Tanks in the movies

[frinik]

Does anyone know the story on these "Tigers"?


Most likely converted Jugoslavian T54/55s since the film was shot there.

KV-2 , which is in fact JS-3 late with fake turret. Movie Tank "Klyment Voroshylov-2", 1990

[lockie]

Movie "Crew of Combat Machine", 1983

This is about T-34/85 vs Tiger. But personally I think `German` tank looks more to the Panther or TigerII. I think T-55 was took as a base.


Finally, soviet tank killed 6 "Tigers"(T-55)!

In France, there is a series titled "Tanks vs Tanks" whose title is "Greatest Tank Battle" beyond the Atlantic. I do not know if we can include it in the movies but it is a very interesting series of documentaries on all fronts of the Second World War told by tankers from that era.

There are some mistakes, unfortunately, the narrator confusing Jagdtiger with jagdpanzer ... Too bad ....

Here`s announcement about new movie "Fury" with Bred Pitt. ("Fury" the name of tank)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2713180/
April, 1945. A battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy commands a Sherman tank and her five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Wardaddy and his men face odds in their attempts to strike at Nazi Germany.
Suppose, this is M4A3-76


BTW
This is a good scenario for the mission with "Firefly" 

Maybe this picture is a M4A3E8. Because it uses a HVSS.

Thanks for the link! It is a good stuff!

"Hot snow", 1972, USSR

AT gun 76mm vs Tiger. There are many T-34/85, in spite it was November 1942. Tiger looks a very close to the original. Suppose, it's T-55.

And there is one SPG. Jagdpanther?

Maybe this picture is a M4A3E8. Because it uses a HVSS.

I think u're right!

Some tank model made ​​in China. Scale 1:1, All models are powered devices, can move by itself.

[бампер]

Very good models comrade! .

Movie "Liberation", 1970, USSR
Hitler disappointed that new tank `Tiger`(T-44?) was damaged by T-34/85. Events in the movie took place in 1943 before and during battle on Kursk salient.


Panther D


Churchill ?


According to the rumors a 100 tanks took part in the battle scenes of the movie.

[frinik]

T34/85 and JS at Kursk????Whatever happened to Socialist Realism....

Wow that Panther Ausf is a real ugly fake...A barely disguised Js-3 I guess hastily remodeled as a Panther...

"Cross of Iron"'s Sam Peckinpah 1977 movie

The film focuses on the class conflict between a newly arrived, aristocratic Prussian officer who covets winning the Iron Cross and a cynical, battle-hardened infantry NCO. The screenplay was based on the 1956 novel "The Willing Flesh" by Willi Heinrich, a fictional work that may be loosely based on the true story of Johann Schwerdfeger.



Ivan’s invited himself to lunch, and he’s brought his toys and lots of friends. T-34/85 posing a problem for lightly armed light infantry.

Stalingrad's Joseph Vilsmaier (1993)

Stalingrad is a 1993 war drama film directed by Joseph Vilsmaier. The movie follows a platoon of World War II German Army soldiers transferred to Russia, where they ultimately find themselves participants in the Battle of Stalingrad.

9th company has some nice tank scenes in training and convoys. Also, plenty of MI-24 porn, if your into helicopters. (seriously, the cinematographer had a disproportionate love for that thing.)

[frinik]

The problem with the T34/76 or t34/42 are that it's difficult to make replicas of them because their turrets and guns are smaller than the those of the T34/85 whereas the Tiger I, having a longer gun and much larger turret, is much easier to reproduce considering how many viable T34/85 and T54/55 are available for conversion.

What surprises me is the dearth of films about the Normandy campaign.So many films were made about the East front, the desert war, Italy and the Ardennes but except a couple about DDay and saving Private Ryan I can't recall any....

[33lima]

Can't find the scene showing the Guards Armoured's attack but there was plenty of British/US armour in 'A Bridge Too Far', even if all the Shermans were long-barrelled jobs (and the German tank later on was a Leo!).

It seems that the Fury (2014) movie to be published in 2014 with Brad Pitt see a real Tiger I in its action scenes.




Tiger 131 was borrowed from the Bovington Tank Museum for the film. It is the first time a genuine Tiger I tank was used in a contemporary war film.

M4A2


M26


SPG?

[norm]

Look like priests to me.
For 9th company, go to 34 min for a training sequence, and 1:35 for a convoy ambush.

'M26' is the later M47, as seen in the Battle of the Bulge movie, pretending to be King Tigers (they could have at least painted them in camouflage instead of grey, but instead they camouflage-painted the US tanks, M24s at that!). The only real tank I have ever been inside was the M47, in the form of two gutted ex-Belgian Army vehicles waiting to be towed out as hard targets onto the ranges at Otterburn, in 1976 or '77.

The Sherman has a cast, rounded hull, front and rear (there was a hybrid with cast front and welded rear hull) so is an M4A1.

My was T-72. Don't have idea abt modification. It was in 1983.
