I mean... you don't really need to pick on their tank battle tactics. The final scene was at least 5 times more ludicrous. "I'll just stand up on top of this tank and none of the hundreds of Nazis will be able to hit me for at least 5 minutes". Ok.

I thought it was a decent film until they massively jumped the shark in the last scene. Someone needs to do a "sane edit", then you can complain about the tactical accuracy.

You haven't heard of Audie Murphy yet, have you?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audie_Murphy

>> Murphy mounted the abandoned, burning tank destroyer and began firing its .50 caliber machine gun at the advancing Germans, killing a squad crawling through a ditch towards him. For an hour, Murphy stood on the flaming tank destroyer returning German fire from foot soldiers and advancing tanks, killing or wounding 50 Germans.

Right, "their 2nd most laughable one". "Heroically mow down waves of made-inept SS" is and will stay obviously number one. Can't praise vintage ("Liberation") and current ("Pavlov's 28") Russian WW2 movies enough, while the later ones do have their holes ('inept German conscripts"), at least the props are always alright, acting is top.
