Kod velikih brodova centralizovani sistem upravljanja vatrom je vrsio opaljenje kada je brod bio u "nuli" tj. horizontali. Idealni slucaj za gadjanje je bio kada brod ide direktno ka talasima ili potpuno paralelno talasima, jer je tada sistem imao samo jednu varijablu (valjanje levo-desno ili napred nazad).
Neki brodovi su imali i stabilizovane montaze topova.
... uz dodatno objašnjenje u komentarima:Citat:... This footage are filmed on-board of the Germany heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen
0:04 The bow of Prinz Eugen, viewed from the bridge section showing 20.3 cm SK C/34 naval gun
0:27 Bismarck in the distance viewed from Prinz Eugen
0:39 Again Bismarck from other angle
0:41 The zooming in image of the Bismarck
0:42 The superfiring 20.3 cm SK C/34 naval guns angled slightly starboard to avoid the damage from waters entering the gun barrel or maybe just for show because they never showed the angled gun anymore
0:50 Again footage of Prinz Eugen's bow steaming toward waves, during this day the wave are really high, there's even a report from board of HMS Prince of Wales that during the engagement her turret rangefinder cannot be used because of sprays from the high waves
1:13 Demonstration of the gun turret elevation of the 20.3 cm SK C/34 naval gun
1:21 Finally the footage of the battle of Denmark strait. Bismarck opened fire to HMS Hood the visible water splashes are supposedly shells from Prince of Wales. (note: at this footage Eugen take the led of the fleet formation because of the newly installed Bismarck's radar system malfunctioning as she opened fire at HMS Norfolk before she met HMS Hood and Prince of Wales).
2:18 visible smoke on left at the distance is Prince of Wales the smokes are from the exploded shells scored by Prinz Eugen one hit the UP rocket projector and the other shell exploded near her mast causing this visible smoke.
The smoke on the right are HMS Hood burning from magazine explosion while HMS Prince of Wales make a turn to avoid the burning wreck of her
I make this from the battle report from both German side and the RN from the Wikipedia and HMS Hood(dot)com, if there's any mistake please elaborate so we could understand the footage more clearly...
