I think its pretty simple. With a salvo, if the enemy changes course, you'll miss more. With single shots, you can literally follow and adjust for every change in thier heading. So people might think they are getting lucky when infact they're actually just aiming better.

the advantage of salvo is if the enemy has a bad position u can send all u got at the right moment, if u single shot he might move to take less damage. Salvo has an advantage for punishment soo it has to be less accurate to compensate (considering single shot is more accurate this would explain the balance)

The issue though with sequential fire, at least on battleships, is that the guns are inaccurate as all hell as is, so by you not salvo firing, you reduce the risk of any successful damage for the next 30 to 40 seconds. Sequential fire I think is best on destroyers as well as cruisers

The reason I like sequential fire is you can correct if you don't aim well. And if you kill something with the first salvo or second salvo you can use the remaining salvos on some other target. More close range concerns but that's why I tend to fire in series, rather than broadside or volley..

A few comments before watching the rest of the vid. 1) WG did not model visually the recoil action of a full salvo, I doubt they actually included it in the rng for a salvo. IRL a battleship that empties all guns at the same time over the side heels over to the other side in recoil, then rocks for a few minutes until the momentum disburses. 2) WG did not add the mechanics in game for a true sequential fire, which is barrel by barrel in each turret. 3) I personally get the same accuracy either way, so it makes no difference to me.

Sequential fire, isnt about getting multiple roll of the dice, its about leading a ship. If a ship is maneuvering or juking a single full salvo may miss entirely, sequential firing allows you to make adjustments which would ensure a higher chance of getting as close as possible to the target ship.

I love the volley fire way, I've done that 90 percent of the time since I started playing. Another advantage is giving yourself a chance to then shoot at a cruiser or DD that might pop up after your first volley at another ship, it won't leave you completely defenseless because a lot of players wait to see those shells from your BB before they feel safe to shoot at you knowing u are aiming somewhere else and lots of times you can punish them when they appear out of concealment because you have shells still ready to go. No point in putting all your eggs in one basket majority of the time.

I think when calculating the roll of the dice for dispersion, it is done per mouse click. So a Salvo or sequential firing of the guns if you hold the mouse button is still the same roll of the dice. So I think you have to pause, then click again to reroll.

best way to compare would simply be to calculate the "theoretical" best value, as do the ship compare sites. As you cant really cal. hit % or the gimmicky side effects like more pen etc. For my Conde as example with "normal" fire that is 338k AP dpm (60/13,2*6200*12) --- Formula: 60sek / reload * ap dmg * #guns For the Burst Fire this would be 197k AP dpm (60/45,32*6200*12*2) --- Formula 60 sek / burst reload (44sek + 1.,32 burst intrvall) *ap dmg * #guns * burst count With the same math Annapolis comes to : 654k AP normal (60/5,5*5000*12) vs 257k AP in burst (60/42*5000*12*3) Not 100% sure if the math is correct, but sould be close. The main advantage of the burst is .. well its burst. You can do massive dmg in a very short time.

Sequential fire is what should be used when facing nimble ships, as the first salvo will force the target to rudder left, right or stay - your second salvo can hit the new location. In some cases you could also hold a salvo, and let the target think you’re reloading and they may turn to broadside.

The assumption that more dicerolls = more accurate is weird in TWO distinct ways. First: If you have more dicerolls you have more chances to low roll as well. Second: Why are we even assuming that firing sequentially has fewer dice rolls? Each gun still fires individually. I think this is just a case of placebo effect for players who changed their firing method. The main reason to sequentially fire is if you're in a ship with a fast reload and you're using the old shells to tracks with the new ones. The man reason to volley fire is to deal as much damage as quickly as possible. Besides that it's all just preference.

Good subject for a video SLM! I think there are a couple of other variables that you may have not taken into account in your testing. I watched another YTuber (QualityPotato) who made a video about this exact subject. In his video, he proposed a theory that says there is a known "Lock on Bug" in this game that can be reset (to the non bugged state) when you Volley fire. If you toggle "Lock On" off and then back on just before firing the first turret, the errors are reduced. Additionally, in order to reduce accidentally shifting your aimpoint when you double click the mouse, he re-mapped "Lock On" to Spacebar on his keyboard. Then there is another "bug" in the game that causes many shots to fall short. The "shots falling short of where they are aimed" bug. I know I have seen both PQ and Flamu point this out several times. Then there is the Aiming and firing at a target while in a sharp turn bug. The targeting computer is completely frazzled when you are moving fast and then turn while trying to shoot your guns. I think the Devs have even mentioned this in one of their DevBlogs? Maybe some of these bugs have been fixed but somehow i doubt it! Maybe doing another test while your ownship is moving would be a better test of the mechanics. So that is another variable that Volley firing would be superior over Salvo.

There is noticeable benefit in sequential firing if you have low reload time because you can easily compensate for the bad shots in no time, easy-play. Also it takes skill that comes from experience, along with familiarity to shell travel time, to nail every salvo you release, for beginner its like a high-risk high-reward shot, especially for long range exchanges.

One thing about this game (and all other Wargaming products) is regardless how well you aim the RNG decides where your rounds go, if they are even going to hit the target, where they will make contact with the target, how much damage your going to do. Basically the RNG will always decide how well your going to do and limit you to keep you playing. Heck the server even takes into account the missions you have loaded and restrict you on achieving them as well. I can't tell you how many times I have had a mission to get potential damage and the entire round NOT ONE bot has fired in my direction. (I quit playing Toxic Randoms 6 years ago.)

With me, it's more about improving consistancy with the various aiming system bugs, whether the coding ones or just the ones that occur due to the realities of attempting to play a "realtime" game with people all over the internet. Without getting too much into the weeds, the first shots after lock on appears to have a higher chance to fail than later shots in practice in an actual game where you are actively switching between dodging and juking targets that are trying to hide behind cover and such while you yourself are doing much the same. In short, the extra time and relative lack of manuvering gives the client and server a chance to synchronize and correct for latency. And, if one pull ends up being yeeted by a bug, at least you didn't lose the entire salvo, which reduces the likelihood of being caught with your pants down broadside to someone with

the problem here is... dice have no memory. its as possible to roll miss for every shot for the rest of your life as it is to never miss again for the rest of your life, and all possibilities in between. thats the problem with true random. another pattern i have noticed is, every time i boot up the client, i never know if im going to get good dispersion or not, which tells me when the client starts it probably has a huge list of randomly generated numbers it picks a random spot. thats because when i was a teen 40 years ago, computers had an rng chip which contained such a list so i assume thats how random numbers may still work. if you boot the client, it might pick where to start in that list of rng based on time and date for example, and if there is a sequence of low numbers in that list, your dispersion (luck?) will be appalling. it can also work the other way: a sequence of rng that means you have a whole battle where you cant seem to miss the citadel and things explode with a single salvo. it might be random numbers are generated differently these days, but i have also seen vids where another streamer have wildly different experiences with the same ship, in two different sessions.

All the mathematical chance aside; I think what the actual difference is here has more to do with your mentality than it does anything to do with the guns at all. Salvo Fire is what we in the biz call "Accuracy by Volume;" think of it like using a shotgun for sniping, sure it could work, but it probably won't though. Sequential fire allows you to correct your aim if you're too far in any direction; It also gives you the chance to make sure you're aiming from the right turrets so your shot is more likely to hit just by the nature of us firing up some neurons instead of just watching big gun go boom xD

The issue I’ve seen described before was when switching targets or acquiring a new lock. The thought was that waiting a bit longer gave the lock on more time to have effect. Thus ripple firing means that the later turrets get benefit from a slight delay. I’m not completely sold on this. What I do personally notice is that the physical act of double clicking the mouse tends to move the mouse slightly… for than just holding down the button. This throws off my aim more.

there was a bug with the lockon mechanic + aiming distance where xou could basically get railguns. in short: if you aimed at for example 1km in front of your ship and then instantly aimed at something at 20km away and fire, the game still thought your target was only 1km away, so your shells hit nearly instant. a fix was that they thinkered with the target aquisition, so if you did the same thing after their fix, you`d shoot at the point 1km in front of your ship dunno if they improved on that thing.

You DO get more consistent hits with with sequential firing. But NOT because of the mechanics. The thing is, if you sequential fire, you get a wider spread over TIME (and probably your human accuracy). Spreading it out makes it more consistent (NOT ACCURATE!), i.e. you have a higher chance to hit ANY shot, but a lower chance to hit MANY shots. Personally, I shoot salvoes with good AP angles. Or sequential when the enemy is a one-shot or with HE. (HE means higher spread over superstructure and better fire coverage)

Pretty sure salvo and volley are just different words for the same thing... Both definitions from the Cambridge Dictionary. volley noun UK /ˈvɒl.i/ US /ˈvɑː.li/ volley noun (BULLETS) a large number of bullets (seeming to be) fired at the same time: Even as the funeral took place, guerrillas hidden nearby fired/let off a fresh volley of machine-gun fire. salvo noun [ C ] UK /ˈsæl.vəʊ/ US /ˈsæl.voʊ/ plural salvos or salvoes the action of firing several guns at the same time, either in a war or in a ceremony: a salvo of guns/rockets Edit: I don't know if there's any difference between ripple firing or salvo firing in the main, but if you're in smoke, you want to salvo fire, firing sequentially gives your opponent more to aim at in a blind shot, with shots coming one after the other, than with just one blob of shells appearing from the cloud.

for me it depends on the ship, some ships are consistently more accurate firing all guns as a salvo, other ships are consistently more accurate firing all guns sequentially (i.e. ripple-fire without any correction), Montana for example I find more accurate firing all guns sequentially, as I find at least one turret will end up with a really tight shell grouping that I seldom see firing a salvo, on the other hand some ships respond better to salvo firing, i put this down to inherently accurate 3 turret 9 gun or 4 turret 12 gun tend to work better sequentially firing ALL guns, while less accurate ones with more guns to make up for the lack of accuracy are best fired as salvo, the same goes for most 2 gun turrets, but even within the 2 gun turret camp Georgia sits in the salvo firing camp, while Ohio sits in the sequentially firing ALL guns camp - I put this down to inherently inaccurate guns that use volume of shells to hit things are best calculated as a sing shot salvo firing, and sequentially firing is just going to yield inherently inaccurate shots of few shells, on the other hand inherently inaccurate that are relatively consistent, you are best off sequentially firing ALL guns, as each turrets solution gets its own RNG dispersion roll, so you can often yield 1 turret (using Montana as example) getting a really tight grouping within the sequentially ripple firing of all 4 turret vs just a salvo, something else I consider is that sequentially ripple firing of all guns gives delay between the first and last shell hitting as distinct per turret firing events within a short space of time which allows the distinct groups of shells to reduce HP before the next group hits so you can effectively dev strike a full health ship more consistently vs a single salvo - this is based on observation and thousands of games across lots of modes.

if you roll the dice one time per volley and 4 times when you do salvo ... you get after indefinite shots the same expected hits... the difference is that when you do less than indefinite shots you will be more constant around the expected value ... its unlikely with 4 dices to get to get 4 good or 4 bad shots ... but its likely to get in one dice a bad or good shot ... you come earlier to the expected value with salvo fire bc you roll the dice 4 times more = more constant

Nope, mathematically it makes no difference. The dice isn't rolled 1 time per volley, every turret has its own dice, so it makes no difference whether you fire sequentially or all at once. In fact, I suspect every gunbarrel has its own dice, for reasons I'll explain later. Volley fire isnt a separate type of shot, it just triggers all turrets to shoot at the same time. If you double click slowly, you'll see that your first turret fires a little bit before all the others. As a programmer, it also makes absolutely zero sense to code a different way of calculating dispersion between the fire modes, it's just more work and leads to inconsistencies. The easiest and best way to do it is to actually have a dispersion function that generates a target coordinate inside the dispersion ellipse for every individual shell when it is fired. That way you have a function that works for any type of gun, whether it is single or multi barrel, you simply execute it multiple times in multi barrel turrets. My experience in the game suggests that this is happening, as even on multi barrel turrets there will be accurate shells and inaccurate ones, which only makes sense if dispersion is calculated individually.

There’s two cases you can make for sequential fire vs salvo fire. One is nonsense. The other has credibility. If the idea is that each individual turret essentially does a dice roll to determine its accuracy, then it really doesn’t matter if you fire a full salvo or if you fire by turret by turret. The game still performs a dice roll for each turret, and it doesn’t really matter whether the dice are rolled simultaneously or one after another. But the other argument for sequential firing is good. You fire one turret, you miss because the enemy is maneuvering, then you adjust your aim, fire another turret, and hit.

Does something like synergy ("the interaction or cooperation of two or more substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects.") apply here (in reality and game)? Just an assumption. I imagine that there are 2 shells flying to the target and randomly landing almost into the same point. Each of them separately would not have the ability to break through and, for example, hit the citadel but together their cumulative effect could make that happen. And so if it makes any sense, in such a case more shells are flying at the same time more chances of such synergy happening.

The real answer is fire all guns at once so your detection range bloom doesn't extend unnecessarily. If you know anything about stochastics it should be clear that there is no point to roll the dice more often and hoping for better results. It is weighted to a certain outcome and rolling it more doesn't improve that.

I always liked sequential firing the Izumo guns, but that was mostly due to just enjoying the sound and animation. It wouldn't make sense to calculate all turrets fired at once with one calculation and then do it differently for single turrets being fired. I'm surprised they do it by turret and not by individual barrel.

Salvo is best if you want a lot of damage fast, or if the enemy has not seen you yet, otherswise single shot will usually be better for most situations

i would say its better sequential for long distances but short ones, using sequential may get u out of an opportunity (enemy manouvering), i would say, it depends

I think that there is more to it, when talking about hitting the target that WG has ever revel. Its hard to explain in words, but f.ex. if someone is shooting from over 20km target has plenty of time to monever. Like you can stop, you can stop and turn in or out, just turn etc. Still you get hits in this game. So i think there is also some sort of algortmn that makes the decicion hiting or missing at time of firing guns. Then the actual hitting is done with dispersion, anfgeling curves and so on. I tried to ask this question from support and they admitted that its the secrect of the game and they wont reveal it. But defineatly there is something what is not documented.

How about camera views, some ships seem to zoom view from front turrets and others from the rear and does seem to make a difference where your shells land

Good morning, Sea Lord, and thank you for this video series. The thing about sequential fire is if you just click and hold to fire off all your turrets individually, it does you no good. The idea behind getting better accuracy with special fire is a single click for a single turret so click once to fire one turret, click again to fire your next turn and so on and so on. I am not saying this would actually make a difference in overall accuracy, but if you want to be truly accurate with this myth, it is an individual click for an individual turret.

Well mechanically it doesn’t matter, every time a turret fires it calculates it’s own dispersion ellipse

Hi Sealord! hope you are having a great day, so I was wondering, I wanted to grind a germen battleship line because like almost everyone, I love brawling with my Pommern, but I am not sure if I should grind the battleships, or the battlecruisers. so could you make a video on which is better? Thank you for your time!

What about the reversing/slow forward moving aiming bug? For some reason my shells are either bracketing the ship or falling either short or behind them no matter how I aim. Edit: the enemy ship is angled in these scenarios.

I always knew it wasn't true as I've played republique before... where 1 turret has perfect dispersion and the other hits a different map. It's definitely calculated per turret

Maybe can try the same test but with ship that has worse dispersion?

one thing i know, if you preload the other type of shell before firing a volley, for some reason the salvo "seems" to be more accurate 😅

Not really relevant to this discussion, but I've heard several KZitemrs comment on an "aiming bug" and was wondering how widespread this was? Was in an Asymmetric Battle yesterday in Rooke and fired a nine-shot salvo at a full broadside BB at 9 Km range aiming at the waterline - one shot fell far short and off to the right and the other eight(!) all fell well beyond the target (in a nice group, no less...). The more I play the more I seem to see this odd behaviour and it isn't confined to particular ships or ship classes....annoying.

Hey @SeaLordMountbatten >>> here's a question that has come up from time to time: Moving @ 1/2 or less speed improves your dispersion vs. moving at faster speeds. Is there some truth to this?

Here's a good myth to test aiming just a hair below the water line Will prevent x # of over pens like say for instance Roma some say that that tactic works I just know the last few days of playing 8f I got a dollar for every over pen I can probably buy a hundred Santa mega gift containers😂

If you aim a little bit higher, you will get 70+ hits with the same Montana guns instead of 50-55.

Of course, if you do enough repetitions, the damage averages out…. If you want to do this with proper math, you would use both firing methods and plot, a standard deviation of each salvo vs ripple fire. If you do overall damage/hits it will always average out. Anyway, the firing method is situational and there are reasons to use either.
