Oh my, I am really going to love this series! Outstanding quality content as always. Thanks for putting in the hard work to keep the masses entertained.
Murphy's law of combat - "Try to look unimportant, the enemy might be low on ammunition." Miss it dearly but sincerely hope one day we can resolve our conflicts via diplomacy and not by shedding the blood of our youth. War does nothing but corrode every facet of life it touches.
We can't fight human nature my friend, who's to say that the people who we need to be deplomatic to are willing to be that way? Tell that to the dictators before us, you think people didn't plead to them then? What I believe is simply this, some people just need killing. And the cycle continues.
Mark Twain wrote a poem called The War Prayer. It starts out as a prayer of victory over an enemy and goes on to show how the deaths affect the families of the enemy. Quite humbling.
PLEASE make this a series! More tactics use and history needed! So many field manuals with so much info you could cover, like troop movement Technics, ambush technics, survival skills would be a big hit.
On the 1st July 1916 at the Somme the 36th Ulster Division consisting of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, Royal Irish Rifles and the Royal Irish Fusiliers were tasked to take the Schwaben Redoubt which was the most fortified German position. Just 15 minutes before the 7 day barrage ended they moved 30yrds away from the German lines. As soon as the barrage lifted they disobeyed orders a second time and ran to the German trenches and was in the trench before the Germans got out of the dugouts. They were that fast they got shelled by their own artillery only to over take it. They bust through 2 and a half miles of enemy lines being the only British division to take all objectives that day. The British commanders had troops on reserves but never sent them to help the 36th but sent them to divisions which wasn't at the first enemy line, if they had sent the reserved forces to the 36th they could have encircled left or right to help the divisions beside them. Being fired at by 3 sides, taking heavy casualties and low on ammunition the 36th Ulster Division had to fall back in the early hours of the 2nd. A good example of using artillery and why sometimes orders has to be broken. The Somme could've been an success if only they reinforced the 36th Ulster Division. They make me feel proud to be British and Northern Irish especially when multiple family members was in the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers during WW1 and 1 of them sadly passing sometime after the Somme due to infections after being wounded by a grenade.
My grandfathers ship had a running night gun battle with multiple suicide boats off Okinawa during the war. The low profile made radar detection difficult but their operators were top notch and used said radar to train thr 5" guns on target. Secondary explosions were seen but its figured more were sunk since the light construction of the boats allowed some shells to pass through merely punching holes but still getting results.

Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact (MRSI): A salvo technique capable of being performed by a single gun by firing first at a high angle, then at a low angle that makes the two trajectories resolve to the same target and timing the second shot to have the same Time on Target. Modern field guns can use even more shots with varying loads, making for devastating salvos when used in combination with other guns in the battery
Turrets were developed to protect the gun crews, not allow ships to fire on multiple targets in different directions. Yes, there were battleship on battleship engagements, however there was also battleship engagements of smaller ship classes where the battleship guns could outrange those smaller ships.
It’s kinda funny how you use a T-34 as a example in the animation for held down tactics even though T-34 don’t even have enough gun depression to actually do that since they only had -3 degrees
Hello Simple History! Would you concider making a Video of the Tyrolean Rebellion of 1809? I would love to see an episode about this especialy because i am Tyrolean myself. Yours Moseschmidt
Thats why currently, we have developed more tactics to help with terrain. Crest drills and turret down positions can hide an armored vehicle quiet well. Most times recce will dismount and bound up the hill slowly till they can get eyes on. Then, they can coordinate with the driver and gunner to be more accurate on position. Or they'll call up another call sign to pull hasty attacks and rush the enemy. All depends on situation.
The shell from the Iowa class battleships weighed about 2000 pounds…. That doesn't mean the shell had 2000 pounds of explosive in it. HE or bombardment shells weighed 1900lbs and had a bursting charge of about 41 lbs depending on which version they were using.
Could you please do a video on Reginald Jones, the man who tricked Germany into repainting their entire U-boat fleet and made the German bombers drop their bombs on empty fields. Thank you
We still use a form of creeping barrage. We use phase lines and radios to control fires and infantry movement across the battle space in order to suppress/destroy the enemy while mitigating loss of friendly forces due to our own artillery and mortar rounds using the safe distance and danger close parameters distributed during mussion planning from supporting fire support elements. You use those instead of legacy distributions in doctrine manuals as charges and projectiles most likeky have changed the radius requirements to mitigate friendly casualties.
6:34 salvos are still used for missiles, you would salvo multiple missiles out to overwhlem the enemy and ensure atleast 1 missile would make it though
Hull-down positions were never intended to be permanent. We trained on having multiple positions, and to fire from one before backing out and moving to one of the alternates. If the enemy was able to close the range, we were to fall back to a new line. The only time my tank ever got shot in the @$$ (as seen in the video) was when our captain wanted to get some shuteye and deliberately gave a "die in place" order during training exercises at the National Training Center... we were not allowed to withdraw as OPFOR overran our positions, so we got wiped out, so the captain got his forty winks - before being called in front of the Lieutenant Colonel.
12:50 the reason vimmy ridge was different was that a canadian general thought to introduce rifling into the artillary giving it the needed precision to actually cover the gap to the enemy lines..... way to totally miss why the early examples didnt work.....
salvos on old wood ships where fired in pairs with everyother gun firing so when the guns recoiled and pulled the ropes attached to them to stop them the ropes wouldnt damage the walls of the ships
The iowa battleship is currently in San Diego and I completely recommend to go see it as it is now a museum and it is really cool, you can also fond submarines and an aircraft carrier plus many modern battleships all tho you can't visit the modern ones lol
Due to a lot of Japan's experienced pilots being killed throughout the war and new Allied aircraft entering service that could outperform Japanese Zeroes, the idea of kamikaze aircraft was a way to increase the odds of the pilot being able to deal damage before they inevitably got killed. After all, if they're going to get shot down anyways, it's a lot cheaper and quicker to just teach the new pilots to point at the biggest ship they can find and punch the throttle...

This video had been recommended to me for at least a month and I finally decided to watch it. Worth it
That gun depression is unreal for that T-34-85

Hello Simple History!
Would you concider making a Video of the Tyrolean Rebellion of 1809?
I would love to see an episode about this especialy because i am Tyrolean myself.
Yours Moseschmidt
I was only familiar with the creeping barrage. This is an very informative video. I am thankful for its existence.
It Would be funny if a naval ship initiated a salvo and the ship rolled over from recoil.
In Mother Russia Salvo sink our boat!
I think there was a round raft with cannons on it, when it fired, it spun in a circle
There was a ship that was big and loaded with stuff, it got a little bit out of port before it blew over and capsized due to being top heavy
Lol that's actually pretty funny man
actually this is realy dumb, you can easy calculate the force and momentum generated by the backflash :D Russians like testing, eh?
I think the Missouri could, the salvo is so intense it leaned the ship up to 30 degrees
Thats why currently, we have developed more tactics to help with terrain. Crest drills and turret down positions can hide an armored vehicle quiet well. Most times recce will dismount and bound up the hill slowly till they can get eyes on. Then, they can coordinate with the driver and gunner to be more accurate on position. Or they'll call up another call sign to pull hasty attacks and rush the enemy. All depends on situation.
Should make a video about different types of battle ships during centuries.

The sea kamikazes remind me of the IRGC speedboats nowadays. With the exception that those are useless.
