Can't remember a movie in recent history that actually did their best to be accurate in the vehicles, uniforms, weapons etc....You can never please the "Rivet Counters". I saw some guy on the net going on about the tanks being too close together..."highly in-accurate" Except it is a movie...not a course in Tactics at Fort Knox...Pretty hard to get all the tanks in the frame if you have them all spaced "tactically correct" ....and yes Fury was actually an M4A2 posing as M4A3...but who the hell cares? They could have used Chaffee's for Sherman's and M47 Patton's for Tigers...but they didn't...and do you think 99% of the world would have cared?...probably not...yet the MV community who should appreciate the effort that was taken for accuracy sake...picks the movie apart because we are smarter then the film makers...I have never been in combat so I can not speak to the accuracy of the action sequences...but they sure made an impression on me...and if a Canadian writer director wanted to make a movie about a Canadian tank crew...would we fault him for not including more Americans? And finally we are disappointed in the final battle because the Germans didn't kill everybody more efficiently? Let's try to remember it was a fictional movie made for our entertainment...not a documentary
