salvo forms I skip the salvo button usually anyway
in my type IXB.

the only limitation in anysubmarine french italian american japanese
british turkish or german is the understanding of the captain.

its a weapons system, a platform for the delivery of torpedo attacks.
and well used even a wwI boat with short slow straight runners and
no TDC is still a dangerous fish.
Can you guys explain what a salvo is? I read the tutorials and they keep mention this term...

I tried to look it up on wiki and all I get is:

"The term is commonly used to describe the firing of broadsides by warships, especially battleships. During fleet engagements in the days of sail, from 17th century until the 19th century, ships of the line were maneuvered with the objective of bringing the greatest possible number of cannon to bear on the enemy and to discharge them in a salvo, causing enough damage and confusion as to allow time for the cannon to be swabbed out and reloaded"

is this correct? if so, can you guys explain more clearly? I don't get what it's saying since the definition uses the word salvo itself.


PS: can anyone tell me what the gramophone does? Do you just listen to music on it?

Thanks for the quick help guys!!
