Fury movie

Post by Vanguard »

Here's a more realistic way that the action between the German forces and the American would have played out given the way they portrayed the events.

Hi,
Well that seems more realistic. That would have shortened the film a bit :haha:. Brian...

The logs on the side(which are very 88-HV proof) seem smaller than I remember them in the film............!!
Yes, probably the outcome.
The Tiger was also capable of turning within its length, so not necessarily required to chase Fury with its turret.

Indeed.

Another scenario:

The Tiger would have stayed exactly where it was and killed all 4 Shermans at long range with the 88.

Tiger 1 Mid Torro,
Tiger 1 Late Taigen,
King Tiger Taigen (P)
Jagdtiger Torro

Yes I agree, Tiger would have sat there taken the lead sherman out then the rear one then those in the middle. All while staying at the edge of the tree line incase allied aircraft were about :).

Lead Sherman............any others it could, then disengage.
Or, emerge from smoke, stop, traverse & fire without moving.

Or...............it sat there long enough to be hammered by 'Jabo's" or flanked & taken another way...........

Or while the Tiger was concentrating on the Sherman to its front another Sherman was firing into the engine and tracks of the Tiger as per the Manual.

Good afternoon,
I saw it in the theater when it first came out because 'TANKS'. I distinctly remember the hair on my arms standing up when the Tiger started it's engine. ( saw it in a movie house with a top drawer sound system, reclining power seats and food delivered to you at your chair ) I really enjoyed everything about the tanks and the rest of the movie featured good performances by the actors some 70 years removed from what it really was like. Apologies to any I have offended. When a British tank movie comes out with 'TANKS', you can bet your bottom shilling that I will be there in a theater to see it also. ( and own the 4K version like 'Fury', naturally ;o) ( On that note, I picked up 'Dunkirk last week and plan to sit down and watch it this coming weekend. ;o) No spoilers please. *chuckles*
regards,
Painless
