** In what is a massive, yet harrowing SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfAwesome for the series, the Survey Corps' suicide charge led by Erwin Smith against the Beast Titan at the battle of Shiganshina is a brilliant example of this. Erwin, being TheLeader he is, leads his troops in a full-speed cavalry charge into near-certain death, all the while having them constantly fire flares into the air and himself delivering an incredible RousingSpeech at the top of his lungs.

Their opponents were 6 battleships, 4 heavy and 4 light cruisers, 28 destroyers and 39 PT boats. Only one Japanese ship, destroyer ''Shigure'' survived, but they distracted the US long enough for the only thing guarding the landing craft and transports from Kurita's force were the escort carriers, destroyers and destroyer-escorts mentioned above. The Japanese flagship, battleship ''Yamashiro'' in particular stands out, being struck by 2-3 torpedoes before getting engaged by every ship larger than a destroyer for 20 minutes, absorbing a few hundred shell hits from 5" all the way to 16" before being sunk after being struck by 2 more torpedoes. The American battleships that had radar (West ''Virginia'', ''California'' and ''Tennessee'') essentially obliterated the enemy force while the Japanese ships with inferior fire control could not return fire. The remaining US battleships also had trouble due to worse gunnery radar. ''Maryland'' succeeded in ranging the splashes from ''West Virginia'', ''California'' and ''Tennessee'' and fired 48 16-inch shells (WV fired 93 in total, hitting Yamashiro with the first salvo, while CA and TN fired 63 and 69 14-inch shells). Pennsylvania was unable to find a target and her guns remained silent. ''Mississippi'' only fired once during the battle line action, a full salvo of 12 14-inch shells at the very end of the battle. This was also the last salvo ever fired by a battleship against another.

It failed spectacularly, with the 10-ship Japanese force losing the battleship, a light cruiser, four out of eight destroyers, and 4,137 personnel. Another destroyer, was heavily damaged (Suzutsuki, which had to go in reverse to Sasebo Harbor after losing her bow) while on the way. In turn, the Japanese forces, relying on kamikaze attacks, cost the Americans 97 killed, 10 aircraft and severely damaging a carrier, battleship and destroyer, at the cost of 100 Japanese aircraft.

*** Several pre-1916 WorldWarOne campaigns and battles, due to the extremely steep 'learning curve' in modern artillery techniques.

Attacking riflemen were repeatedly mulched by enemy artillery fire, with Entente artillery failing to hit the enemy's artillery and barely hitting the enemy trenches.
