Armor officer and military tank historian Nicholas Moran rates eight tank battles in movies, such as “Saving Private Ryan” and “Fury,” for realism.
Moran breaks down the accuracy of World War II tank history and battle tactics in “Kelly’s Heroes” (1970), “Saving Private Ryan” (1998), and “Fury” (2014). He looks at the realism of features and capabilities of tanks used in “GoldenEye” (1995), “Fast & Furious 6” (2013), and “Batman Begins” (2005). He also breaks down the development of tanks from World War I to modern times in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” (1989) and “Courage Under Fire” (1996).
Moran is an armor officer on M1 Abrams tanks and M3 Bradleys, with combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is the in-house historian for the online game “World of Tanks,” and he has a YouTube channel covering armored history.

10.08.2022Wait, what?! How can you name "The Beast" in your top three and not rate it? Argh!
I love that movie, was hoping to see it reviewed here.
Apollo Mars
10.08.2022this tank "expert" is from World of Tanks, who was heavily involved in the movie "Fury". The judgment of this scene was unrealistic positive for marketing reasons.

10.08.20221/10 didn't cover the flying tank scene from A-Team.

10.08.2022can someone tell me this guys accent ? irish ?

10.08.2022Something stupid, Hollywood style, the author ignored here: no sane, decent german tank commander will charge and close the distance to a murican Sherman, aka Ronson lighter – that will invalidate the main strenght of the german tank lol – the much better gun ! The german tank will stay at distance, even reverse as the Sherman charge, and will pick them one by one, easily. Only an idiot will close distance – but that is exactly what the Hollywood scriptwriter did.
Friendly Raid
10.08.2022Fury was a stupid movie.

10.08.2022I have been in a ride a long in a Fennek. Damn those things are beasts.

10.08.2022Who cares its fiction. If you want reality go watch war footage from Ukraine. This guy just want a job as adviser the next time. Same with space, if you want perfect reality go watch a SpaceX launch. I am not saying B-movie special effects are needed, but most films suffer from hyper realism. Looking at a perfect rendered sequence that adds nothing to a story is just wasted money and time. I want to drown myself in another world when I see a movie, I dont want to worry if its realistic or not. Its fiction.
Anivicuno
10.08.2022Reminder that this man helped bring us an anime with lovingly rendered 3D tanks, driving around like it's initial D.

10.08.2022Horrible accent
Shu Pichii
07.08.2022If you have never seen it and like mil flicks, "The Beast" is very much worth the watch. ITs not what youd expect from a war movie and the plot is quite unique.
iBhaca Beats
07.08.2022In the comments we will still have people who mock Bollywood stunts but praise Hollywood stunts. Hollywood stunts that defy laws of physics every time. Hollywood cars have airplane shock absorbers. A tank that has rubber grip while on chains ?
Luisin88
07.08.2022From my experience, it is very dangerous to commit tanks into fighting inside towns and cities.
GradeY underY
07.08.2022"auftragstaktik" , well, that pretty much made the whole video useless since i had to question everything he said. lets say you have a mg positioned and concealed and wait for the enemy, now the enemy is in range and you just pick up the mg and charge the enemy because "auftragstaktik" ????? makes no sense.
Alexandros Mograine
07.08.2022Reviews tank battles and you included fast and furious? Really?
The ObnoxiouslyCharming
07.08.20229:34 "all you can be is faster than it"
we got the right family for that in this clip lol
Meester_James
07.08.2022Should have done T-34. Maybe one of the best Tank movies. I would love to hear his thoughts on that one!
Fischersnet
07.08.2022Nicholas Moran looks like a mix of Jake Gylenhaal, Ryan Gosling and Woody Haralson, whats going on 😀
EVCarGuy
07.08.2022TOO MANY ADVERTISEMENTS in this short video! I lost interest at the half way mark with 4 interruptions. PASS.

05.08.2022Hey, it's the Chieftain!
I can almost see how that big window on the Fast & Furious tank happened.
"There is so much going on, the driver will have to lok out of the hatch for the shooting."
"No, no! That will make the tank look less impressive. The driver has to be hidden."
"You seem to assume that this is a negotiation. I will not stand for one of my men running someone over on the film set."
"I have an idea for a compromise…"

05.08.2022From the thumbnail, I was confused how Jon Stewart was a tank expert

05.08.2022I love TANK GIRL.

05.08.2022B-buuuut GTA taught me the main cannon on a tank is indistinguishable from a "turbo button". Just aim backwards and you'll go so much faster…
Meta
05.08.2022This was so interesting, it was worth the ads every 20 seconds.
Sandro Abashvili
05.08.2022Bro keep up the good work cause I love tanks and now I learned more and the second tank tiger is my fav but it's slow but strong as f
Plasmachasm
05.08.2022I am absolutely stoked that he did give The Beast a mention at the end, if you haven't seen it do so immediately , it is an absolutely astounding film.
ceroVK
05.08.2022Wot has ruined my mind I keep expecting the tracks to be invulnerable and will self repair every 6 seconds but nah in the battlefield once their damaged it’s gonna take real time to repair them.
Crazysarge
05.08.2022Chieftain is the best
Lorensius Teguh Kurniawan
05.08.2022I am happy to listen this Iraq veteran man about tank. of course, after watching this, WOTB is a joke 🤭🤭
William Bodin
04.08.2022"Every tanker I know wants to be Oddball…secretly." Word. Well Naval Special Boat guys have him in the backs of their minds too. (At least, this one did.) "Oh man, I only ride in 'em, I don't know what makes 'em work." Priceless.
Jerome Dingle
04.08.2022Weren't the tanks used in courage under fire the K1 aka the Korean version of the M1? they look identical to the ones used in the movie as they are much smaller than the real M1s and Chieftain.
Boesergolf
04.08.2022with the declining playerbase it should be called world of bots now 🤣
Hand Banana is Therapist
04.08.2022fast and furious… really?
Hans Brackhaus
04.08.2022The most unrealistic aspect about any of this is the nazis being inept.
Well, maybe they were really that inept, but …that makes anyone killed by them even more inept than them.
RazgrizWing
04.08.2022Chieftain forgot to mention that in the Fury scene that how the Tiger engaged the convoy is not accurate. You are supposed to engage the first tank in the convoy, and then the last tank. Then you mop up those in the middle of those two now disabled/destroyed tanks.
Duke Cannon
04.08.2022Question for tanker (I'm/was an engineer) what is your opinion of auto loaders vs sweat and tears?
Paul Sto
04.08.2022Woof Woof!

03.08.2022well yeah of course he's a military tank expert. he's not Hank Hill selling you propane and propane accessories.

03.08.2022I did read of a British tank in WW2, a Churchill I seem to remember, which went through a building only to find it had a basement. They required the assistance of the engineers to remove it.
