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?
just curious

I'm familiar with it from a Warhammer 40k meme, but I'm unsure if that's where the joke originates from.

What's with the milord? Are you some American that thinks what you just said makes sense? Who refers to their superior in the English army as milord? History isn't warcraft or some superhero Hollywood adaptation for the mentally challenged you might have seen.
The salvo is basically a short word for
*_Fire everything we have on that one target._*
...you forgot the word "simultaneously"... ;)
You don't mean the th for s right?
I want everyone gun we have to fire on that man.
You mean *All out assault*
Speaking of which, your pfp made me question one think
Did the Soviet Union ever had any naval battles in WW2?
"Do you see that man on the side of the hill?"
"Yes Sir"
"His name is William and I do not like him."

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.

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."
Imagine like, firing 10 missiles

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"
You can Salvo as much as you want but u ain't hitting a broadside of a battleship at 5km unless RNGsus says yes.
Toby Adams
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.
Bk Jeong but RNGesus
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. 😉
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.
Invasion of France (1940) Video pls
Bakers yes please
France surrenders, ger enters Paris without firing a shot they sell the rifles advertised as never fired, dropped once what else is there to know?
@@chrisromanczuk1468 lol.
France has officialy won the war, and you forget many sacrifice of French troops (Dunkirk, battle of stonne, Pont Saint-Louis, Bir Hakeim, Dompaire, etc).
France his not a big country like Russia, that's why the French army lost in 1940.
Fortif France lost because Germany had better plan to win this war. Both countries had simmilar armies.
@@bazej2004 nope.
French army was planned for a long defensive war(14-18 like) and half of the conscript was not ready to the fight (they were not trained , etc).
German army was planned for a quick and offensive war.

seriously, kudos for using accurate graphics. I remember some video on the second world war where you had modern carriers and aircraft as your sprites, and comparing that with using HMS Dreadnought for this demonstration, man, you guys have come a long way!
Another fantastic video, the best history channel on TH-cam by far. Incredible content. Keep it up!
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.
I’m glad to see this channel grow it very well deserves it
I heard a phrase in a movie it was a German battleship firing at a ship and someone said “one in front and one behind, the next one is all ours” now I know what it means so thank you lol
Salvo sounds like a guy in the mafia. That's how mafia works
In soviet russia mafia works you comrade )))))))))
Salvo is an Italian name, so it makes sense.
EH OH we gotta wack this guy. Capiche? All yous guys fire your pistols at the same time. Badda bing. BADDA BOOM
lol
Jesus those are some dead memes

@Atomic Roar zigzag salvos the way to go though in my opinion
Fire a salvo with Bismarck, and the seven seas shake in terror!
@Atomic Roar I use with kongo
@@gundamheavyarms4879 Sabaton- Bismarck fan ya? Same here!
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.

Never go broadside...
as a BB player that gets screwed by DDs every damn time I can confirm
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.
Gun crew: “Capt, what guns are be supposed to fire?”
Captain: *”YES”*
I think one of the offensive (Maybe defensive?) salvos for ground artillery was missed.
There's the "Creeping Barrage", where artillery would fire, and troops would move forward using the kicked up debris and smoke as cover to cross large open areas, then the artillery would fire again, but a bit further each time to provide more cover; which was used by Canadian forces in the battle of Vimy Ridge in WW2.
Great vid! 👍
Just broadside em'!
Other Channels : Alright let's talk about our sponsor for a few secs
Simple History : Let me over do it for you fine folks...
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 remember visiting the USS Wisconsin BB-64 it’s an Iowa class battleship it’s at Norfolk Naval Bass in Norfolk, Virginia
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.
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!
Interesting video! Thank you.
I really enjoyed this video, especially now I can say “Salvo” Instead of broadside (because I play games like Assassins Creed 4, where you can sail ships). I have actually visited the USS Iowa battleship, TWICE, because it is now a museum. Also I feel like with the pronunciation, it sounds like it is an Italian word (although it’s not). Keep up the Good videos, Simple History!
"Captain, we just finished reloading all the guns."
"Hm, I don't want to waste time reloading, better fire them all at the same time then."
Er you missed the most important one bro!
The one where they fire them at different arcs so they have multiple shells in the air impacting at the same time!
Loving the animation
Can we have more of military tactics? Maybe tank tactics or some other mechanized units or just good-old infantry tactics. I like this series a lot.
Daniel,
Can you do the Halifax explosion. I’ve been asking for several episodes by now. I ask again please do the Halifax explosion

Laying down smoke is another valuable use for artillery. It also can be useful in offense and defense, especially when withdrawing a unit.

@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.
I’m so grateful that you have proper ship models unlike infographics show’s war videos
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)
You’re unamerican.
Sam O'Neill No I’m not. You are though

I'm early for a simple history vid!
Nice pic
Initially salvos where developed to allow proper aim. Back in the gunpowder days a lot of smoke appears if you shoot. So if some people shoot first the ones that where slower couldnt aim at all. With a salvo the smoke could disappear untill the next one. Same reason for ships untill gunpowder became obsolete. Then salvos where used for the reason u mentioned.
This channel is awesome 😁
I really love Simple History’s animations. They’re perfect!

Nice. Great history
i have been to normady were naval artillery shells hit. Those Impact crater are DEEP like REALLY REALLY DEEP
Captain: FIRE A SALVO
Gunnery Sergeant : How many guns are we firing !?
Captain : YES !!!
This is still used. When establishing a CCOP the first thing ylu.do is establish FPF. In field artillery we refer to these types of attacks as a Fire For Effect the default sheaf of which is a lazy "W". The sheaf can be arranged in diffrent manners for different circumstances
i believe the modern missile equivalent of artillery salvos is the time-on-target attack, where the missiles, possibly of different speeds and from different launchers, are coordinated to launch in such a way that everyone arrives at the target at the same time.
There is not a lot better than a rolling broadside of a ship of the line. Fact.
Last part not entirely true. Salvo of missiles could overwhelm CIWS of enemy ship.
Which is why they're working on LAWS
You ever seen the movie"Battleship"?
5-10 shipwreck missile homing on 1 target is instant abandon ship for any ship afloat.
@@backpackpepelon3867 I mean like, no ship could ever handle that much FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY
@@MyAngelReimu shipwreck missile is russian missile. But yeah, any US missile would do the same.
There was also the creeping barrage in WWI, which...sometimes tended to result in friendly fire if poorly executed. The general idea being for artillery fire to act as a leading curtain to an infantry charge.
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.
I play world of warships gotta say wish I started with a free Langley
I refuse to play that game it just seems like it's pay to win. I'm not gonna struggle against people who buy their ships

TITTLE
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!
Have you done a video on Range yet? And what targets look like at these distances. From movies I think most of us have a bit of a distorted understanding of range and visibility of potential targets.
