Mon: "im scard three"

My father-in-law, a WWII naval vet, told me... “That crap in movies where men sit around after a sea battle and drink and brag isn’t true. They actually lay in their bunks and cry for mommy.”

On the way!!

Clear!!

@@jmflores9643 tank destroyed

Greetings from senior corporal

LeBuffs?

Willy Pete/ White phosphorous, needs a second, more terrifying nickname, cause that stuff is nasty

@@pug-tape7459 well phuck?

@@oneandonlyTan 😂😂😂

@@oneandonlyTan seems pretty accurate

Check!

Absolutely, I also came for the tanks, but stayed for the characters. tbh most of these scenes weren't even the ones I liked most.

Come for the tanks...stay for the comments from people who cannot spell.

@@RobertSmith-wh5jb “can not” is two words.

@@trumplost3631 When beginning a sentence with quotation marks, you are supposed to include a comma before the end quotation mark. Here's an example. "Can not," 🤴

hilarious

The music truly does give the Tiger an ethereal fright

Nah

No offence but it’s war the film is about story’s told from tank veterans the way we portray the Germans today which most of them were just following orders but that’s how Germans back then would’ve portrayed the US also Germany was more brutal

I met a WW2 German tank driver that immigrated to Canada after the war. His stories about the Russian front were unsettling. He was called back from the Russian Front after D-day and ended up surrendering to Americans. My father was a US WW2 artillery officer in the European Theatre. My father was also on occupation duty in Germany after the fighting. My take away is that hatred is a defense mechanism we bring forward to do what must be done to defend our buddies in battle. For the most part after the smoke clears it goes away and most soldiers choose to talk about anything but battle experiences other than with those who have been there. I wish that I could have introduced my father to the Canadian/German tank driver. They would have gotten on well, both gone now of course. I’m 68.

It was war. I'm sure there were people on both sides who did what you call their duty. And then there were the lunatics and weirdos etc. ®️🐝

@@miuzuri-7176 Don't forget the Americans had concentration camps as well.

It’s an American movie they do that a lot

Merchant Marine was an absolute necessity to the war. By the end, it was mostly being crewed by young boys and old men, unable to go into military. They did the job.

I can't tell if its "one the way" or "one away" either way its epic

@@chriss2112 it would be "clear" or "up" when the loader loads the specified round then "on the way" when the gunner is about to fire

SUS

@@drinclock8095 He tried so hard to avoid it

I knew exactly what scene you was on about when I ready this 🤣

@@Arsenelli11 lol

Nice 🤣 that made me bust out laughing with the new perspective

I burst out laughing at this 🤣 This comment deserves more attention

Cool name, too.

Must be a reckless Tiger commander Seeing his country losing he just made his crew go on a suicidal charge thinking he might won or die trying

German tank used in movie, it was Tiger 131 from The Bovington Tank Museum. Only one Tiger I with good condition in the world. Maybe somewhere someone bulid replica of Tiger I, but find another original from ww II is most impossible. That's why you won't see the real Tiger thing in low-budget movies. The battle episode between the Tiger and 3 Shermans is absurd. Especially when german tank it drives out of hiding position into the open field. Stupid idea and an invitation to die. Mostly crew of Tiger was hide and try atack from far distance. In real fight all Shermans will be destroyed very quick, but ofcourse this is movie and was great to see tactical fight by Shermans vs one Tiger 😉

Its a movie dude not a true life documentary. Just gtfo lol

Best job I ever had.

Yeah

Best job I ever had.

Damn right

Till you get a round tgrown into your tank

Really? The special effects look amazing and the audio is very nice and visceral, but everything else seems cringingly bad.

Of course. The usual boring heroes...even if it's dirty heroes.

@@llamallama1509 it seems like they are shooting with laser gun... That's so unrealistic

Steve Aldini Tracers

Yeah there were tracers

Yeah and Peterson had a couple good hits on the Tiger early on. I'm not sure at what range that shot was at but I'm fairly certain the round would penetrate that front plate on the Tiger.

@@TheBarber5550 I'm no military expert and I do not claim to'v ever been inside a tank, but I'm fairly sure it's less than a kilometer. And, at least on paper, the 76 SHOULD be able to pen the Tiger's front plate from that distance Edit. The scene is still pretty damn cool

@@notdoomguy1616 yeah, just based on reports I've read on the 76mm penetrating the front armor on the Tiger is the root of my knowledge.

The tank commander would have still gone for the first tank in the column because it was the most dangerous and that is what they were taught and in the last part of that scene the tank wasn’t firing. In a real battle they would have all been destroyed

@@TheBarber5550 76mm would've penetrated no problem when they were halted at the tree line, obviously for the plot of the movie they had to make it dramatic and drive into the tiger, but in a real situation, they would've sat there and pummeled the tiger. While the 75mm would've sat and watched. Also, the tiger never would've moved either. They had no turret stabilization as the Shermans did.

I think you mean Willy Pete

@@TheBarber5550 cant ever have enough willy pete

@@TheBarber5550 Indeed, the accent threw me off

Yeah, you can still buy .50BMG rounds filled with the stuff. Tungsten-steel penetrator cuts through vehicle armor, and WP warhead starts a BBQ of whatever is inside. I can confirm that it does indeed spall off into little balls like that. Army field manual says to dig them out with your knife before they burn too deep. Smothering and water don't work.

Der beschissenste Kriegsfilm aller Zeiten!!! Der Tiger schiesst immer erst den ersten Sherman ab !

@@dirklehrke6710 Google translate: Worst war movie ever!!! The tiger always shoots the first Sherman first!

@@dirklehrke6710 everyone knows that the tiger shoots the lead tank but there's no movie if they kill the main character that fast.

Really stupid Hollywood version of tank warfare

Oh Hollywood, do you really believe that (apart from the stupid, blinded, radical SS idiots...or the Russians) some infantryman would have run into a tank or a machine gun in such a stupid way? You take cover and don't run around in the tank's field of view and flank the tank or retreat. The Germans didn't conquer Europe because they were so stupid.

For real

The last scene is based on a WW2 movie "Sahara" starring Humphrey Bogart.

U finished?

Studios should hire you!

@Keaton Castillo he's not a loser lol and this isnt fun... hes got a point, tactically his strategy is period accurate and many Sherman Crews have talked about about deploying that particular tactic,,, and it paying off...

The film producers said that the scene is unrealistic they said the tiger would’ve easily won the fight but for the purpose of the film it doesn’t

@@miuzuri-7176 no one's saying it isnt unrealistic it's just Tim Bean's comment is correct

Want realism? Watch a documentary and you’ll see real tactics. Stop acting like movies and video games need to get everything right

@@mohamedbaradji7504 stfu, it's a good film but the innacuracies are what's stopping it from being a masterpiece

Same here

Same

Same, one of the best WW2 movies

War thunder players are not expert. They can't be the ones who decide if it's realistic or not.

Lol all movies are unrealistic

Agreed. I’m a major history buff, and I admit some lines weren’t that accurate to tank slang, but it was still a good movie.

we got some wars here man! nothing special just few kk civilians but still...

Funny thing, Tiger's top speed was only a bit below Sherman's

The Tiger was actually fairly fast, its just that its engine was underpowered and its mechanical problems kept it from showing its true potential.

aye but what happened when the 2nd sherman got knocked out to the tighers gunner did he just have a stroke and couldnt reload

That gun is called a coax.

@@hamburgerhoover208 actually they're probably talking about the bow gun, the coax is the one next to the cannon and is fired by either the loader or the main gun operator ( believe it's the loader

What do you mean "unnecessarily"? The doctors didn't have the knowledge at the time.....

@@jaybartgis5148 I agree. That is what I am EXACTLY saying. Medical diagnosis and treatments were not sufficient to help them & the vets suffered from it...

That pak shot in the town would have been game over right there and then lol

@@steriskyline4470 well earlier in the movie it took a Panzerschreck in the side and it did nothing.

Was ich mich frage warum geht man mit ner 8.8 einen Nahkampf ein

Yeah, I liked how they were able to just wiggle the machine guns around and still manage to hit their targets. The bow gunner seemed to have uncanny luck with that. . .

the inside was also in flames, death was inevitable.

@@not_spooky The crew's hatches were completely open. The flames were quick to build sure, but the driver, loader, and Co driver should have been more than capable of ditching the vehicle in under 5 seconds; With significant, albeit survivable wounds at the very least. There's a reason why the US reported that less than 1 tank crew were killed per destroyed tank.

Why did he though

The reason for the Tiger not turning towards Fury was because Tiger 131 wasn't allowed to turn its tracks in the movie set so yea Still not sure why the Tiger commander moved forward out of the hiding spot though

Terrible mistake. That Tiger could have used it's long range 88 to it's advantage.

Yup, a crucial mistake indeed, but it´s a movie :)

He sets a time delay to the round which let it expload earlier or later

Hmmm for some reason, I've heard those exact points before. Strange, Almost like that's what everyone's saying in the comments. Interesting

Wow you’re so original, I’ve never seen one of these comments before. Thank you for notifying me about this

@@KillerT-Bone and you provide an invaluable service in highlighting irony and giving peer-support to the hard of thinking.

By this time in the war Germany had very few veteran/fully trained tank crews which is exactly why the tiger lost in that specific fight

source?

Shuriver just search it up

@@Shuriver Go look Bovington tank museum web they have that fact in tiger 131 page.

Its instinctive for them to get into the tank when they sense trouble. That's what they have been taught and trained for years. And they probably didnt even know they have been hit with a panzerfaust.

movie. Sherman bounces all German AT rounds.
