  • Gradual firing

Why did they always fire gradual (barrel by barrel) in world war 2? why not just like we do in NF, shoot all guns at once? is it because of the muzzle flash?
Or would the ship  capsize due to the recoil of the guns?

lets just say the accuracy and condition of the guns of ww2 was not as good as in navyfield

(condition meaning what the guns handle as in how easily they get ruined etc)

Oh, so if they shoot all guns at once they blow up each other?

it is possible but very bad accuracy and its not tested on all ships of ww2 so no idea what would happen with every single type of gun since of the different ways their built

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsNlmiLJGIw its possible atleast for iowa

but based on the fire rate its 1 barrel of the cannons being fired at once not a full broadside

Some ships had very powerful guns. Those guns should be so powerful that if a ship did a full broadside the kickback from them might have caused the ship to capsize.

Weird, because the barrel recoils catches up in the gun itself... it requires like 10-20 man PER BARREL, like 60 per gun, X amount of guns on board O.O

i know in WW1 germans used gradual as a ranging tool, while the royal navy just did full broadsides all the time

It was a rumour but it was disproved when Rodney (Nellys sister ship) fired several full salvos at Bismarck without any effect to her.


These beauty's were amazing :).

Lies, check your source, or just don't spread BS if u don't know. Rodney ignored and did full broadside at bismarck, yes, but after that, cracks in her hull where found. Structural damage.
