It is fucking Hollywood. It is entertaining and gritty and if you expected any more then you clearly don’t know the movie industry.

I think the movie was great.

edit: spelling

Retardo -_-

Is it realistic? I neither know nor care. My point of reference is documentaries on History Channel or BBC2 and it seemed close enough to me.

Take it for what it is and if you didn’t like it, move on.

“*sigh* After the sniper is disposed of by shelling the bulding”
Me: FUCK YOU GRAND-” *Blown up by 76mm tank shell*
Americans: FUCK YEA DIE FACIST! KILLING ALL THE JEWS AND CAUSING THE HOLOCAUST! FUCK YOU!

“where Fury is hit directly to the front at 20 meters by a German 75mm AT gun. Luckily, Fury’s armor is made of concetrated Freedomium and the shell does nothing.”
Well you never know us Americans. We used to be able to do miracles, like beat the British twice! Against all odds! BTW I don’t see any Freedomium on the periodic table ;)

“SS officer, who is promptly executed”
Hhahahah that ‘SS Officer’ was the one fucking HANGING THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN!

“Anyway, the Tiger is unhistorically buffed as well (the turret seems to rotate faster than it did in real life) and wrecks three of the Shermans”
Yeah well the Tiger only needs to turn his turret a few degrees at such a range. And I heard a few things such as “The Sherman burns bright” By a source or two.

“t’s Fury vs the Tiger. The Tiger fires like three shots I think – one bounces (!), one ricochets and the third gets apparently stopped by the – I shit you not – tree logs on the side of the Sherman. Stronk freedomium armor in action.”
Well you need to rewatch the whole fucking fight scene. Because One shot penetrates THROUGH THE LOGS and into the engine compartment, causing oil leakage. Steam coming from the leaking oil. How the other two bounces is beyond me. Though Freedomium may not be on the periodic table. Maybe it’s a special top-secret bio weapon that won the war!

“Norman somehow teleports back to Fury half an hour before the hard-marching Germans and warns them.”
Hey I wonder how he ‘teleported’? Maybe running really fast while they are walking somehow teleports people? Because running definetly doesn’t get you anywhere faster than walking!

“(of COURSE it has to be Waffen SS)”
Who else could it be?

“Basically, the crew takes a random dead German guy, sets him on fire and puts him on the front of the tank. Not sure why, because the tank sure looked crippled even without a burning body on the front hull, but who knows, maybe it was a ritual sacrifice or something.”
Tank looked fine to me. (EXCEPTION, BROKEN TRACK) random tank out in a crossroad looks suspicious enough. (WITHOUT SUPPORT, MORE SUSPICIOUS). I wish you could make the damn connection, German guy = dead crew member look-alike.

“Pitt has a StG 44, god knows where he gets ammo for it)”
I do vaugely remember a battle with lazer-wielding Germans. I wonder where he got the weapon or the ammo. Definetly not from the Lazer-wielding Germans!

“when you fight a tank with a main gun, naturally you hide in a building 20 meters from the tank, so it can knock it down on your head with a HE shell).”

Commander: HIDE IN DA HOUSE!
Officer: YEAH WE CAN’T JUST STAND HERE BEING SHOT AT! MAYBE THE SHERMAN IS OUTTA TANK SHELL AMMO? JUST MAYBE?

“Another really strange moment is the day/night switch. When the fight starts, it’s full daylight and the movie suddenly without any warning (or a cut or anything explaining it) switches and its full nightime”
They fought the Tiger in broad daylight, then Norman the noob goes out on patrol and takes a nice long nap (HOURS PASS BY) Norman comes back with news of 300 SS troops and it’s at dusk. They start fighting and dusk fades into nighttime.

“saying it’s the only Panzerfausts they have. So what the hell did happen to those guys walking with them earlier?”
Maybe walking with the Panzerfausts was a bad idea. So they put them in boxes.

“there is no jet of flame in the tank by the way, more like a… solid projectile punching a circular hole in his body. I have never seen what a HEAT round looks like inside of the tank, but… well, maybe it’s real.”
No clue on that one. Just plain weird.

“He has no cover and the area is still swarming with Germans, but he is immune to counterfire of course.”
He’s hiding behind the turret. and what about the Hollywood zombie brainless Germans? You know, the ones that stood in front of the tank?

“young Waffen SS officer, who doesn’t blow his cover and just lets him be, despite the Americans slaughtering a hundred or so of his buddies”
He knows Norman the noob isn’t a threat. Why kill him? Waste of ammo that’d be. And it’s not like that Waffen SS officer was at the battle at all. Not like he head about the loss.

Summary:
It’s a good movie with it’s ups and downs, pros and cons. But it’s being killed by it’s own popularity. EVERY SINGLE MISHAP IS BEING BLOWN UP LARGER THAN IT SHOULD BE LIKE I AM WITH THIS LONG ASS NOTE TO YOU!!!

Have a good day and I expect more news on the 9.5 firefly branch and the HAVOK physics!

“The movie starts with explaining to you, how much American tanks sucked compared to the German ones and how “terribly outmatched” were the Americans in armor. That of course is complete crap”
Americans WHERE TOTALLY OUTMATCHED ARMORWISE. Compare a Tiger vs a Sherman. (Later on you say “Oh how crap tiger bounces 3 shots off of sloped E8 armor.” (And one of the 3 shots DID penetrate and caused oil leakage.)

“This is where the “fun” starts. For one, the tracers in the movie look like fucking Star Wars blasts, especially the green German ones. In daylight. Tracers came in different colours, that’s fine, but they are too bright and to say it looks odd would be an understatement.”
That’s Hollywood stereotyping for you. Though they did look funny. I laughed on that part.

“Germans traditionally can’t really hit anything, they have a bunch of 75mm AT guns in the forest, which are firing all over the place, missing the slowly moving unobstructed tanks in the middle of an open field.”
Maybe they where shooting at the Americans HIDING BEHIND THE TANK. Or like you said. Missing because they know they’re screwed.

“Anyway, back to the movie. So naturally a tank platoon with Brad Pitt in charge steamrolls the laser-wielding Germans and saves the american troops”
Yay GJ Americans you did a good job. CRUSH DEM’ FACISTS

“Now, make no mistake – “no prisoners” situations happened in WW2 of course. But a cold-blooded POW execution?”
Remember kids! That mean German Nazi bully was trying to mow down your American buddies just a few minutes ago! (Though he’s a terrible shot)

“And I almost forgot, at one point the leading tank of the platoon is attacked by a HEAT round (probably Panzerfaust), wielded by the kid. The Sherman of course starts burning immediately, cooking the crew (Belton Cooper would be proud).”
Jeez no need to fire premium ammo ;)
Of course that what happens when your hit by a Panzerfaust! GOES THROUGH DA TANK’S ARMOR AND EXPLODES. DUR DUR.

“Pitt’s character speaks German for some reason (no story explanation given)”
Well Pitt must’ve been in Germany one time or another. The guy’s mysterious from the beginning to the end.

“Of course, you shoot the German grandpa.”
Well I’d be mad if I saw being pointed at by some civilian “Oh hey guys the Germanz be ovah dere dur dur dur.”
Me: “Aww shit.”
