Nerdy facts that somebody may like; At 0:40 the metallic switch on the left is for graticule illumination in the main telescope (on the right). It rotates fully, on-off-on-off. At the moment it's "off". I doubt that the Tank Museum have the relevant lamp installed. To the left of the metallic switch you can just about see a rectangular switch. This one determines whether the main gun's firing circuit is powered by the main batteries, or the backup battery on that same circuit board. The grey box below the metallic switch is a socket box. The gunner (Olly) is supposed to plug his headphones and microphones into it. The item behind Olly's head is a window. The number "8" on it is part of the checklist for sealing the turret for full submersion of the vehicle. The window is sealed by tightening up two little wheels, one of which is visible. There is a metal frame surrounding the entire front wall of the turret. A rubber strip is embedded it it. It is obviously item 2 on the submersion checklist, and you're supposed to clamp it to the front wall, closing off the gap there.
I'd say they are tied on visual effects, but definitely much better writing than Hollywood. You can tell this one wasn't written by an 8 year old with an obsessive political agenda.

When I was in england I really wanted to visit the museum but unfortunately I couldn't go but sadly it wasn't close to our planned route. I'm happy to see them be used in these videos so I can see what I unfortunately had to miss
The MG34 was indeed a wonder weapon being chambered for the full-power 7.92×57mm Mauser rifle cartridge, and was arguably the most advanced machine gun in the world at the time of its deployment.[10] Developed to provide portable light and medium machine gun infantry cover, anti-aircraft coverage, and even sniping ability. Its combination of exceptional mobility - being light enough to be carried by one man - and high rate of fire (of up to 900 rounds per minute) was unmatched ... oh, it's out of ammo! 😥
he says MG42. the Mg 34, as you wrote, existed in different versions. the one most used in WW2 had a rate of fire of 1200 rounds per minute. don't use Warthunder as a reference point.
I get how Fury was trying to get a vibe of tank warfare rather than factual depiction, but let's be honest; at the ranges in the film, even the 75mm AP round would've been giving the Tiger a "significant emotional event" at the ranges they were parked at in the film. The 76mm was well within "ruin your day" range consequently. But then again, the most realistic depiction would be the crew seeing a Tiger, getting a bit panicked, shooting it, blowing it to kingdom come and then realizing it was actually a Panzer IV.
Actually, the 76mm M1 wouldn't have done much at all on a frontal hit at 800 yards. It was only a slightly improved 75mm round with a bit more propellant. Not in the class of the soviet 85mm or brit 17lbr (which had near twice as much propellant as the 76mm M1 cartridge).

Incidentally, truly get video. Not only is it well produced, its also funny and as far as I can tell, accurate. Well done there!
"God for all the shit they done, their uniforms are fucking great!!!" 🤣
7:52 - They used MG 34's in tanks. The reason is the barrel. The MG-34's barrel could be pulled out from the back. The MG-42 had a sideways barrel quick release system.
if they used them in tanks....oh lord lol
42s barrels were also extremely prone to overheat due to their firerate . Mg42 wehrmacht gunners had to carry spare barrels with them.
If i had a nickel every time Squire uploaded a video while I was at universal studios, I would have 2 nickel. Its not much, but its weird it happened twice
"Actually, I don't know why we're here without support."
Every German watching the movie.
I just spat beer on my phone laughing , 'for all the shit they done , there uniforms look great ' gold as always , even if you hate the Bolton Paul defiant
getting LazerPig to voice the RAF pilots was the Cherry on top for me
great job
Thank you, Squire. I always look forward to seeing your work.
Far better than Hollywood.
I can't imagine what you could do with a real Hollywood budget. I see something along the lines of Saving Private Ryan meets Black Adder.
So more like Kelly's Heroes with slightly more drama and a few more British accents then?
@@josephahner3031 I would watch that. Then buy the DVD and watch it again!
Yes, this should happen. What a cunning plan
If Wardaddy was a good tank commander
Edit: That 76 M4A1 had the chance to shoot again, not to mention he was already at range to kill the tiger
Wow, you guys actually managed to get the set of Red Dead Redemption 2 for the Guns Up advert! Must have drove the production costs up by an absolute fortune.
Love this chapter . Thans Squire and team.
I remember thinking “WTF?” When the Tiger charged.
I remember thinking it made sense because when you have smoke in your face it gives the enemies a chance to flee or flank you.
@@KillerT-Bone smoke works both ways. I would have killed as many as I could from concealment, and then backed out and lived to fight another day.
@@Abbeville_Kid and while you're sitting in the smoke, the Shermans flee, then give your position out to Allied aircraft, the next minute your tank is strafed by P-47s.
@@KillerT-Bone bring it on.
@@Abbeville_Kid so you would of just run because you can't see the enemy from inside smoke
I’m so glad squire didn’t miss a single thing like how in the movie they killed the middle tank first
1 tip with the beret, the cap badge is meant to be on the left side of the face (about above the left eye), its meant to be 1-2 fingers width above the eyebrows and not pulled down the back of your head - just sitting on top, and the right side is curved down.
never confuse a good story with facts.
In actuality the Tiger's armor could be penned from the front by the Sherman's guns at the distances involved, there was basically no reason for the Shermans to charge the Tiger like that.

One of my fav documentary channels!
Glad you guys showed up in my feed!
Hilarious!
Another great vid, keep 'em coming!
Thank you! I don't know how many times people forget how important tea is after a battle, shesh!
absolutely, the dunkirk 'evacuation' was only because some fool forgot the tea!
How the hell does Squire keep using the same movie scene and still make content that keeps getting better.
Firefly Commander: "Penetrate that Tiger in the rear!"
Tiger tank commander: "Oh you are awful, *slaps firefly commander* but I like you."
this is the comment I was looking for
No different than HRP making parodies for 14 yrs
This channel has become a thing of beauty and I love it

"That's seven tanks destroyed! Back to base!" I woke up my upstairs neighbor laughing at that.
Special guest cameo by Lazerpig as the RAF pilot, spot on chaps.
"Wuush...wuush...badadadadada" 🤣
The jolly good Firefly wins the day
I can't believe you made this! I'm literally shaking and crying!
So the Tiger has an Otto-loader? 😂
First time I've ever seen video by you. I needed a good laugh lately and you sir greatly accomplished that, I will definitely be binging the rest. Keep up the absolute fantastic content.
Wow! That cardboard Tiger looks almost real!
Well...
Better Graphic’s Card.
The Tiger being alone isn’t very unrealistic
Broken down unit structures and contextually sized patrolled
It’s only uncommon to find one or two tank sized units
Don’t know why people keep citing that
Damn the loader deserves an oscar
Mans walked up to a cartoon tank and the tank talked back with an echo 🤣🤣🤣🤣. God I love their videos!!
Squire, how does it feel to know yours is one of only three known films to use an actual Tiger?
'I was first out of the Academy... before it was bombed!'
Classic! This is funnier than a lot of comedies I've seen lately! (Yeah, Fired on Mars, I'm looking at you!)
*laughs in Sherman firefly*
*Laughs in tiger engine issues
*Laughs in tiger transmission issues
*Laughs is tiger suspension issues
*Laughs in Americas modern MBT having a German main gun*
They _are_ just better at this kind of stuff.
Dam I love the tiger
By God the sheer volume of references that don't even get a wink or a nod, they're just there, is awesome
4:04 should've stayed in dresden then 😅
The Firefly at the end killed me 🤣😂🤣
This realistic version of Fury was so unrealistic, that it boggled my mind... had a laugh. Good job.
I swear, you are the only person who can make sponsorships funny
- Ah, just like 1940 isn't it?
- Uh? This is nothing like school.
XD
0:20 is that the Battle Islands artillery sound?
6:53 I agree about the german uniforms
Great scene! This is exactly how Furs should have ended. Thank you very much for making this.
In a realistic battle the tiger would have destroyed all the tanks
At least in this version the local french farming community fence is safe
