the area at the same time as possible either by MRSI tactics or MLRS platforms.
Naval salvo is more for coordinating the guns to make fire control easier. Ground based artillery is more for the surprise and shock.
Yeah the same way, sometimes kids choose to fire a balls at once or just one after another or just one ball under one on the left one on his right, it is pure logic to know this
"reffered to as the thinking man's action game" by literally no-one other than those promoting it
Well, they need to actually promote it if they want the sponsor money.
Yep, and I hate that promotion. It just sounds so elitist.
It's the quote itself that pisses me more than the anything in the ad... Nobody calls it that, and unless you play in top level miniscule strategy is needed, just position yourself well and fire as much as possible
Yea there is no thinking in a game where you just float to the enemy and shoot then
It definitely isn't the most though provoking game... but to say you don't need to think at all is precisely the problem we have in the game.
idiots exposing their citadel, going to stupid positions, no idea when to support some one else. No idea when to attack or fall back. No idea when to use AA defensive fire, smoke, or speed boosts at the correct time.
People repair the instant they get a single fire, just to get 3 fires a second later. People not knowing how to even dodge torpedoes.

Gun crew: “Capt, what guns are be supposed to fire?”
Captain: *”YES”*
A similar concept is still being used, called MRSI (Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact) where an artillery piece can fire a series of shells in a computer-controlled pattern so that they all reach the target almost simultaneously. The German Panzerhaubitze 2000 has this ability.
EDIT: This is done by varying the firing angle and/or the amount of propellant and only works for targets somewhat closer than the maximum firing distance.

Final protective fire is called a Danger Close fire mission by those serving in the australian military.. id dare say its the same across various militaries
No it's not. Going by your name, you should know it means the guns remain loaded and laid on a target with a predetermined number of rounds to fire when ordered. Used to cover withdrawing friendly forces.
The only time you can fire the first round without verbal command from the det commander. Subsequent rounds are then fired as fast as possible till the predetermined number is reached.
Danger close requires the FO/CP/JFECC to challenge the the supported call sign to accept the risk after each round is fired. That's why it's one round FFE each time with danger close.
@jeremy ray haven't seen it yet.
I know this is a late comment, but this reminds me of the "broken arrow" fire support in the Vietnam war.

How bout more infantry tactic next?
Really wanna learn about it
Same
infantry tactics changed drastically in ww2. and are now more versatile than ever in the post cold war period. you'd have to consider a specific time period to get the best answer tbh. in 1939, everyone but the axis was still using trench warfare.
Just broadside em'!
Very enjoyable video, and very accurate. But you forgot what is the most griping artillery command of all, Broken Arrow.
Broken Arrow is when a friendly position is overrun by the enemy, and the friendly calls in an artillery strike upon their own position. This is significant both emotionally and psychologically for multiple reasons.
First, the friendly calling in an artillery strike upon his own position has decided to lay down his own life for just the chance of winning the battle, rather than retreating. He intends to hold the enemy in place as long as he can until the artillery comes and wipes out all of them, himself included. He puts the mission above his own life.
But it is not enough for the overrun friendly to lay down his life, his comrade must then also make the decision to put the mission above the life of his friend, and follow through with firing upon his friend's position, knowing it will kill him along with the Enemy.
For Broken Arrow to succeed it requires three things, the man calling it in willing to lay down his own life, that same man fighting hard enough to hold the enemy in his position, and his friend willing to take the life of his friend for the mission.
Human nature considered, I could not think of a harder call to make in battle.
I’m so grateful that you have proper ship models unlike infographics show’s war videos
Simple Gymnastic's: Dodgeball, Our line of infantry practiced the art of Salvo/volley regularly. EVERY man get's covering fire. NOBODY get's left behind.

Kim Jong-un such a dumb comment
I had a friend whose dad served in Vietnam. He said the scariest thing he ever heard in war was the sound of a battleship round flying over his head, knowing how big that 2000 lb round was
In video games it's called alpha or group fire, designed to instantly vaporise a target or break it's shields before it has a chance to recover.
Salvo is basically:
*"I want every gun we have to fire on that man"*
Bruh you copied like the first two comments at the top lol
Meanwhile in the Metal Gear universe:
“ROCKET SALVO, ROCKET SALVO!”
Well if he did a proper rocket salvo he'd waste it on some poor Russian private on the opposite side of the compound
Any UA-cam channel: *talks about ships*
World of Warships: yo, wanna some money?
The thumbnail really shows how desirable this tactic is: fire all guns, no misses, no return fire.
Another salvo in field artillery: slowly increasing the range at a certain rate so that the shells fall in front of your advancing troops, making their advance easier and the enemy keeping their heads down
Never heard of the Salvo. Only heard of the broadside term.
I've only heard broadside used when talking about old ships like hms victory (that's a broadside no one would want, 104 guns i believe)
@@tesstickle7267 broadside is salvo for wooden ships. In those days wooden ships had no turrets so they could only fire on either side but for a few guns. So the BROAD SIDE of the ship had to be pointed at the enemy to shoot.
HMS victory had a 52 gun broadside, because 104 guns total (52 to each side)

Did it hit?
No sir. We only have 1.8 sigma.
We hit Hood. She blew up.
Why does it always do that.
Captain: FIRE A SALVO
Gunnery Sergeant : How many guns are we firing !?
Captain : YES !!!
Also of note. During the age of sail and black powder, a salvo was a way to maximize the effect of your ship's guns because, if fired individually, the smoke from preceeding guns would obscure the sight for the following guns. By firing in salvo - especially the first salvo of the engagement - would be ensured to be well aimed, timed and hit true. Therefore the initial salvo of any engagement was crucial as such engagements quickly became obscured by smoke and therefore rate of fire, precision and thus effect was greatly reduced. In many engagements, the very first salvo would be the one determining the outcome of the battle.
This is the reason why Crossing the T is such a dangerous move.
Last part not entirely true. Salvo of missiles could overwhelm CIWS of enemy ship.
Which is why they're working on LAWS

Every sailor gangsta until the enemy ship use the salvo tactic

I've learned that naval salvo still exists in this missile era. A fleet would launch multiple missiles at once in order to exceed the enemy's intercepting capability. If enemy fleet has defense system that can shoot down 10 missiles at once, 50 missiles striking at the same time would make 40 hits. Same 50 missiles launched 10 by 10 would do no damage, giving enemy intercepting system time to prepare for next 10 missiles that they can shoot down again. That is why today's fleets pursue larger number of launch cells on each vessels, and multiple kinds of launching platform else than ships for instance attacker planes or naval helicopters.
Thanks. This was historically and educationally valid. Oh. And it was fun to watch. My impression was that land based artillery could absolutely map fields of fire far in advance of the engagement. Hence, "walking fire" to theoretically "plough the road" for an infantry advance.
This was exactly what was done at the start of the advance during Operation Market Garden. It's beautifully depicted in the movie.
I’m surprised that you didn’t mention that a full salvo could actually mover the ship thru sheer force of recoil.
No. The recoil of the guns firing at the same time would not EVEN come close to the amount of force needed to move a ship over, especially if the ship is maneuvering. Imagine using a shotgun to push a motor boat. It wouldn’t event TOUCH that
i have been to normady were naval artillery shells hit. Those Impact crater are DEEP like REALLY REALLY DEEP
There is not a lot better than a rolling broadside of a ship of the line. Fact.
there's the missile salvo theory which relies on multiple missiles to saturate a ship's defenses. Salvos are still in use but in different form.
There's a lot more to salvos. Artillery salvos are important because having individual fire gives time for enemy to reach for cover. Having all guns hit at the same time would prevent the enemy from reacting.
Without salvo fire, a single shell can land and alert the enemy for cover preventing further damage.
Where as an entire salvo landing will deal way more damage, and then the enemy goes for cover.
Don't forget that in Vietnam, although we had missiles and aerial warfare - it became apparent that although the effective range of battleships was inferior - once fired from a 16 inch cannon, no anti-aircraft weapon or fighter jet could stop a 2000 lb shell from finding its mark. The Salvo still had a place in modern warfare at least at that time.
At first, i though the video is about battle of savo island.
I play world of warships gotta say wish I started with a free Langley

Can you make a video about operation musketoon.
Operation musketoon was a group of commando soldiers that was gonna do a sabotage on a power station in Glomfjord in norway
_SOMEONE_ honestly sounds really interesting he should do it!
You can't imagine the size of a battle ship's guns. Years ago the I was stationed on the USS Independence, an aircraft carrier, the Iowa was tied up next to us. During morning muster the Iowa had a platoon of their Marines mustering on top of the number two turret, at least a dozen guys, and there was a lot of room to spare up there!
The salvo still has a role in modern day land combat. Artillery is still there, and with variable speed rounds a single gun can fire something resembling a salvo by firing a maximum speed round in a high arc, reload a lower speed round and send it on a more shallow arc, repeat until the last firing solution is a flat arc and than move from the area. This tactic works great with self propelled, quickly deploying artillery trucks and imitates large artillery positions where in reality there only was a single unit that allready left the area. These barrages occupy significant resources for the enemy forces, as recon will be deployed and return fire will be ordered against the presumed artillery position to eliminate the threat. It's known that this tactic is possible and used, but the threat of a well equiped artillery camp actually being there creates the need to engage regardless. If there was a artillery installation and it would not be dealt with, it can soon level an entire front line. Shooting down incoming supersonic shells is very difficult, so the damage can hardly be negated by ground troops.

Salvos are still used in the field with self-propelled howitzers and with rocket artillery.
Rex guns?
@@jamesmeritt6800 If by guns you mean towed artillery or cannons, they are rarely used anymore in salvo fashion. Except in some technologically outdated armies. For example, Ukraine tried to use such tactic against Russian-backed separatist. And since east Ukraine had Russian military advisors and modern equipment, they almost immediately destroyed all cannons, since modern land radars (like Swedish Giraffe 4) can almost immediately pinpoint the exact location of the cannon by calculating the trajectory of the shell. That's why self-propelled howitzers (like Korean K9 Thunder) are more commonly used today, you must quickly relocate after firing, shoot and scoot.
Don’t know on dirt. I retired USN just under. 21 years and Gunnery Officer was the very first post/commissioning class I too, and I have done so many prefire checks I lost count. For some reason people do no want a ton or two gun barrel thrashing through the ship.
@@jamesmeritt6800 I was on military service in Finnish army in 2001, not with the artillery boys though, but a pioneer, training mine warfare but all actual work was digging and blowing stuff up. Back then towed artillery was still widely used, but a lot of actual artillery training has geared toward howitzers, smart rockets and mortars. 120 mm shell does pretty much the same damage with a lot less weight. And maybe because our own company Patria makes a lot of grenade launcher vehicles that fire 120 mm mortar rounds. Paetria Amos is a cool thing, can fire simultaneosly 12 rounds and computer adjusts trajectory so they all hit the target at the same time. Patria Nemo is Navy version, same thing but with one pipe.
Rex: the training gear on the base of the gun mount is one of the single heaviest things on a ship, and is a major consideration in ship design.
@Simple History
Artillery shells actually have a very small proportion of the weight of a shell actually being explosive, especially battleship caliber shells. The Iowas 16" HC Mk 13 and 14 (HE) shells only had about 70 kilos of explosive, the rest of the weight was the shell casing that had to withstand the energy of getting fired out of the gun without disintegrating.
It’s crazy I used to watch this channel at 60k just 2-3 years ago and now it has 2 million.
The point to the end stating that artillery is now considered obsolete is vastly incorrect.
They were talking about *NAVAL* artillery. Field artillery is still very prominent.

One tactic overlooked is 'Crossing the T'. It was used in the Battle of the Coral Sea. Both adversarial forces were in straight lines, typical. The American forces crossed ahead of the leading a ship in the line of Japanese forces. This allowed all the guns of the American forces to be fired as opposed to only the forward turrets of the Japanese forces.

Since you played alot of Touhou, i guess Salvos are useless right? since you can dodge them easily
@Frequent Man this is some quality content.
@Moisesezequiel Guitierrez more or less
did the Iowa with its 3 guns a turret have its own special kind of salvo?
They would fire in order 1, 2, 3 per turret. 3 rounds per salvo. Firing 9 together was a broadside. They stopped doing that post 1980s refit owing to the shock damage potential on all the newly installed systems...

Today the Salvo rain is still a very common tactic in naval warship because even with the most accurate of the electronic aiming systems some battleship turrets have such high calibers that if fired indipendently teir recoil can change the route of the ship and so also the aiming coordinates of all the other turrets.
