The tankers who rode in Shermans called them ‘Ronsons’ (after the lighter) because they caught fire so easily when going up against German tanks with 88 mm guns and high velocity long barrel 75s, the Panther.
American, British tankers: heroes; American actors: zeroes.
I’ll see it when it’s on Netflix.

No way I would pay whatever it is theaters want these days to wait through God knows how many minutes of BS preview and advertisements to get what you paid to see.
There was a time in my faded memory when previews were sort of fun. From what I gather, Hollywierd had screwed that up along with everything else.
There were at least 2 Sherman tanks getting ammo racked. The tank warfare scenes were very good and realistic about the Sherman vs Tiger combat.
Before there was “Fury” There was............. ODDBALL.
Just a hair split but the 88 MM most used wasn’t on a tank. It was an anti aircraft gun that was retasked as artillery and anti tank. Was butal.
