Fascinating! Hope you do one on De Ruyter's famous Raid on the Medway in 1667, a daring Dutch attack on England's main naval base that really turned the tables.

Hey love these videos, so informative, interesting to learn more about other history you wouldn't otherwise hear about. There was an admiral in my family that fought the Dutch (Admiral Duncan of Camperdown) I'd like to learn more about him and his exploits, if possible.

@joslauwers7960 10 месяцев назад

Camperdown is during the Napoleonic period 11 october 1797. English won from the then Batavian Republic whiich was later the Kingdom of Holland and later incorporated into France until 1813

@HenrichRGreve 10 месяцев назад

Supposedly the English landed sailors on Nordnes (where I grew up) to storm the cannot positions there but were driven back. The Nordness cannon battery was still made ineffective for a while because of damage from the ship cannons. Shortly after this battle a new cannon position was built in the same place with greater elevation and bastion structure. This is the current Frederiksberg fort in Bergen, less impressive than Bergenhus Fortress on the opposite side but still practical for military purpose. It never saw battle.

@charlesvanderhoog7056 10 месяцев назад

Before 1688, the Glorious Revolution where the English obtained Dutch secrets, Dutch cannon wete better, shooting further and more precise. After 1688, the English learned about cannon, shipbuilding and banking which enabled them to conquer the world.

I think your animation is upside down if the English ships “ shifted guns to port”. Port is to the left. I think you mean starboard. And it would have been the Dutch who would have aimed their guns to port.

@TrompetterJanKlaassen 10 месяцев назад

@Dayvit78 10 месяцев назад

They mostly used roundshot which is basically an iron ball. It breaks wood, sometimes bounces off and sometimes flies though, but for the most part it's all above the water line. You can't fire a roundshot below the water line where it would actually contribute to sinking the ship.

This is why I loved TW Empire so much because the naval battles were SO EPIC!! And the sheer size of the campaign map made it feel more realistic and gave you more options and opportunities to expand…. Really hoping for another empire game in the future even tho CA is just gonna keep dropping literal 💩 like pharaoh, and Troy. Three kingdoms also wasn’t even a historical, and the warhammer series just needs to be laid to rest at this point and need to focus on their more core-veteran players and their concerns with the series

6:23 the idea of firing on another nations ships due to the impoliteness of their sailors is mind boggling; it really shows how high the stakes are nowadays and the tech we have.
