It was very believable, as far as the .50 there's precedent of it happening in real life... Fury is basically a lot of individual instances of what could happen over the course of 3-4 years of war in large group condenced and consolidated to one crew and 2 hours. Didn't some Army 1stSgt receive the MOH doing just that? I thought the execution of the POW was shit. Almost gratuitous. |

Overall the movie does a good job of showing how it sucked being in a Sherman when they went up against German armor. I knew an old Sgt. that was a TC from d-day+2 to Germany. He said they never went looking for heavy or medium German armor- that was what reverse gear and the air corps were for. It also showed the outright hatred many GI's had to Waffen-SS. I remember him saying that they were no Waffen-SS prisoners that he took, and if was German Army, it better be 5 or more. I wish it had done a better job of showing the effect of Panzerfausts and Panzerschrecks at that stage of the war. George said that by the time they got into Germany, the biggest fear was not Tigers and Panthers, but the 14 year old hiding behind a wall or fence with a Panzerfausts He said he lost quite a few buddies that way. He was a neat old guy and I miss his stories.

In reality those SS boys would have fucked that Sherman up in 15 minutes tops. lol And they screwed up by having every 5th or 6th SS guy carrying a Panzerfaust on his shoulder while they were marching, but then they opened up a couple of cases of them and said "these are all we have..." Using MG42s against the Sherman was kinda stupid too. 
In reality they would have sent in a few troopers to recon the crossroad and they would have dealt with the Sherman without exposing the whole damned company. And, as you know, the SS were heavily mechanized, so there would more than likely been a few more vehicles than one 1/2-track. The scene where they approached the tree line and fought it out with those guns was really amazing. Over all I like it but there's no way in hell that tank would have survived more than 15 minutes. And there wouldn't have been that many SS loses against a single immobilized Sherman. |

And there wouldn't have been that many SS loses against a single immobilized Sherman. You're overthinking it. Its a work of fiction. But, a couple of points: its well documented that in April 1945 there wasn't much operable armor remaining for Germany. The war was nearly over. Also, there are many accounts throughout the war of one soldier or marine single handedly taking out dozens of attackers. In this movie it happens to be a badass tank crew doing it.

It's still a tactic practiced today. Not quite how it was demonstrated in the movie. I totally get that it's a fictionalized account, but it was still irritating. ETA - And considering the effective range of an MG42 they could have, and would have, set up a firing position 500-1,000 meters away and been relatively safe from the limited visibility of the Sherman's MG gunners... If there's one thing that Germans had mastered by the end of WWII it was how to fuck shit up with MG crews. Their entire infantry doctrine was based around MGs doing the heavy lifting. I like the movie but that kinda stuff just bothers me. IMHO Saving Private Ryan was much more believable in this regard. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I don't know if I can watch that one. Shia Lefruit seems to ruin the movies he is in. He doesn't always play some blabber mouth blubbering fool. He didn't ruin Fury. I think like a few have said, it compressed the character development of the noob. Some things I thought were not as good as they could have been... The first battle with the AT gun, the tracers looked like Star Wars blaster bolts. It looked a little on the hokey side, but was still gripping. I did like the first person view of the gun firing. Against the Tiger, I was on the edge of my seat. I knew that 4 Shermans against a Tiger could prevail, but 3 of the Shermans would likely be lost. You could see the one burly heavyset TC was almost crying... he knew he was fucked. The problem I had was that they compressed the range a bit... and that the Tiger targeted the M4 (with the short 75mm gun) instead of the Easy 8 with the better 76mm gun, which was a greater threat. It was pretty well known that if the kraut tankers could see a greater threat (like a Sherman Firefly for instance), they would try to take it out first. Next, when Fury got around the Tiger's right flank, after its turret had traversed left, it wouldn't have been able to get its gun around fast enough. It was one weak point of the Tiger... very slow turret traverse... but it did convey the terror and the need for tank crews to wear brown pants. It was also cool that the Tiger in the movie... was a REAL Tiger tank. That was a cool factor to it. Overall, it's part was pretty small. |

The logs stopping the 88 round at basically knife fighting range was less believable than the SS unit being chopped up by the Sherman at the crossroads.
At that range, it should have gone through the other side. Don't get started on angled hits etc., it was point blank range, 88 vs Sherman side armor and logs. No, no, no. |

To me it was a harsh reminder that the US has not always enjoyed superiority in equipment in every aspect. That we forced men into inferior tanks is appalling and I pray as a nation we never allow our men and women to go to war with inferior equipment. The tank battle against ONE Tiger Tank really pissed me off, because I know that guys died like that taking them on.

At the time the tactic for taking out a Tiger was to attack it with 4-5 Shermans with the expectation that only one or two would survive the fight. The plan was to overwhelm the Germans with more material, not better material. That's not the way we do it any more. |

I think you're missing the point I made. The Tiger had traversed it's turret left to fire at the third M4... at the ranges in the movie, it couldn't have turned it's turret around fast enough to get onto Fury in the first place. Go to 17:00 in this video, a Tiger crew member says full turret rotation was 1.5 to 2 minutes powered, and 3 to 5 minutes by hand. That sucker turned slowly. 
I do think they compressed the range a bit for the visual effect... but still, if the Shermans got wide enough, close enough, at least one or two could have closed distance and done some damage. |

Yeah - slow turret speed on the Tiger was one of its weaknesses. I recall reading a quote from a U.S. WWII tanker that was something to the effect of "you had time to bounce 3 or 4 shots off a Tiger's armor before it could crank that turret around and blow you to hell".
