Me.
Good movie but lacked the focus on the white tiger itself.
Expected a good chase after it, following a trail of destroyed Soviet tanks until the showdown.

Interesting.

...when his squad of four Shermans faces off against a “goddamn Tiger” deep inside Germany late in the war.
According to the haters in this thread this movie was supposed to be about a lone Sherman crew singlehandedly taking on the entire Wehrmacht and defeating them in a blaze of American butt kicking superiority over the silly goose stepping (and apparently musical) Germans.

:hmmm:

Who are these "haters" you speak of August?

Good article.
Forgot to mention the allied air superiority. Tank is weakest at the top and a good fighter pilot could have taken a tiger out in a single pass

I'll give you a hint.

It starts with O, and ends with P.

Good article? Really?
So the article is news to people is it?
Riiight.



regurgitating stuff again what we all know.
That towards the end of the war the Germans were vastly outnumbered, Tiger tanks were attacked by air force, and so on and so on.
So what? The movie is still crap, still propagandist garbage from those clowns at Hollywood and the supporters in this thread of this movie should buy themselves a copy once it gets pressed to dvd because, well, if you ever need your fix of American ww2 propaganda, you can watch it over and over and over and.....
and feel good about it.

Now, if on the other hand we get a movie from the clowns about some Germans killing platoons of Americans, hell, count me in.

Yeah, i'm dreaming now aren't i. Because we all know that is never going to happen.

Because we can't let the big bad Germans forget what occurred btw 1939 and 1945.

What a f'in joke.

Napoleon was right.

Easy to jump on the bandwagon when some article which is just regurtitated from history books is posted somewhere and you all bleat: wow, what an eye-opener, that is cool, yeah, wow....etc etc.

Carry on.

Typical.

Yep. Despite me being a member of a military equipment forum (sort of) and a WW2 game brought me here, I'm surprisingly clueless about about that conflict. Half the bits about WW2 you throw at me will be new.
I know how a tiger looks like from Kelly's heroes, I know about D-Day from the Longest day. I don't know the difference between a Huricane and a Spitfire.

I also knew about 5:1 ratio for Shermans to take down a Tiger, I knew about the air cover being the biggest enemy. I never knew that German tanks were to complex to be really reliable and valuable. Never knew they were made by small workshops rather than in large factories and I never knew that they were a rare sight on the western front.
So yeah, that article showed me something new

I thought one would be upset about the Brad Pitt beefcake scene.:hmmm:

Maybe the next time you (Germans) start a war you should:
1. Don't fight a multi-front war.
2. Don't invade Russia:up:.
3. Don't over engineer your tanks.:haha:

Third time a charm?

Then you can make the war movies how you want.:up:

Lucky at football, unlucky at war I guess.

Sorry, but I have to ask for a link still.

If it is so strongly worded one, sure you can give me?

Or BLAA BLAA BULL**** BACKED BY NOTHING?

Another film I have a bad feeling about:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...II-comedy.html

The new 'Dads Army' film. This was an excellent tv comedy about the British Home Guard during WW2, crammed with memorable characters and brilliant scripts. To try and remake it now seems a bit pathetic and I have a feeling it'll dump on the memories of all the original cast.

Here's one of the original episodes:
