@@cawmen you're also wrong. You can tell from the comments from this video that most people here have never been in combat, nor have they been in a tank column.
The director explained in a behind-the-scenes segment that yes, normally the Tiger would pick off the lead tank, but if they killed Brad Pitt off then there's no more movie.
@@leafleap because the division commander was dumb enough to assign Norman, which never killed anyone, to secure his six, getting him and his crew killed, the reason Wardaddy were the leader is because his cannon was the strongest out of the four. Why Fury didnt got shot first? script.
Alot of things actually. Tank commanders are taught to take out the lead tank first than the last tank in a convoy to trap the others, the lead is also usually the commander of the convoy. A Tiger would NEVER have left its cover the way it did in the film, even if sight lines are blocked with a smoke shell, the Tiger would have backed up to keep its range advantage. Also the 76mm cannon on Fury would have easily punched through the Tigers frontal plating, the 75mm the other Sherman's have would have bounced at that long range so that part is partly accurate.
Or maybe he got concussed? That tank literally took over 15 hits before going down lol...just one of those hits could knock some of the crew out in there.
Tiger tanks have barely enough space for its crew so its pretty obvious that after nore thab 5 hits with 75mm guns tge tiger crew would be all too duzzy to continue thier work and in a study 15 hits from 75mm guns are enough to make the crew of a tiger to get their ears burst out with blood...
If I was the screen-writer/director I would've added some well placed "foul language" in Spanish by the Hispanic driver; he does say vámonos at the end
Any tank on tank fight is scary. Actually, considering actual statements from allied tank commanders Tigers were the least of their worries. They'd often break down before or during combat.
And he could have been wrong, it could be a towed 88 in ambush. I don't doubt a experienced tank commander could tell the difference between an 88 firing and let's say a 75 firing, but I doubt he would tell the difference between a towed 88 and a Tiger firing from that distance without seeing more of the gun.
This specific Tiger crew was famous in the German Army. They had the slowest loader, the worst driver and the most incapable commander. They only managed one round every three minutes while the German average was 5/ minute.
@@rc59191 no it took ten Sherman’s to take out one Tiger, this is Hollywood bs. A famous German quote is,”It takes ten Sherman’s to take out one tiger. But they always had eleven.”
@@rc59191 You need to do more research, Buddy. It took a very specific spot to be hit on the Tiger for the Sherman do even have a chance . Most Shermans projectiles would just bounce of the Tiger.
Much respect to anyone, friend or foe, who served their time in a tank. Knowing the whole time that that tank could very well become their tomb. Same with submariners.
ye it's sad that people see all the german soldiers like stupid nazis but it wasn't true at all most of them wanted to just live but if they wouldn't join army they would just killed them.
I feel like a sub was probably even worse tbh because even if you survive an initial attack, when it sinks youre trapped inside until it either completely fills with freezing water or you run out of oxygen in whatever small air pocket you might find, in the dark, at the botton of the ocean... i know they had oxygen tanks for emergencies, but they had a limit to how far theyd take you, once you hit the seabed you were done for really.
Say what you will about this movie. The image of the Tiger slowly driving out of the smoke like a monster revealing itself in the mist still feels badass to me.
it was a poor decision from the commander since they didn't spotted the tiger then, the only thing that they did was putting a smoke in the direction where the shot came from
Very intimidating and ahead of it's time just imagine being told one is around or in front of you making your little Tank feel like a toy compared to it but sadly if only it wasn't such a pain to maintain not the good time for it to be ahead.
The really impressive part is that the production crew was able to get a real M4A2E8! The Tigers they sourced are almost equally as rare. Getting them both on a field together will probably never happen again without CGI.
I remember there was a saying: If the Tiger noticed your Sherman and fired first, you are dead. If your Sherman noticed the Tiger and shot the first, you're dead.
Yeah nah, sounds like bullshit. The 76 mm M1A2 gun on M4A3E8 Shermans (like the one Brad is commanding) had no trouble penetrating the Tiger's front armor at several hundred meters.
@@dan8250 But there weren't very many with that setup in the beginning of the campaign, only towards the end did that kind of armament become more commonplace.
@@bryanperalta740 To be fair. It is absolutely unfinkable to any tanker anywhere in the world to shoot the tank at the end first. Fury tank should have been destroyed first and movie ended roght here. End of story, absolutely no discusion about that. Scenarists fucked up big way.
My fathers sherman was taken out by an 88. The shot went through the side armour THEN through the engine THEN through the armour on the other side so how the hell does a bit of wood deflect it ????? Totally dumb movie.
@@stevea2685 best guess, plz don't hate me, is the angle. If FURY was completely broadside then wood wouldn't be alive, plus said wood. Plz don't quote me but it might be the case. There was a case of a Sherman avoiding a shell killing it outright because of a telephone poll that took the hit and deflected it saving the crew. It was an part of an episode of Greatest Tank Battles.
Tbf those 88mm rounds would of been a bit heavier to load than the shermans 76mm round. But I know what your saying. A competent crew should still of been able to fire roughly 8 to 10 rounds a minute if they were on top form.
@@jonparton5082 Don't forget that TIger's turret was super slow and hard to aim from at moving targets. Not to mention that in real life TIger crews would rather retreat and gain distance than try to shoot anything maneuverable at close range.
And the commander and driver were too noobs, did not lean 30 deg to deflect AP, did not cover the underparts to prevent fire and even not use camp to hide the tank
I always wondered why they don't build a few more of older tanks and planes just for the fun of it can't think of a great reason why but it's still the same tank if you build it like they did back then
@@jakeshumway9487 I think it mostly has to do with the fact most of the parts used for army vehicles in ww2 are no longer made and discontinued, plus the cost effect to just make them would be alot more higher compared to the price in 1940
He is a good actor, but it’s said that he’s mean behind the scenes during movie filming that’s why directors don’t want him. He is good at acting though
The short 75mm canon on the Sherman's velocity on average was about 2000 fps. The German 88 would be screaming at 2,500 to over 3,000 fps. It sounded like literal death coming your way and thats what made it an all around effective antitank and antiair gun.
Fun fact: There was only about 1400 Tiger Tanks ever produced, so seeing one was a rare sight. Edit: Y’all are wild, I’ve been reading the replies and maaannnn it’s juicy
@@billbaba6994 it’s an interesting fact because if you compare the number of tanks the US and Soviet built, both countries built almost 50 times the amount of tanks than the Germans. With that fact, if you pitted all the tiger tanks against either the Sherman or T34. The Germans would run out of ammo long before the allies ran out of tanks.
@@Luis-be9mi The Tiger wasn't meant to be the contemporary of the T-34 or the Sherman though, that would be the Panzer 4, which had ~8,553 units produced. Which, to be fair is to be expected. The USSR and the USA's production was insane.
One thing this movie got right is the fact you felt like you were in the battle. The actors did a great job showing fear, adrenaline, and every other emotion. The sounds of the rounds were crazy in the theater, sounded like you actually had a AP round flying passed your head.
except for Brad Pitt, when his head's not in a role you really feel it, he could have actually, literally phoned in all of those flat "Goddamnit" takes for ADR and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
While the tactics are off here, I still can't help but love the way the Tiger strolls forward from the smoke like a menacing killing machine. Imagine the fear of seeing one of these on the battlefield - or even just being an infantryman and seeing a hulking steel beast rumbling towards you.
The spectacle is where this scene succeeds and that is an important part of a ww2 movie, it's not about showing it exactly how it would have gone. It's about showing it in a cool way whilst still respecting the real events and making sense. Just my opinion.
This scene may be wrong as Hell, but damn, I loved how realistic the acting was. War Machine's reaction after he saw the shells simply bouncing off the Tiger's thick frontal armor just made me realize how unfortunate you were if you met face to face with this metal beast.
There was a documentary about ww2 where they interviewed tank crews.. Everyone of them picked the tiger if they had to choose which tank they'd rather be in.. Me personally?.. Pershing..
Panzer Mark IV, particularly model f and up, those were good tanks, and actually useful for proper combined arms warfare. Tiger was too slow and used too much fuel.
@shehab976 *most un-realistic you mean lol. No way that tank would have survived, a destroyed transmission and engine AT THE LEAST. But Fury would have been toast
@@Saikyouuu imagine tank game without nerds suicide revenge bombing and half of the team logging out mid game. Both games are meh, war thunder has horrible grind though.
@@Saikyouuu Imagine having a pay to grind system, horrible maps awful community that just logs off in the game and crazy prices for most premium vehicles. Both games have enough Problems that they should focus on them instead of which game is better.
I think the Sherman's cannon could actually damage the armor even from the front unlike this movie. The Panther is a bit scarier in that respect I guess.
I think I read that standard American doctrine in the event of encountering Tigers and/or German armor in general was to actually charge simply because there was almost always more American armor than German and they could overwhelm the German armor; the Germans only produced 1400 or so Tigers and only like 9000-10,000 Panzer IVs vs the 50,000 Shermans built. Actual causalities for tank crews in knocked out Shermans were typically only one member of the crew near the site penetration; they were hardly the death traps some historians portray them to be.
I literally said to my boy when we saw this in theaters when it came out “Why does the Tiger have its own boss music?” And I’m glad I’m not the only one who realizes it 😂 he swore I was just being stupid
However, some of the "mistakes" in this tank fight can be explained by the reality on the film set. Normally, a real Tiger would have turned on the spot in the fight against several Shermans to get a better firing position or to increase the effectiveness of the armor. However, this Tiger was not a CGI-Tiger, this is the only Tiger still in running condition worldwide, from the Bovington tank museum, the Bovington museum management gave the film crew precise instructions about what they could and could not do or do with this tank. For example, the tank was allowed to move forward and backward, but cornering, as well as turning directly on the tracks, was forbidden. I have once read that the tank mechanics in Bovington are worried when this Tiger is moved for demonstrations. Because if there is something seriously broken, the gearbox, for example, then you can hardly go to the next tank store and order a new one there, which must be made by hand, and that takes a long time and is damn expensive. So it happened that the film crew was highly limited in the use of this one Tiger :)
Granted, the chances of a Tiger I being well-maintained and working reliably in 1945 weren't high to begin with. In addition, the Tiger featured in this clip is the early-model Tiger Ausführung H, meaning its transmission would be that much older and battle-worn in addition to the teething problems the early models experienced. It's arguable that not turning on the spot isn't just because of the realities of filming a museum piece, but is actually accurate to how a Tiger with a worn-out gearbox, suspension, and/or treads might be driven.
They could have used some "movie magic" to pan around the tank with the camera towards the sky to give the illusion of the tank turning, then just move the tank to the correct direction when you cut back. But that would take work and brain power. That's something you don't usually see in Hollywood.
I got probably the funniest ad placement watching this clip. At about the 5:40 mark immediately after the German tank commander got machine gunned and fell back into the turret of his tank, a short 5 second Coors ad came up showing a guy cracking open a cold beer smiling and relaxing on a hammock.
The shock, awe and fear of the crews when they realize it’s a tiger says it all. Even such experienced tanker crews feared facing a tiger tank and rightfully so
Actually, Tigers didn't have any effect on the war other than morale boosting and wasting German resources. It's transmission would inevitably break after a couple hundred kilometers or so I think, which is was below the average tank of the time. Besides the poor transmission, they were produced in such small numbers that even if they were great tanks, the Germans would still have lost
@@tristandaries1129 It was a vehicle wich is very likely to break down etc. But still Tiger 1/2 managed to get a Kill Ratio of 1:10. 10 Enemy Tanks for every Tiger destroyed by Enemy fire. If you also consider losses due lack of fuel and mechanical breakdown the ratio was 1:5 . 20.000 Enemy Tanks knocked out didn't had an effect because the allied had combined 150000 of them.
@@marcusstrobl8316actually the allies counted downed a downed tank as one that was momentarily taken out of service while Germans only counted it when the tank was permanently taken out of service
@@tristandaries1129 No they did have an impact, both Tiger 1 and 2 are credited with destroying (at least) 10,300 enemy tanks, and 11,380 AT guns and artillery pieces in WW2. The Allies took the Tiger very seriously, devoting considerable time to tracking their movements.
2:16 Great acting from Logan Lerman. Loved Norman's shocked reaction when he sees the massive, seemingly impenetrable Tiger taking no damage from shots fired at it.
That dark choir vocalization at 1:28 was incredible, it really sold the dread of Allied tank crews would feel while staring a Tiger which was almost Satan for that era of tanks. Even when they won, it felt like they lost since it was a 1:3 exchange.
I might be misremembering but I think everyone agreed (Allies and Axis) that 1 Tiger was equal of 10 Shermans, so the United States made sure to bring 11 Shermans to every encounter hah. But It's also sort of a myth as well so it might be untrue as well but its interesting anyways.
The energy of this scene is absolutely breaking. The crew finally won the fight, but feelings related with loosing their brothers in arms in such crushing circumstances, seeing that one man can treat another one with such hate and soulless made it feel like total loss. Eternal respect for people fighting for their loved ones, humanity and moral rules.
If %100 of the german troops,fighting on the eastern front, had been on the western front,the glorious german army would have scattered the us troops to million pieces
Best part of the movie , it breaks from the typical depiction of ww2 combat being heroic (until the end scene) and shows the brutal, grinding nature that the combat was.
@@michaelram3411 short answer: No they'd not be able to, it'd almost be impossible for Germany to defend itself against a country which is more than 25x larger
My unpopular theory as to why the Tiger crew made maneuvers so improbable they wouldn't happen with any other crew: They had all somehow gotten into Herman Goering's Morphine stash and were all jacked up on it. That would be the only way as to how it would make sense to me.
Tiger tanks were mechanically unreliable and maintenance intensive. USA used medium tanks largely because of the logistical issue of moving them halfway around the world.
@@oldhag2881 thanks for the fun fact, but how does that apply to what I was mentioning? That's like saying "That driver destroyed his sports car when he drove into a stop sign while drunk." and you saying "A truck would be much more sturdy and practical vehicle than a sports car."
Since this scene takes place at the END of the war, the german tank was probably crewed by a bunch of half-trained teenagers by this point. In my own head, that is how I justify this tiger crew's relatively poor performance.
I read online, so it's true, a quote from a German tank commander, "our tanks are worth 4 of theirs, but they always had five." Even if no one said that it's pretty historically accurate. The tiger was a solo beast of deviating power but confined to a wheelchair. The Sherman packed a lighter punch but was lighter, faster and hunted in packs.
A spider can kill and eat several ants at once, but if there are enough ants, the ants will eat the spider. Yeah the tigers absolutely crushed the allied tanks in any direct combat, but the allies had an endless supply of cheap mass produced crap tanks to swarm the Germans with. This scene is wrong on many many many levels, and the tiger should have easily killed all 4 shermans. The germans would never have advanced like they did, as the tiger's main advantage was range and armor. At distance there was absolutely nothing a sherman could do to even dent a tiger, while a tiger could easily kill them at leisure. (I recall a story of a german tiger being hit literally hundreds of times, and while no longer being mobile, was still able to keep firing.
Well not to the extent you’d think, the fury’s 76mm could and would effectively penetrate the front of a tiger (search up Sherman easy-8) to an extent where German tank commanders would prioritize downing the 76mm tanks as the other 75mm Shermans needed to get far closer. But there’d have not been any drama if this battle was realistic, as that tiger wouldn’t have moved from it’s initial position at all. That quote however, became less and less of a reality as the war progressed is the point I’m making, is2s and Sherman fireflies gave tigers a run for their money.
@@TOMMY_2802 The easy8 was a late war version of the sherman with a vastly better upgraded gun, and had significantly better armor. They are in early war shermans in this movie, but you would be correct had they been in the upgraded Sherman E8A1s.
What choice do they have? The Shermans were designed to be lightweight and faster than German tanks, and the Tiger has them pinned by the woods so the only way the Sherman can beat it is by speeding around the behind where the armor is the weakest. Better take the chances with attacking than waiting and shit.
With all if the inaccuracies in this scene, it still shows very well how absolutely horrifying it was to have to battle a tiger in a Sherman. You can scoff at the issues with realism all day long but it leaves the same result anyway. It shows why you don't ever want to find yourself in that situation and makes you glad you never will. Hats off to this film and I gotta give it to Ayer for using tiger 131 for this scene which is the only time a real tiger tank was used in film
In reality I would guess the Tiger would have loosely followed the fleeing Shermans or kept its distance if they advanced toward it, either way allowing for a safe distance to be oblivious to return fire while still being able to destroy the Shermans. That thought of not really seeing the enemy but knowing it has your number somewhere off the in the distance is horrifying. It would cause a sane man to flee the large target and start digging holes in the forest to start a new life.
@@Magneticitist At the range this fight occurred all of the tanks including the Tiger were glass cannons. Even the 75mm guns on the standard M4 Sherman's in this formation could penetrate the frontal armor of the Tiger. Most certainly Fury with the 76mm main gun. In the engagement IN REAL LIFE that killed German Tank Ace Michael Wittman. 3 Shermans ( a formation just like this one which included one firefly and two base M4 Shermans) defeated 3 Tigers at close range (but still further range than this scene) without suffering a single loss. The most unrealistic thing about this scene is how daunting they make the Tiger. At this range, the tiger has lost all of its advantages and the Sherman being quicker and more maneuverable was actually the superior tank. Where the Tiger was a BEAST was at the extent of it's effective range. Where it could accurately and effectively engage targets, but any return fire would be ineffective. In the scenario here in Fury, it's armor was irrelevant. It was too close.
2:28 I can't even imagine being the rest of the crew in the tank of the guy who's whole upper body just disappeared. Just seeing a bloody stump of a body slump down into the turret and knowing the next shell is coming to take you out. That would be a terrible final few moments
There is a book called "Spearhead" that is about a Sherman tank gunner's experience in WW2 (highly recommended book). Something similar to what you described actually happened (that I won't spoil). It was very shocking to read about.
ne başyapıtı arkadaşım. Tiger ın içinde olsan seni 600mtden vuramayacak bir tankın üzerine mi gidersin yoksa bulunduğun konumdan vurur musun? film baştan aşağı saçmalıklarla dolu. heleki son sahnesi... berbat ötesi bir film...
The reason it is one of my favorite films is the character interactions. Those feelings, conversations, and reactions are insanely accurate. I've literally had those conversations with my truck commanders and squad leaders. It's based on a collection of stories from different units. Just like video games magically have you participate in every famous battle in WWII, this puts Fury into all the legends of the Western Front. I'd say it is really inaccurate, but not unrealistic
@@thegermanfool8953 they think numbers matter the most while not caring about the physics of this stuff. The weather, speed, curve... Hell, even the material of the impact zone dictates the damage that will be done. But yeah, the Tiger would've blown the shit out of FURY if this wasn't a movie
@Giovanni Martinez If that would have been real the leading Sherman would have been the first target then the last one creating a sort of barricade the tanks in the middle can't overcome. This was a common German ambush tactic since they simply didn't have the numbers to fight against the sheer mass of the Allied forces. Then again the Us don't have Air power in the movie so an advantage for the Germans maybe?
I think it was pretty accurate overall. When two tank units met, there are three outcomes: a) It is a seal clubbing for your side. While preventing the enemy from making it to c. b) You can drag the enemy into allied AT guns or Rockets c) You somehow have to hit their weak armor - no mater the losses - to not have your unit totally wiped out. A Sherman group fighting a Tiger frontally? It is a seal clubbing for the Tiger A Sherman group charging forward, flanking so at least one can hit the side or aft armor? That is the only chance the sherman has to survive. They were supported by the rather low range here. A Tiger had a effective gunrange of up to 2km. 500-700 meters is a dagerously short distance for any lone tank
@@christopherg2347 this knowledge has actually changed my playstyle in games like Warthunder and world of tanks where, while not entirely accurate, the Tigers do a lot better at range than up close.
@@christopherg2347the front tank, also known as Fury, had the 76mm, and all the others had 75, Fury was also at the front of the convoy so it would probably be the first target, also, the Tiger had good cover and position, so there wasn’t really reason to move, and finally, most tank commanders would have an easier and more accurate shot if they were to stop before firing
@@charles5895 You dont attack 4 tanks when you are on low ammo. So, no. The reason for not shooting isnt about ammo. I think the gun jammed, its what really happened to most real Tiger tanks.
@@dennybarlau8065 Well, we just saw a Tiger move out of perfectly good cover, and charge alone, against a tank platoon that had very little chance of ever penetrating his frontal armor, which conveniently led to a Sherman having a chance to hit his side and rear. If this was anywhere near close to realistic, the Tiger would be reversing instead to keep distance. And when they got in that close, the Tiger would have traversed around his hull to turn its turret quicker and keep his frontal armor at the Sherman instead of continuing to reverse/advance.. And to be fair, at that close distance of less than a hundred meters the Sherman should have been more than able to penetrate the flat frontal armor of the Tiger, instead of keeping on trying to get behind it...
That's right. Facts snd historical accuracy mean squat to you soy milk millenials. How you "FEEL" is all that matters. Go have a good blub in your cry closet.
@@doublep1980 Yeah but historical accuracy is important. Like for instance in real life the Tiger would've hit Fury (which was at the front) to stop the convoy, then shoot the rear tank next and finally pick off the middle tanks. Or the fact that the Tiger commander would've never moved from his position in real life because why would he? He had a perfect ambush position where the Shermans couldn't see the Tiger. Or that the Fury tanks real life counterpart was a M4 Sherman Firefly VC, which was outfitted with a 76.2mm British heavy pounder and used APCBC (Armour Piercing, Capped, Balistic Capped) and APDS (Armour Piercing, Discarding Sabot) shells. It was also the only British tank that could reliably penetrate Panther and Tiger tanks in their frontal armour from a distance of 550 meters. By the way, I'm only using facts stated by historians and a tank veteran themselves, not making all of this up. Even the director of the film stated quote "In WW2, this battle would've ended with the Tiger killing the shermans". If you are into tanks and history then that kinda ruins the immersion in this film. But hey, It's hollywood so atleast the director made a decent and entertaining film. Keep enjoying it and have a nice day.
The sherman used smoke to cover their ass... If tiger not move forward and killed them one by one they will be dead when 3 sherman shoot their ass in close range...
It's all for extra movie drama. The tiger had a massive advantage where it was, and moving forward would be pointless. That being said, the Sherman firefly also had a gun that could kill the tiger at range, so it having to get closer was also just for the sake of drama. Not to mention that the tiger commander would have likely spotted that longer barrel and shot the firefly first.
The tigers turret was driven by a hydraulic motor that was connected to the engine by a drive shaft The speed of the turret was dependent on the engine RPM So when fury closed and got closer it caused the tiger turret to slow down giving them the advantage
@@Creditwashere negative. The 76mm gun was more than capable of penetrating a Tiger's armor at that range. The other 75mm guns needed that flank. Just another reason why that Tiger would have targeted Fury immediately. An experienced TC (which he obviously was having an Early Tiger 134 alive so late in the war and being a Tiger Ace) would have identified this before the first shot was even fired.
Even if you don't like the action you can't deny this is a great looking movie. The white smoke crawling out of the shell holes in the tiger's engine bay after the fight is done is such a beautiful contrast to the breakneck action of the scene before it.
He apparently got so into character that he claimed he was having nightmares and claimed to be a veteran when pulled over by a cop for erratic driving. Shia is more than a bit crazy.
Realistic or not, this is easily one of the most intense and visceral scenes in any war movie ever made. My adrenaline was pumping SO hard the whole time.
We didn't even scratch them! That one didn't go through! We didn't penetrate their armor! It bounced off! That one ricocheted! Ricochet. We've just dinged them.
A really great addition to this scene was the chatter of the German crew in the Tiger. It gives the impression that they are just a tank crew, in a hellish situation, just like the crew of the Fury. They want to live just as bad.
@@potatojuice5124 Lemme give u an example, have u ever been in a high adrenaline situation? If u haven't been in one yet u basically do anything even if it doesn't make sense, sure the driver was so scared that he just goed backwards
While I’ve learned the strategy of this battle may not be the best the scene is still a beauty when it comes to showing emotion, the desperation shows so clearly as the tanks gets killed and the relief after the tank gets destroyed is fantastic
@@SirEggo2412 Fury would have been taken out first, since they were trained to target the 76 Shermans first. The rest would have been quickly dispatched with no hope of fighting back. The whole thing would have been over within 5 mins.

A Tiger would NEVER have left its cover the way it did in the film, even if sight lines are blocked with a smoke shell, the Tiger would have backed up to keep its range advantage.
Also the 76mm cannon on Fury would have easily punched through the Tigers frontal plating, the 75mm the other Sherman's have would have bounced at that long range so that part is partly accurate.

Tiger tanks have barely enough space for its crew so its pretty obvious that after nore thab 5 hits with 75mm guns tge tiger crew would be all too duzzy to continue thier work and in a study 15 hits from 75mm guns are enough to make the crew of a tiger to get their ears burst out with blood...
Pretty sure the reverse manuever was meant to dodge a shot, got left on the cutting boars
Actually when the tanks are close to each other it takes more rotation to aim so takes longer to get shots out

The spectacle is where this scene succeeds and that is an important part of a ww2 movie, it's not about showing it exactly how it would have gone. It's about showing it in a cool way whilst still respecting the real events and making sense. Just my opinion.
Yeah, I've been in front and ON that Tiger 131 in Bovington.
Surely it is impressive, it is a monster compared to the other tanks.

In reality the Shermans here were all capable of penetrating the front armor of the Tiger, especially Fury with it's 76mm cannon.
This scene may be wrong as Hell, but damn, I loved how realistic the acting was. War Machine's reaction after he saw the shells simply bouncing off the Tiger's thick frontal armor just made me realize how unfortunate you were if you met face to face with this metal beast.
There was a documentary about ww2 where they interviewed tank crews.. Everyone of them picked the tiger if they had to choose which tank they'd rather be in.. Me personally?.. Pershing..
Pershing? Good choice, I would either choose a Panther or a Churchill Mk7 crocodile
I would honestly go for the IS-2. Despite its drawbacks, it's an amazing tank.

I think I read that standard American doctrine in the event of encountering Tigers and/or German armor in general was to actually charge simply because there was almost always more American armor than German and they could overwhelm the German armor; the Germans only produced 1400 or so Tigers and only like 9000-10,000 Panzer IVs vs the 50,000 Shermans built.
Actual causalities for tank crews in knocked out Shermans were typically only one member of the crew near the site penetration; they were hardly the death traps some historians portray them to be.

1:32 gives me the WT chills
However, some of the "mistakes" in this tank fight can be explained by the reality on the film set. Normally, a real Tiger would have turned on the spot in the fight against several Shermans to get a better firing position or to increase the effectiveness of the armor.
However, this Tiger was not a CGI-Tiger, this is the only Tiger still in running condition worldwide, from the Bovington tank museum, the Bovington museum management gave the film crew precise instructions about what they could and could not do or do with this tank.
For example, the tank was allowed to move forward and backward, but cornering, as well as turning directly on the tracks, was forbidden.
I have once read that the tank mechanics in Bovington are worried when this Tiger is moved for demonstrations. Because if there is something seriously broken, the gearbox, for example, then you can hardly go to the next tank store and order a new one there, which must be made by hand, and that takes a long time and is damn expensive.
So it happened that the film crew was highly limited in the use of this one Tiger :)
Given the soft ground and the fact the _Tiger_ had been idling for a while neutral turning might not have been possible.
I in Sherman keep popping smoke until behind flaking real world who knows
Granted, the chances of a Tiger I being well-maintained and working reliably in 1945 weren't high to begin with. In addition, the Tiger featured in this clip is the early-model Tiger Ausführung H, meaning its transmission would be that much older and battle-worn in addition to the teething problems the early models experienced. It's arguable that not turning on the spot isn't just because of the realities of filming a museum piece, but is actually accurate to how a Tiger with a worn-out gearbox, suspension, and/or treads might be driven.
@@Sc0urgeAce this tiger had a later model engine in it. There is a doc on youtube about this particuler tank
They could have used some "movie magic" to pan around the tank with the camera towards the sky to give the illusion of the tank turning, then just move the tank to the correct direction when you cut back. But that would take work and brain power. That's something you don't usually see in Hollywood.
I got probably the funniest ad placement watching this clip. At about the 5:40 mark immediately after the German tank commander got machine gunned and fell back into the turret of his tank, a short 5 second Coors ad came up showing a guy cracking open a cold beer smiling and relaxing on a hammock.
I like the german commanders voice!
That makes the tank even more terrifying
Same!
The shock, awe and fear of the crews when they realize it’s a tiger says it all. Even such experienced tanker crews feared facing a tiger tank and rightfully so
Actually, Tigers didn't have any effect on the war other than morale boosting and wasting German resources. It's transmission would inevitably break after a couple hundred kilometers or so I think, which is was below the average tank of the time. Besides the poor transmission, they were produced in such small numbers that even if they were great tanks, the Germans would still have lost
@@tristandaries1129 It was a vehicle wich is very likely to break down etc. But still Tiger 1/2 managed to get a Kill Ratio of 1:10. 10 Enemy Tanks for every Tiger destroyed by Enemy fire. If you also consider losses due lack of fuel and mechanical breakdown the ratio was 1:5 . 20.000 Enemy Tanks knocked out didn't had an effect because the allied had combined 150000 of them.
@@marcusstrobl8316actually the allies counted downed a downed tank as one that was momentarily taken out of service while Germans only counted it when the tank was permanently taken out of service
@@tristandaries1129 No they did have an impact, both Tiger 1 and 2 are credited with destroying (at least) 10,300 enemy tanks, and 11,380 AT guns and artillery pieces in WW2. The Allies took the Tiger very seriously, devoting considerable time to tracking their movements.

2:16 Great acting from Logan Lerman. Loved Norman's shocked reaction when he sees the massive, seemingly impenetrable Tiger taking no damage from shots fired at it.

I might be misremembering but I think everyone agreed (Allies and Axis) that 1 Tiger was equal of 10 Shermans, so the United States made sure to bring 11 Shermans to every encounter hah. But It's also sort of a myth as well so it might be untrue as well but its interesting anyways.

Since this scene takes place at the END of the war, the german tank was probably crewed by a bunch of half-trained teenagers by this point. In my own head, that is how I justify this tiger crew's relatively poor performance.
@@russellkane232 Lot more realistic approach, but I still favor mine because it's that ridiculous.
I read online, so it's true, a quote from a German tank commander, "our tanks are worth 4 of theirs, but they always had five." Even if no one said that it's pretty historically accurate. The tiger was a solo beast of deviating power but confined to a wheelchair. The Sherman packed a lighter punch but was lighter, faster and hunted in packs.
A spider can kill and eat several ants at once, but if there are enough ants, the ants will eat the spider. Yeah the tigers absolutely crushed the allied tanks in any direct combat, but the allies had an endless supply of cheap mass produced crap tanks to swarm the Germans with.
This scene is wrong on many many many levels, and the tiger should have easily killed all 4 shermans. The germans would never have advanced like they did, as the tiger's main advantage was range and armor. At distance there was absolutely nothing a sherman could do to even dent a tiger, while a tiger could easily kill them at leisure. (I recall a story of a german tiger being hit literally hundreds of times, and while no longer being mobile, was still able to keep firing.
Well not to the extent you’d think, the fury’s 76mm could and would effectively penetrate the front of a tiger (search up Sherman easy-8) to an extent where German tank commanders would prioritize downing the 76mm tanks as the other 75mm Shermans needed to get far closer. But there’d have not been any drama if this battle was realistic, as that tiger wouldn’t have moved from it’s initial position at all. That quote however, became less and less of a reality as the war progressed is the point I’m making, is2s and Sherman fireflies gave tigers a run for their money.

The sheer amount of relief on their faces when they called out “tank destroyed” was really spine chilling
It’s obvious the tactics here were BS, but it’s still a damn enjoyable scene.
Finally someone who is a history nerd and understands that it's all just a movie
Yes. The advancing tiger with greater range makes no sense whatsoever but I get the need for drama, I guess.
What choice do they have? The Shermans were designed to be lightweight and faster than German tanks, and the Tiger has them pinned by the woods so the only way the Sherman can beat it is by speeding around the behind where the armor is the weakest. Better take the chances with attacking than waiting and shit.
@@LuuLancelot the long 76mm gun of the FURY could punch though the front armor of the tiger. the panther would have been more scary
This whole movie is bs, but it is enjoyable movie.
With all if the inaccuracies in this scene, it still shows very well how absolutely horrifying it was to have to battle a tiger in a Sherman. You can scoff at the issues with realism all day long but it leaves the same result anyway. It shows why you don't ever want to find yourself in that situation and makes you glad you never will. Hats off to this film and I gotta give it to Ayer for using tiger 131 for this scene which is the only time a real tiger tank was used in film
In reality I would guess the Tiger would have loosely followed the fleeing Shermans or kept its distance if they advanced toward it, either way allowing for a safe distance to be oblivious to return fire while still being able to destroy the Shermans. That thought of not really seeing the enemy but knowing it has your number somewhere off the in the distance is horrifying. It would cause a sane man to flee the large target and start digging holes in the forest to start a new life.
@@Magneticitist At the range this fight occurred all of the tanks including the Tiger were glass cannons. Even the 75mm guns on the standard M4 Sherman's in this formation could penetrate the frontal armor of the Tiger. Most certainly Fury with the 76mm main gun.
In the engagement IN REAL LIFE that killed German Tank Ace Michael Wittman. 3 Shermans ( a formation just like this one which included one firefly and two base M4 Shermans) defeated 3 Tigers at close range (but still further range than this scene) without suffering a single loss.
The most unrealistic thing about this scene is how daunting they make the Tiger. At this range, the tiger has lost all of its advantages and the Sherman being quicker and more maneuverable was actually the superior tank. Where the Tiger was a BEAST was at the extent of it's effective range. Where it could accurately and effectively engage targets, but any return fire would be ineffective. In the scenario here in Fury, it's armor was irrelevant. It was too close.
I think pitts tank was a Jumbo Sherman, No?
An Easy Eight
Bro even a 75 Sherman found why's to counter the tiger like firing smoke shells at it forcing the tiger crew to abounded there tank
2:28 I can't even imagine being the rest of the crew in the tank of the guy who's whole upper body just disappeared. Just seeing a bloody stump of a body slump down into the turret and knowing the next shell is coming to take you out. That would be a terrible final few moments
There is a book called "Spearhead" that is about a Sherman tank gunner's experience in WW2 (highly recommended book). Something similar to what you described actually happened (that I won't spoil). It was very shocking to read about.
Imagine what it was like to clean out the tanks

@@tutupa2212 i can't see anyone do a better movie
@@malachiomeletoe4320 we all love the drama and theatrics and it's a quality movie but obviously not realistic
The reason it is one of my favorite films is the character interactions. Those feelings, conversations, and reactions are insanely accurate. I've literally had those conversations with my truck commanders and squad leaders. It's based on a collection of stories from different units. Just like video games magically have you participate in every famous battle in WWII, this puts Fury into all the legends of the Western Front. I'd say it is really inaccurate, but not unrealistic
Tiger great tank
3:12 that "fire!" shook my soul, and it got worse when the shell didn't pen
I gotta say, that tank commander getting his head just absolutely deleted has got to be one of the most brutal deaths in any war movie ever made.
It happened way more often than you think
It was a quick death pretty sure he didn't see it coming.
And the least painful.
Im pretty sure he wouldnt feel any pain, tho its gruesome
@@salamander337 I’d say for life half a second he just felt an 88mm AP shell go straight through his neck so

An SS Tiger Tank wipes out the entire platoon except Fury, who was able to successfully destroy the Tiger by taking hits on its plot armour

@Giovanni Martinezif the tiger hit the lead tank you wouldn't be typing this right now..
@@thegermanfool8953 they think numbers matter the most while not caring about the physics of this stuff. The weather, speed, curve... Hell, even the material of the impact zone dictates the damage that will be done.
But yeah, the Tiger would've blown the shit out of FURY if this wasn't a movie
@@linkcorriere846 yep
@Giovanni Martinez If that would have been real the leading Sherman would have been the first target then the last one creating a sort of barricade the tanks in the middle can't overcome. This was a common German ambush tactic since they simply didn't have the numbers to fight against the sheer mass of the Allied forces. Then again the Us don't have Air power in the movie so an advantage for the Germans maybe?
The accuracy of this scene doesn’t matter, it is insanely intense how both are jockeying for position.
I think it was pretty accurate overall. When two tank units met, there are three outcomes:
a) It is a seal clubbing for your side. While preventing the enemy from making it to c.
b) You can drag the enemy into allied AT guns or Rockets
c) You somehow have to hit their weak armor - no mater the losses - to not have your unit totally wiped out.
A Sherman group fighting a Tiger frontally? It is a seal clubbing for the Tiger
A Sherman group charging forward, flanking so at least one can hit the side or aft armor? That is the only chance the sherman has to survive. They were supported by the rather low range here. A Tiger had a effective gunrange of up to 2km. 500-700 meters is a dagerously short distance for any lone tank
@@christopherg2347 this knowledge has actually changed my playstyle in games like Warthunder and world of tanks where, while not entirely accurate, the Tigers do a lot better at range than up close.
@@inquisitorbacon8170 that comes... do you know what kind of gun they put on the tiger😜
@@Kelvinpierre99 lol a nice BFG
@@christopherg2347the front tank, also known as Fury, had the 76mm, and all the others had 75, Fury was also at the front of the convoy so it would probably be the first target, also, the Tiger had good cover and position, so there wasn’t really reason to move, and finally, most tank commanders would have an easier and more accurate shot if they were to stop before firing
*At the start*
German officer: fire
German tank crewman: yes sir
*At the end*
German officer: fire
German crewman: huh? What do fire mean?
Lol
It was because he didn't have the shot but still hilarious comment 😂
Maybe they ran out of ammo, German tiger tanks were known to run out of ammo quick
@@charles5895 You dont attack 4 tanks when you are on low ammo. So, no. The reason for not shooting isnt about ammo.
I think the gun jammed, its what really happened to most real Tiger tanks.
@@saplkereviz6824 or the movie was written by Americans. That’s my take
The thing that gives me chills in this scene is how they portrayed the whistling of the APCBC rounds coming from the tiger
I don't care its not 100% accurate I love this scene
It's not even 40% accurate may as well be a fucking fantasy film

@@harrystoneman8316 gonna cry? piss your pants
They had several men who served in tank. Regimen who told there stories for the first time since the war it was said they all cried when it was over
@@dennybarlau8065 Well, we just saw a Tiger move out of perfectly good cover, and charge alone, against a tank platoon that had very little chance of ever penetrating his frontal armor, which conveniently led to a Sherman having a chance to hit his side and rear.
If this was anywhere near close to realistic, the Tiger would be reversing instead to keep distance.
And when they got in that close, the Tiger would have traversed around his hull to turn its turret quicker and keep his frontal armor at the Sherman instead of continuing to reverse/advance..
And to be fair, at that close distance of less than a hundred meters the Sherman should have been more than able to penetrate the flat frontal armor of the Tiger, instead of keeping on trying to get behind it...

That's right. Facts snd historical accuracy mean squat to you soy milk millenials. How you "FEEL" is all that matters. Go have a good blub in your cry closet.
@@PanzermansBunker O.K. BOOMER!!!!
@@doublep1980 Yeah but historical accuracy is important. Like for instance in real life the Tiger would've hit Fury (which was at the front) to stop the convoy, then shoot the rear tank next and finally pick off the middle tanks. Or the fact that the Tiger commander would've never moved from his position in real life because why would he? He had a perfect ambush position where the Shermans couldn't see the Tiger. Or that the Fury tanks real life counterpart was a M4 Sherman Firefly VC, which was outfitted with a 76.2mm British heavy pounder and used APCBC (Armour Piercing, Capped, Balistic Capped) and APDS (Armour Piercing, Discarding Sabot) shells. It was also the only British tank that could reliably penetrate Panther and Tiger tanks in their frontal armour from a distance of 550 meters. By the way, I'm only using facts stated by historians and a tank veteran themselves, not making all of this up. Even the director of the film stated quote "In WW2, this battle would've ended with the Tiger killing the shermans". If you are into tanks and history then that kinda ruins the immersion in this film. But hey, It's hollywood so atleast the director made a decent and entertaining film. Keep enjoying it and have a nice day.

Fun fact: tiger commanders would never drive out in open and drive head on like that
The sherman used smoke to cover their ass...
If tiger not move forward and killed them one by one they will be dead when 3 sherman shoot their ass in close range...
@@franssinurat9696 Tiger also couldve droven Backwards going away from the smoke or atleast Go out in the Open a little Bit enough to see the shermans
@@franssinurat9696 they would have stopped out of the smoke
@@franssinurat9696 they had a good position. Moving foward puts them at more risk then the shermans
It's all for extra movie drama. The tiger had a massive advantage where it was, and moving forward would be pointless. That being said, the Sherman firefly also had a gun that could kill the tiger at range, so it having to get closer was also just for the sake of drama. Not to mention that the tiger commander would have likely spotted that longer barrel and shot the firefly first.
The tigers turret was driven by a hydraulic motor that was connected to the engine by a drive shaft
The speed of the turret was dependent on the engine RPM
So when fury closed and got closer it caused the tiger turret to slow down giving them the advantage
Except that both the Tiger and Fury could and would have killed each other long before they got anywhere near that close…
@@bkjeong4302 thank you. Exactly. Fury had a 76mm gun more than capable of penetrating the Tiger without getting behind it.
@@Creditwashere negative. The 76mm gun was more than capable of penetrating a Tiger's armor at that range. The other 75mm guns needed that flank.
Just another reason why that Tiger would have targeted Fury immediately. An experienced TC (which he obviously was having an Early Tiger 134 alive so late in the war and being a Tiger Ace) would have identified this before the first shot was even fired.
@@Creditwashere no, fury's long 76 can basically slice through anywhere on the front of the tiger.
