They could shoot fast because they had high morale (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5844918&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310864#49738586) |
Date: March 12th, 2026 9:27 PM Author: maniacal hunting ground Munitions: The "Shimose" Secret• High Explosive: The IJN utilized Shimose powder (a form of lyddite), a high-explosive filling for their shells.• Effect: While the British knew about lyddite, the specific Japanese formulation was incredibly sensitive and violent. Upon impact, it didn't just penetrate armor; it detonated, spraying shrapnel and fire into wooden decks and internal compartments.• Tactical Surprise: Russian ships were not designed to withstand high-explosive fire; they expected armor-piercing shells. The Shimose powder caused catastrophic fires that the Russians were ill-equipped to fight, leading to a "burning fleet" scenario.

Date: March 12th, 2026 9:29 PM Author: maniacal hunting ground Morale: Morale was fanatical. The fleet was fighting for national survival. The concept of Gunkan-bujutsu (naval martial arts) was prevalent.
Intelligence: The Japanese knew the Russian route, the speed of their ships, and their fuel status. They knew the Russians would arrive exhausted. |
