"Fury" tank movie

[stormlion1]

USS Iowa's turret exploding, mostly smoke but more or less what I expect to see what happens when a armored vehicle takes a hit.

Another review, bringing up the harsh realities of warfare.

Good quote: “Henry Ford built the Sherman, Ferdinand Porsche built the Tiger,” the better-armored German tank, said Bill Block, a producer.

I play World of Tanks and the M4 was a miserable piece of crap until you get the Jumbo or the Easy 8. Still in World of Tanks you get to see what a Hellcat can do against an IS-3 or a T-34(85) and get into a love hate relationship with your team mates.

As someone who understands tank engagements, angling of armour, hull down positions, and such.

When I am in tank battles in War Thunder, I can tell people who have played WoT, as they seem to be utterly obsessed with just shooting my lower glacias plate, rather than a good kill area, or the old Russian tactic of ramming my tank.

And listening to friends a lot, it seems WoT is more "just hit it anywhere to knock down the tank" whereas in War Thunder you need to hit a good area, like the 88mm from a Konigstiger hitting the sweet side rear of the turret on an IS-2 at 700m, ammo rack shot.

WT:GF has a host of issues (Barrels, Tier IV/V MM), but I have a lot of fun in it. Look me up if you care to get a game in, Same name here, sans the space.

The Hellcat was fast but it's 76mm gun wasn't exceptional at the time. Now, the M-36 armed with a 90mm ...
