what i've noticed is that they never get the German panzers right in any of these films

[KH990j]

@jorcastify They can't even get the American tanks right in this film.

The Sherman was delivered to the Soviet army, too. Some of the most successful tank commanders of the Red Army and many tank crews prefered this tank. According to their experiences it offered the crew even a better protection, if it was hit. So the Sherman must have been better than its reputation.

Someone wrote, that the Sherman was not the tank, that won the war, but it was also not the tank, that lost it!

Depended on the experience and intelligence of the allied commanders. The Sherman was a medium tank, the Tiger a heavy one. A frontal attack was extremely dangerous, but if the allied tank crews outflanked it, using their superior mobility, than even a Tiger was vulnerable.

In the Battle of the Bulge German soldiers - and tank crews - often cursed about the Sherman´s ability to climb easily the hills, while Panthers, Tigers and Royal Tigers were bound to the streets.

Well, Thats just Hollywood. The propaganda is the most important thing. If Hitler had as good of hissing NAZIs as Hollywood did, he would have probably won the war.

@fritzVirginSteeler What I said!

@jorcastify even in the latest movies, they don't, simply because there aren't many left. Saving Private Ryan, i.e., used a soviet (!) T-34 chassis with modified turret and some features added to represent the Tiger tank. Still better looking than a Pershing or a Patton tank, of course! :D

You should try "Kelly's Heroes" for good looking equipment and veichles in an old movie. ;)

@jorcastify nirther exist anymore , except one or two in museums , they have to search and use whats available

[DASCO2136]

@KH990j if anything, they at least did get the size mismatch of the battle right. The King Tigers used in the battle were better protected and armed than the Shermans. I heard it took at least 10 Shermans to kill a single Tiger
