While I can overlook the vanishing panzerfaustes during the climactic assault scene in this movie, the fact that the Tiger borrowed from the Bovington Museum used in the movie is clearly an "early production" Tiger is just soooo wrong. Can't they tell the glaring visual differences between an early, mid and late production Tiger???!!! |

Did the use of a M4A2 bother you to the same extent? |

In the final months of the war they encountered various vehicles that were either used for training or demonstrations that were pressed into service. I can accept that this Tiger was used for such purposes and sent into combat with a green crew, which explains their weird behaviour in battle. |

I don't think there were many (if any?) shots of Fury from the engine deck or rear quarter that you could identify it as an M4A2(76)W… Edit: there were still early Tigers in service at the end of the war. IIRC Grossdeuschland had several rebuilds with early features, so theoretically possible. More glaring is that they did not repaint the Tiger, & still sported its North Africa color scheme. That's a bit more pedantry for you… In the end, I was far less bothered by that than many of the other issues with the movie… Damon. |

The only good thing about Fury was the money that Bovington hopefully made out of it. The film was complete rubbish. |

Now we know how the "Napoleonics" gamers feel, haha. |

I sense sarcasm in the OP |

Never get your history – or your theology – from a movie. I found 'Fury' quite entertaining tho. If I want WWII history, I'll put on 'World at War'. |

…well, it wasn't "True" '25 scale, so… |

I agree with Patrick R – why would a perfectly good Tiger drive towards some Shermans? |

Obviously 20mm is the one true scale for WWII. Anything else is just wrong. |

Despite the stupidity of the Tiger advancing towards the Shermans and letting Fury shoot and disable it from the rear instead of just sitting back and picking them off one by one, the scene is pretty cool I guess. youtu.be/L8vFGQ0uJQc |
