[@markwoods3689]

what gets me about this scene is that the Germans are in a prepared, concealed position with several slow moving targets coming straight towards them and they miss most of their shots and the guy with the panzerfaust just waits when he is clearly in range. Suspension of disbelief!

[@benthelearner6104]

Exactly I was thinking the same thing... How could they missed...

[@mrtrek64]

Those guns were anti-aircraft being used for a different purpose. I would imagine it's quite difficult to get one of those aimed properly at a fast-moving tiny target. A Sherman tank must look like a dot at 300 yards so it doesn't surprise me their shots missed.

At that time in the war in 1945, the remaining Wehrmacht was mostly made of whoever wasn't good enough to participate in Operation Barbarossa, essentially a militia made of draftees headed by veterans made officers. Germany had thrown millions of troops into Russia to get turned into ground meat. You'd find veteran troops on the western front, but the average German soldier by that point was the shaky librarian thrown on the front, or a literal boy. That guy with the panzerfaust was probably just as paralyzed as the A. Gunner character Machine in the movie. Not everyone is prepared for war just because you gave them a weapon and a helmet.

The weapon was effective against almost every Allied tank until the end of the war, only struggling to penetrate heavier vehicles like the Russian IS tanks, the American M4A3E2 Sherman 'Jumbo' assault tank and M26 Pershing[a], and later variants of the British Churchill tank. The Pak 40 was much heavier than the Pak 38; its decreased mobility meant that it was difficult or even impossible to move without an artillery tractor on boggy ground.

The comments on this are interesting. They are mostly from people who are sitting in a warm chair looking at a war movie, saying how easy it would be to hit something. Remember, guys, a hell of a lot more ammo misses than ever hits anything (better in this day of drones and radar guided stuff, but even that misses at times). My dad once went deer hunting and, after daylight, decided he was ready to leave the woods, not having seen anything. He slid down off the big rock he had been lying on, having unloaded his lever action .30-.30. He came down face to face with a deer about 30 yards away, calmly looking at him. With shaking hands, he quickly reloaded the rifle(tube magazine, 5 rounds), cocked and fired. And again. And again. 5 times. The deer stood looking at him then slowly walked away. And it wasnt even shooting back. Trembling hands in the terror of combat only have to move a rifle or a gun a fraction of an inch at barrels' end to send the round flying feet above or below the target.

So they show it all at reduced scale, like models on a tabletop. If it were more "realistic," it would be too sprawling and confused. Anyhow, the Germans eventually get their licks in, so be patient.

With the work load almost so much it does make sense for some nations like if I remember it was either some british or russian tank crews where they have a dedicated radio operator whose only sole job and purpose is to man the radio, also back then since radio technology was still fairly new so often the radio would go off the frequency you were on so you had to adjust it often.

note, only 1 light machine gun firing.. straight. machineguns were almost NEVER placed in the center, they would be placed on the flanks. so they could criss cross fire. If you look at the german "Hedgerow defense" the US has to completely change their tactics for dealing with this. US lost 49 tanks and 800 men very quickly and by the end of the advance just 6 days later the US had lost 109 Shermans, and dozens of light tanks and tank destroyers.

That's how you say fire in German. "Feuer", pronounced similarly. English is a Germanic language and there are many cognates. "Feuer Frei" was a common command, literally translating to "fire freely" and corresponding to the English command "open fire" or "fire at will"

[@guardsmanom134]

As was "Loosch" pronounced 'loess'. The command for firing artillery and Panzerfaust, translating literally to "Loose". The British command for volley fire.

Out of all the things you could have criticized about this movie, you chose something that was true.

[@luispena5676]

@@matthewjones39 Hi there... My comment was obviously guided by sarcasm, that’s why I didn't want to mention the errors related to tracer rounds. I'll cite three factors concerning the German side: 1. It seems all available German anti-tank ammo were tracer rounds. Why? Because of the useless Germans constantly needed to correct their fire, no matter whether they revealed their positions. Didn't they have aiming optics, muzzle brakes, and stabilizers on the gun carriages? 2. The feeders of the machine guns usually put a tracer bullet for every four or five rounds. Although the visual effect is somewhat forgivable giving its high rate of fire, it's hard to believe the Germans wanted to reveal their incredibly exposed positions. 3. Finally, according to the movie, Germans had an abundance of standardized tracer ammunition with the same colour by 1945. However, by those days just a few army companies could barely be equipped correctly. Much of these rounds were usually taken from the enemy, so their tracer colours could vary significantly. How is possible that all those tracers really had the same beautiful green colour? Moreover, even the tracer ammo manufactured in Germany was not standardized, so their colours could vary as well. I apologize if my comment was not well received, my opinion about this movie is not the best. “Fury” wasted a great cast, budget, production, and precious resources (including the Tiger 1 from the Tank Museum in Bovington, which I had the opportunity to see), in a silly, absurd and very low-quality patriotic pamphlet.

[@markusg4744]

What I don't fully understand is that the German gun emplacements were able to shoot away vehicles moving across without any problem, but are not able to directly hit targets that were moving towards them. I seem to remember that these German weapons were equipped with Zeiss optics, which had impressive resolution, even for the time.

[@callaghandevYoutube]

I don't know how true this is. I think war is a confusing place, people miss because they are stressed, and because they don't want to blue on blue. But more than that gun shots are loud, like really loud.When you fire your gun it is loud even compared to all the gun fire going on around you. People in that moment of unimaginable stress don't want to make themselves a target,. Firing the loudest gun will certainly do that. For them, in that moment with all the adrenaline fucking with their brain, their own gun is the loudest gun, (its going off right next to their head). It's only when you start firing a number of shots that lose an ability to differentiate the sound of your gun and anyone else's, at which point believe me, you keep firing, at this point the reverse is true, and someone might need a physical prompt a push or a hard shove to stop firing. What there certainly isn't; is any empathy for anyone except your brothers around you. You might have before, you may even after. But in that moment, you are trying to survive, and keep those around you alive. It's true people often don't fire their gun, but its not because "they don't want to kill others". It's misguided lizard brain self preservation that kicks in. People only believe this compassionate view of others because it comforts them, its a world view that is more palatable than the alternative. Unfortunately its wrong.

[@billypribbo9668]

@@callaghandevKZbin You could probably argue that soldiers spend most of their time firing at thin air even with the assumption that all are happy to find a human target. I've never been in combat but I remember reading somewhere that most gunfire in war is intended to scare someone else with a gun into not firing at you, for long enough that you can move. If that's your goal, you don't have to worry too much about hitting a target, most people will duck at the sound of it.

[@callaghandevYoutube]

​@@billypribbo9668 They fire at the enemy, because they want the threat gone. The fire “into the air” thing, isn’t true. I can understand why someone might come to that conclusion. It does happen, when the personal threat is so miniscule or what you could be talking about is covering fire possibly? But in a firefight you fire in the direction of the enemy, and believe me they are hoping your bullets hit and stop the enemy for good. But also, think about it; Every bullet you fire decreases you’re ability to stop a new threat when it arrives. To waste them on the off chance you might “scare” an enemy would be negligent to your brothers besides you. I just think the way you are framing what you say is a very hard cope. You want people to behave in a certain way even in the worst conditions because it makes you feel better, but I am afraid it simply isn’t true. In those high tension moments, you really arnt doing an empathetic calculation about the enemies personal circumstances. You are simply responding to stimuli. It’s not even that you are thinking in terms of hatred towards the enemy, those emotions come after. In that moment, you just want the threat gone, and you don’t take chances with yourself or the men you are fighting with. It is neither good or bad, it is just human.

[@williambefort5327]

Read up on "marching fire" in Wikipedia. "The tactic of marching fire was praised by General George S. Patton for three reasons: friendly forces using the tactic continued to advance rather than get bogged down, the positive action of shooting provided self-confidence to the soldier, and the enemy's defensive fire was reduced in accuracy, volume and effectiveness. Patton recommended that the rifleman carrying "that magnificent weapon", the M1 Garand rifle, should fire his weapon every two or three paces, holding the weapon at his shoulder if desired, but a lower position between the belt and armpit was "just as effective". Patton advised his 81 mm mortar teams to stay in one place during the assault and apply steady fire, but his smaller 60 mm mortars should alternately fire and leapfrog forward. Light machine guns could be simultaneously carried and fired by one man while another man fed the ammo belt. Patton wrote that the main purpose of the tank was to attack infantry in defensive positions rather than other tanks. He instructed his tanks and other armored units to advance with marching fire in support of the infantry."

[@athentictide0186]

People saying this is unrealistic: remember you have to prep the panzerfaust which takes about 2 seconds and you have to aim it at a spot that will do damage to the tank keep in mind the tank is a moving target. If you notice at 5:07 he does not have the sight flipped up, meaning the warhead is not primed, when the perspective is switched you can see the sight now flipped up meaning it is primed. At that point he is now getting shot at with a .50 which human instinct will shy away from for survival, allowing him to not effectively aim. Also, this movie was loosely based on the story of Audie Murphy, so read up on that before you call anything unrealistic. TL;DR bro forgot to prime his launcher, the true story is way more unrealistic

[@johnwestervelt3293]

On top of that not everyone is built for war and able to process mentally what to do right on the spot. It takes a lot of mental preperation and fortitude to be a killing machine. People are still people. We get to sit back and watch from another perspective so of course we will make a better decision than someone in the shit.
