| Not as cool as the real thing of course, the cool shit in the
| Australian tank museum would be the real tanks. Seeing a tank
| that can fire a nuke is pretty amazing especially when you
| realize it is both nothing special and amazing what humans can do
| as average.
|
| Like the video says visit a tank museum if you get a chance.

| (The Tiger ambush scenwas their 2nd most laughable one, as they
| were told to not turn 131 in oder to protect its drive train, and
| so got shot in the ass. Besides that, Panzerfuehrer were trained
| to go for first and last tank in a column to block movement, and
| especially if one is a Firefly!)

| Spotted the Panzerfuhrer.

| This scene as shot was beyond idiotic. Never would have a

| his superior optics, and relying on frontal glacis armor.
|
| (...rounds don't ricochet off fields, kids! This is
| supposedly timed as spring '45)
|
| But "uh hu, we got permission to use 131 in a movie, so we
| definitely need to show it driving around!" With the museum's
| explicit restriction of not turning, as to save wear on that
| precious (it is!) final drive, so there you have it: an
| idiotic "leave-perfect-hiding-drive-fwd-drive-backward-and-
| lets-just-outturn-the-Fireflys-turret-by-turning-ours" game.

| I mean... you don't really need to pick on their tank

| ludicrous. "I'll just stand up on top of this tank and none
| of the hundreds of Nazis will be able to hit me for at
| least 5 minutes". Ok.
|
| I thought it was a decent film until they massively jumped
| the shark in the last scene. Someone needs to do a "sane
| edit", then you can complain about the tactical accuracy.

| Councidence. I watched this yesterday. I thought the Fury film

| happened

| Visiting the Tank Museum is something I do when I go to England.
| I wish I could be there on Tiger Day and see it driving around.
| It's an amazing machine to see in person. Having four actual WW2
| Shermans plus the Tiger in Fury made the movie so much more
| amazing; it's not a great movie, but the actual vehicles made it
| special.

| I would love to visit Moscow's Kubinka tank museum.
|
| Not only it has a Tiger, but a Panzer VIII and a Karl Gerat
| Self Propelled Gun are also visibile among the german ww2
| weaponry.
|
| Sadly, I don't see myself getting there in many years.
