And that German soldier who missed with the anti-tank rocket? The German Tiger tank shoots the last tank in the column when he should have taken out the first one then the last one (all according to the guys watching it with me) trapping the tanks in the middle and picked off one at a time - and since Fury should have been the one taken out first it would have been end of film and roll credits thus saving a bunch of money and wasted time.
True. The basic Sherman model was no match for a Tiger. In a group four or five or more Sherman’s could out flank a Tiger and score disabling shots to the sides and rear but at least two of the Shermans would have been picked off.
Shermans armed with the 76 mm would have been the first tank any German tank crew would have dealt with first.
The one deciding factor in almost any duel between a Tiger tank or a Panther Mk 5 and a Sherman would have been range.
The Tiger had it and the Sherman didn’t. The Tiger could have picked all of those tanks off from a mile out. The Sherman would have had to get within 700 yards with it’s low velocity 75mm in order to score a disabling hit.
