- Been tossing this video idea around in my head for awhile and finally decided to try to explain my opinion on this. Obviously this could be a VERY controversial video but please remember this is my opinion and I BY NO MEANS think Fury is a bad movie.

To answer a few questions I'm sure quite a few people will ask before the fill the comments:
1) The background footage is from Girls und Panzer Dream Tank Match
2) I'm not an Uber fan of GuP I just appreciate what it does for the Tank community
3) The Cone standing in the corner is to hopefully prevent the automatic ID system to detect the small clips I used for reference since it IS fair use for this purpose but could still get flagged (fingers crossed)
Hopefully you guys enjoy this video and if you want to suggest movies for me to potentially make a video like this about in the future comment them below.
This is true in many ways
i don't get why people think it's fake, Tanks *_CAN DRIFT_* A'ight? it needs a PRO driver, but it's possible,
T-34 better than Girls und Panzer
I think the Russian film, T-34 shows that dynamic between the different crews in a few of the scenes, such as the opening tank battle and the latter one. Although the Germans aren’t always getting their forefront distinction, they show it nonetheless. Also a great film for CGI stuff as well. Looks really damn good
@@rebuffcard12 highly agreed mate I mean what shit gup Is when you got T-34 to watch
they show Ferdinand climbing a hill. Their imagination sure is high
Didn't it also get bogged down in the mud and explode?

I'm majoring as a history teacher (hoping to have my diploma next year) and I have been teaching high school kids and even some older ones for the last three years during internships. The hardest part is really to make it interesting for them. It doesn't take long for kids to question you why they are learning history and about dead people, like it doesn't matter to them.
One of the best moments I had was when I was teaching a class about the 2nd World War and I had brought a few items along to show them. The boys of course were interested in my M1905 bayonet (the long boi) that I brought with me, because it's a weapon. However before that class I came with the idea to buy a can of Fanta from the vending machine in the school. This was the item they were most interested in. Of course I asked them what they thought Fanta had to do with World War II. They partially got it right by saying it was something that existed during World War II and was drunken by soldiers. When I told them the story of how and why it was invented by Nazi-Germany, they got hooked into the story. It really shows that there is a certain connection you need to make between history and the current day, in this case a historical and current day every day object.
The best part came when at the end of class one student asked if he could have the can of Fanta. He asked it nicely so I gave it to him. While I was cleaning up the desk after class and students left the classroom I suddenly heard: "I GOT A CAN OF NAZI SODA!" From the hallway. It had me laughing and told me I did a good job.

3) Japanese tankers were all about the banzai charge.
Tiger I could go for far longer (ask Otto Carius). It was the Tiger II that had such problems, *and you DO learn in GuP that the broken steel roadwheel can be rolled uphill by a single ponytailed schoolgirl at running speed so they can get it repaired in five minutes.* ;-)

Which creates a domino effect
Rewatching GuP after you dig deep into tanks is hell of a trip.
One of the things not mentioned related to the accuracy of the tanks, probably due to Cone not being a megafan of GuP, is that Actas, the animation studio, worked with wargaming to produce the models. This is most apparent in der Film's credits, where wargaming has their own section of people.
No wonder it looks like a World of Tanks anime
😮
Yes and no. They only worked with WoT AFTER the initial anime had already been released. They collaborated on subsequent project namely Das Finale. But the initial anime was a independent and original(not adapted from a manga).

You actually could drift tank, but on ice and with modern tanks.
As a tanker, I was so excited when Fury came out. I was hoping for a movie the showed the struggles and comraderie of a tank crew. While it did that to an extent, I felt it spent far too much energy being gritty and edgy, especially with that shitty breakfast scene.
GuP on the other hand does a phenomenal job of showing this. You get a feeling that the not only are the individual crews a family, but the entire team is a family similar to a real tank platoon or company (at least the good ones). That's probably why I enjoy GuP so much. The history nerdism, and the feel good nature that reminds me of the good ol days.

Additionally, the crew positions are actually modelled as to how it would've been for the crew of the actual tanks. The best example os the M3 Lee, the Driver has to kind of lean to get a good view out of their viewing port. This was shown in the very first episode in the Ōarai vs St. Gloriana Exhibition Match, with the M3 Lee driver sitting not quite in-line with their viewing port.

I actually got into tanks because of GuP. I can attest to what you’ve said: I knew basically nothing about tanks other than that the Tiger, Sherman, and T-34 existed. As a result of making the specific machinery stand out (many films use tanks merely as a plot device for the characters instead of as a draw of their own), I became interested in the tanks they used rather than just the story they’re used to tell. And I’ve become really into these tanks since watching the show. Keep up the good work!

The thing about the tank drifting scene is that it is, in fact possible to drift a tank. Perhaps not a WW2 tank, but it is possible to do with an M1 Abrams on sandy or snowy terrain. There's a video of US Marines doing it in Norway somewhere around here.
There are any number of videos of (probably drunk) Russian tankers drifting T-72s and T-90s both on tank roads in their training grounds and on city streets (sometimes with impressive amounts of collateral damage as a result).
Im not gonna lie: back when I was still watching anime this was one of my favourite ones. And exactly as described with the Maus scene, the fascination and urge to find out more about this tank has somehow led me to start playing WoT and after some time of playing that game and having finished watching the anime, I basically became obsessed with tanks and WW2 in general lmao

Well, at least the Hetzer isn't bearing the _entire_ weight of the Maus. The Maus still has its rear end -with the turret above it- on the ground.
honestly I was incredibly impressed with the accuracy of the show. It's not the technical accuracies like the "tank drifting" that matter, it's the spirit of it. It's the fact that they play to the historic strengths and weaknesses of the tanks, such as the Churchill's heavy armour or the KV-2s tendency to tip over on a slope, and throughout their stories constantly pepper in tidbits about what life was really like for tankers.
Also the research and clear love for the topic that goes into it. Like, if they need a big boss enemy, they won't just make something up, they'll find a REAL tank that was rare or experimental, and if they need to, say, fill a characters room or a cafe with tank memorabilia, they'll go out of their way to make sure that everything relates to something real, like a copy of a real life Tamiya model kit, or a specific type of tank shell
Like that bit in the first movie where the T-28 superheavy shows up. That thing put up some stakes.
@@highjumpstudios2384 That's a great example. Not only is it a good use of a rare tank, but the tank has one of those great moments where it demonstrates the features of the real tank in a fun way when they detach the outer tracks

You are absolutely right. I have a degree in history and have always been fascinated by world war 2, but I've never really cared that much about the tanks... I'm an airplane and submarine guy... But this show is as fun as it is ridiculous in premise and it prompted me to start researching these vehicles and reading about the experiences of the guys that crewed them. It's pretty much my favorite anime these days.
There's also the fact that the series is a comedy, some of the more outlandish scenes are hilarious.
Not just comedy. The series is a sports anime about a fictional martial art, but the follow-up movie is a straight-up WUXIA MOVIE (with tank martial arts instead of swodplay!). With every Wuxia cliche turned to eleven. INCLUDING THE IMPOSSIBLE JUMPS. Meaning that the outlandish scenes are even GENRE-ACCURATE.
The anime sets in a perfect balance between fiction and realism
It pleases tank enthusiasts by having a large variety of tanks and it pleases anime fans with cute girls driving them.

I love the GuP. They did a great job of showing the human aspect of tank crew and love the tank design, how the use actually tank tactics, and how each school is model after each nation tank strategies.
No mate these tactics cant be realistic whatever they are. why? because tanks never actually fought each other on close range tank duels in real life was and is now shooting each other from around 1-2km tanks were used as infantry support almost all the time of course there were few tanks vs tank close encounters but it wasnt really common thing. not enough common to make tactics for it generals were trying to avoid tanks getting so close to each other. only in movies they show tanks shotting each other for such close range to make it more fun to watch
@@Soap.-- In GuP the schools are model after the nationals during WW2 and post WW2 and each school use the tactics that would be trained by that nations army during that time period. The average tank battle distance during WW2 was 750-900 yards with a mean of 840 yards. Engagement at ranges beyond 1300 m were uncommon. Do to tank guns design or to type of rounds designed by the national. Also environmental factors also plays a part too.
@@Soap.-- never fought close range? *T-34s ramming Tigers to shoot them point-blank in attempt to penetrate them intensifies*
@@coreyswint2785 that's still far distance the one u got in anime is like World of Tanks. That woud never happen
Except for the fact that they use blitzkrieg in an urban environment. I'm willing to bet even experienced tank crews dont want to do sharp turns and drifts in tight streets.
Um... "Kelly's Heroes" is the best live-action tank movie ever made.

The funny thing about gup is even with its inaccuracy's they are either small and dont matter that much like a name mistake, or its drifting a tank for shits and gigs. it still gets so much right, as a really cool guy put it its an anime for history buffs by history buffs
Not to mention the sound design is really good for a anime franchise, as its sometimes cut by using stock effects. Granted some are still used, but overall the original/close enough sounds are really good, like the the tracks, rounds bouncing, rounds hauling ass towards you. czcams.com/video/8JTVJJyeYh4/video.html (a good example)
Oh and the music is fucking amazing, especially in the movies. Shiro Hamaguchi put a lot of effort into making the songs feel full as possible, and even used some obscure songs from Italy and Japan (le fiamme nere, and March of Snow) which is nice to hear.

The thing I like about GUP when it comes to history and making someone get interested into it is the number of tank inventory.
Most movies just show one type of tank used unlike GUP and particularly the Saunders match, the firefly is shown to work as a team with the regular m4 tanks.

Me too. Absolutely me too.
Yeah same
Same. I love Girls und Panzer, it's really fun to see tanks and high school girls have fun.
*How the flex tape infomercial is better than endgame*
The thing with GuP is that most of the inaccuracies are clearly intentional choices, not dumb mistakes or pandering or laziness. The people who made the show clearly love tanks, and did their homework. The show is full of subtle details that you'd never notice if you aren't already well informed about the machines involved, but will make you smile when you do spot them. It's like the difference between a skilled musician who purposefully messes around with the music he's playing to have fun, vs an unskilled amateur who plays it wrong because he doesn't know any better.
To name just one trivial example: Late in the series, the four girls of the school's automotive club who have been maintaining the tanks until now, join the team to operate the Porsche Tiger prototype, which was a tank well known for its many mechanical issues. At one point, the engine breaks down during during a match. The crew act mildly annoyed rather than surprised, and one girl calmly climbs out and starts fixing the engine, while the tank is still driving. It's completely silly and ridiculous, but on the other hand, the Porsche Tiger *did* have 2 engines with electric drive, so, at least in principal, it really could drive on one engine. Of course, fixing an engine on a moving tank while it's hot from running still silly, but the scene calls out a cool and obscure technical detail in a way that's both humorous and exciting, but it doesn't shove your face in it. It's just a few seconds with no-one calling attention to why they can do that, so you'll only appreciate it later when you get curious and read about the Porsche Tiger (or while watching if you're a real tank nerd).
Or the amusing bit of trivia that in WWII tanks WERE driven over other tanks, both intentionally and accidentally, which is hilariously referenced on the Maus scene (and with a tank whose chasis was later used for a tank towing vehicle, for added amusement value), facts that one discovers when investigating whether the scene is TOTALLY fictional or has at least some kind of plausibility, even if the scene is greatly exagerated for fun. I even remember someone making the calculation that the Hetzer's chasis would REALLY stand that weight without structural failure - but its suspension would not, which is EXACTLY what the series depicts.
Also, I've watched footage of WWII-era tanks _actually drifting over cobbled streets_ (a captured T-26 pulling a 180 for show at the victory parade of the winning side of the Spanish Civil War). Have you noticed that ALL the tank drifting scenes (but the ones of the hilariously improved Porshe Tiger - those are done for laughs) happen over paved surfaces? Yes I knew you noticed. They did. But you need to have watched that rare footage or you'll believe it's impossible.
@@notfeedynotlazy Could I ask for the source of this? I really wanna see it because it sounds fucking hilarious.
@@MisterNeumeyer Sadly, I can not point to any internet link. That footage I saw in a 1980s(*) (pre-Internet age) TVE documentary about the SCW, so the original footage itself must be in TVE archives - but the documentary itself was never digitalized. It might even be lost - TVE used to record over old recording tapes "to save costs" in the late 80s and early 90s...

what you said about making history interesting is so true. i was a little interested in tanks befor GUP but when i saw the mous and the tiger p, it made me want to find out if those are real and when i found out they are, i got hooked on how they thought of these ideas. its awsome!! lol im fine with being called a tank weeb because anime help me become more invested in stuff i never would have really cared about.

not mentions the backups, behind-the-scene crew, historians, and permission to use a setting
Besides the explanation with the "safety rounds" and the souped-up engines on everything (which was more for plot than anything else), they didn't do a horrible job with GuP. The vehicles are all real and accurate, the tactics are at least based off of what the original factions used, was all-around entertaining without being WoT-level inaccurate. Besides, any budding history nerd would know better than to see this and actually believe that's how it was in real life.
@@Colonel100 It's an entertainment anime bro, chill. And what's more realistic, a tank flipping or an M4A2 76 not being able to pierce frontally a Tiger I ?
@@nemozinioux Yeah I know. But somebody cannot just diss fury. And this is coming from a man who has never seen fury. But I have seen enough of Girls Und Panzer to know this users post in my opinion is a tad flawed.
@@Colonel100 Flawed ? Yes but actually no, GuP really cared about giving details on how things work to add logic an thus a bit of realism (even when not mentioned in the anime) when in Fury... supposedly experienced crews are acting DUM and more, more problems. The issue is Fury never seems to completely assume to be what it is : entertainment. It never goes full show movie, when it could as so many things are wrong in it.
GuP on it's side, cares a lot more about some details like superheavies and tactics.
The thing about enticing viewers with a bit of something to get them interested to learn more is real. I'm not a history buff and I had no idea what the maus was before watching GuP but after ep 11 I spent an evening researching the thing from all different manners (technical, historical, political etc...) which then went on to me researching other tanks in the series, just because I thought they looked cool.
Bruh even tho playing WT for a long time now watching this show was the thing that low key got me into tanks and the history around/behind them. ( this was 4 years ago )
Cone: “Kids don’t care”
Me, who’s been into history since elementary school: Hold the fuck up
Lol same I’ve spent hundreds if not thousands of hours playing games and reading books based around military history
I've been into ww2 stuff since I was 8 when my dad bought me some books. When I got a ps3 for Christmas the only game I played was birds of steel. I watched videos and dreamed of playing wt. Then I finally mustered 300 dollars to buy myself a ps4 and the first thing I did was download war thunder. I am now 14 and still go to air shows and am finally going to go to tankfest this year (it was cancelled last year.) Learning about ww2 history has been a big part of my life
Me, who read all types of history book (including medical, technology, military, and of course weapons) in elementary: WTF
There Is this 10yo who lives in the same neighborhood, just keeps asking me questions after questions about WW2 he just keeps learning non-stop like, JEEZUS!
How about your classmates? Were they also interested in history?
No? Exactly
besides the huge details on the tanks in the series, I also like to point out there are many other historic details, like the history club making a reference of a historic battle or character almost every time they speak, or the time darjeeling (the leader of the british HS) spoke with katyusha (leader of the soviet HS) being a reference when Churchill discuss with Stalin the state of WWII. There are a huge amounts of details about history, might not be one of the best plots in animation, but surely is one of the best historic works in animation
[EDIT]
I completely forgot I was also going to mention the OST, which really well done and if I'm not mistaken, all of them are real
The historical accuracy is also very good. Things like the Tiger P episode and the times they put upgrades on the Panzer IV. The Tiger P episode is one of my favorites as they just get stuck in mud and catch on fire a lot lol.
"Kids really don't care"

Uhh...not many peoples

Whenever someone brings up GuP being unrealistic, i always answer "its realistic enough"
I mean yeah. Tbf i cant recall any TRULY impossible shots, at least in the main series. As in, they got the armour and relative power of the tanks correct.
It's realistic enough to attract an expert, but unrealistic enough to be interesting to a casual audience. Realistic tank battles are quite static after all.
"GuP is unrealistic" is the laziest excuse one could give to put down the show. Most animes even without the fantasy element have always been unrealistic.
Evangelion is perhaps one of the most renowned animes ever created with a fantastic story, yet the EVAs themselves are 100% unrealistic. Not to mention the fact that the show never explains why only kids can be pilots.
@@imgvillasrc1608 i think they mentioned something about having to sync the EVA's with the Pilots, (kind of like Pacific Rim) and all of the possible candidates who COULD sync up with the EVA's just happened to be kids
@@Lewd-Tenant_Isan Yes but it never explains WHY only kids can link up to the EVAs. There are fan theories floating around but they are merely theories.
Regardless, it's not such an important issue as it's not important to the main story at all.
Here’s how I look at it. There’s two types of unrealistic when it comes to history; unrealism done out of ignorance and unrealism done as an artistic choice. While I am usually always in favor of realism over action, in this case I think what they have works great as it’s not in a historical setting and the creators clearly know and respect the actual history behind it.
Mike’s father is right. Finding a way to find history both interesting & relatable is extremely important. I used to be a tour guide on historical trails. when we would get a school group in, I would change my presentations based on the grade. Often I would try to figure out what games or showers were popular at the time.

Yea, finding the "Tank on maus" sceene was litterally what got me into anime and sparked my interest in ww2 history, and after that ww1.
I got into WWI and WWII was the Russians 🇷🇺 because of there big azz tanks
... literally* ...
same, now my interest is fully on tank design rather than history tbh (but i do look for some history stuf too)
its fun to imagine how they could make a ''perfect'' version of a ww2/ww1 tank with a better engine and suspension etc or to think wether it would be possible or not to make tanks like the grasshopper or the ratte real in the modern days (even if one would obviously be a detriment and the other ultimately useless)
Learn the rest of history too
To be honest, Girls und Panzer is what got me to like tanks
Same here
Bro saaaame
Exactly what happened to me it also got me into anime too.
Gup my fav. Anime because I love tanks too
Same
most touching moment for me was episode 10. it was the night before the finals. some of the girls were watching and crying over kelly's heroes (starring clint eastwood). a movie i repeatedly watched with my dad, a war movies enthusiast (i got it from him) who introduced me to the longest day, a bridge too far, battle of the bulge, operation daybreak, etc. he passed away in 2004. this anime series is not only amazing, it also reminds me of my younger, happier days watching war movies with him. 😪
"why do you like this shit"
Can you think of another show with multi perspective tank battles, and 6,000,000 historical references?
It was the series that made me a Weeb instead,damn High School girls with short skirts
ah I see, you are a man of culture as well
Saaaaaame! Came for the tanks, stayed for the cute anime girls
Came for the tanks, got traumatized about how little school girls lift heavy ammo with little effort and wear skirts in a metal interior (imagine grazing your legs somewhere inside the tank, yikes)
Honestly, I looked around for other similar anime. Nothing cuts it.
Weebs are GuP fans but GuP fans are not necessarily weebs.
@@samoldfield5220 There's nothing like it if you wish for tank battles. There are some which are perfect if you love series that appreciates history very well though, like Vinland Saga (a really well crafted love letter to viking age) or Legend of Galactic Heroes (which is basically some kind of Prussian Napoleon vs American Yi Sun-Yin epic but in space -- watch the original 4 season OVA for much more historical documentary feel).
The part where Miho and Maho were kids driving to the lake through the rice fields really showed how one could feel alive and at ease with a tank. I know many love tanks, it's a strange like or obsession that I notice just happens to come out in people involved with tanks or an interest in them. like Hana Isuzu with her flower arranging tank vase, thay can be so peaceful. I have never felt that before Girls und panzer. I think tanks might achually bring about not a love for war, but feeling of security and perhaps peace.
Have you actually watched Fury? The guy Norman replaces had his head blown off by a shell in the tank. Tanks are machines of death. Plot armor aside, unless you’re using a tank as farm equipment, which happens more frequently than a person thinks, a tank is designed to kill. End of story. They are pretty cool; I’m a mechanic so I do love to note certain features like drivetrain and suspension whenever I visit museums but aside from that the lowdown is not pretty. But they do beat the trenches. Admiration from afar…
@@ardie4
1. It was girls und panzer not fury two different things and one is irrelevant to the topic as.it was not brought up at all
2. A tank is designed to kill but that depends on the user same with a gun it is designed to kill but it depends on how you use it which defines what it is.
Tamiya used to have a 1/35 scale model kit of the "Maus".
I found a lot of Military Marches thanks to GuP, in all kinds of nations, it was fun learning stuff while listening to what were the marches made in 1930+
During the credits of der film, it shows Wargaming participated in GuP
I mean the the person who makes videos about tanks that work for WG also helped with the movie. And I'm assuming it's researching for the tanks idk.

Girls und Panzer was the very first anime I've watched that got me into both history and anime at the same time and thus there'll always be a special place in my memory and heart for this anime
What are the odds.
Me too
Ok these odds are kinda ridiculous
Me three
In fact as i am writing this i am bouta watch the final episode of the main series
We need GuP but with modern MBTs, ATGMs, active protection systems and reactive armor. Image the crazy shit they would do with that stuff
That sounds oddly... Entertaining... As far as I know, only the Type 90, I think it was, is in GuP. It might be a cool little mini series like Phase Erika
Somewhere, from far off in the distance, a single blip of gunfire. *Aaaaand the tank is gone.*
*S-Tank reversing all the way to the bank*
@@solarflare7284 it's type 10 bruh, on the third ep
Ironically, GuP is one of the reasons why I got so hooked up with MBTs. Cpt. Chono's Type 10 and her introduction was one of the best parts of the series.
Though, I can understand why there are no MBT concept for Sensha-do. Can you imagine trying to tell the difference between a T-72, T-80, and a T-90? M1A1 and M1A2 Abrams? Or even a Leopard 1 and 2? Perhaps full on tank nerds that love modern tanks like me can identify, but for the casual viewer or WW2 onlys, the difference is non-existent or very minimal.
No but ok
Not only do I love this anime, I read the manga a little bit as well, I found out about it during school when I stumbled upon a video called "How to defeat a Maus." And it sparked my love for anime, though at the time I didn't know it was something you would be made fun for liking. I get made fun of for liking tanks as well... But regardless, seeing the Maus in action was a cool scene.
Also can we just mention how amazing the OST's for every school is?
@ConeOfArc what happend to the little cone tonk, why isnt it out there to buy anymore?
I really like this anime, history stuffs aside, the OSTs in this series is a masterpiece. They could at least milked it a little bit more by making more sequels or seasons.
They are making OVAs so it is being milked. The OST is great, I hear it all the time
@@fluck6959 My grandpa is a huge fan of military music. I'mma get him addicted to the GuP OST
I think only Wargaming had a collab with them adding the Panzer IV Anko, Hetzer, (also giving the Ha-Go a camo), Saunders Sherman Firefly, Kuro Mori Mine, and the most recent being the IS-2 Pravda
I’m still waiting for the Pink M3 Lee
And I don’t care if Wargaming sell it for 20$ for a reskin M3 Lee

Inaccuracies aside, when that show digs it's heels in, it's more detailed than anything I've seen.
It's not just the animation, it is filled to the absolute brim with historical references and jokes. The team behind it has done some absolutely incredible work, and I'm glad I can enjoy things like these without shame.
Bachelor in History going on Master here, most other serious history students I know and even young Historians who are actively starting in the field all got their love of history from media. Unironically, watching Girls und Panzer and playing World of Tanks gave me my entry into history, along with other games that came out later. I don't even particularly watch anime anymore, but I still love Girls und Panzer for the fact that while it may not be accurate to anything, it really did serve as an entryway into researching armored vehicles and later the War itself, and now I work for a prominent museum as a Holocaust researcher because I had gotten into the field with passion from a young age.

This isn’t the only kelly’s heroes reference in the show, I find the first one to be pretty interesting
When you talked about the Maus scene and how that would have looked to a person not familiar with tank history, that actually spoke to me because that actually was me. I went into GuP knowing next to nothing and the Maus scene got me excited to know more about the Maus and tank combat as a whole. The show does do a really good job with making you interested.
I mean, who DOESN'T want to know more about a tank that has its own fucking class? It's like hearing about the Ratte, the Maus' bigger brother. Big enough to put a Naval cannon on it!
@@registheron9752 Isn't the Ratte an actual Land Battleship than just being called a Tank?
@@aaronluisdelacruz4212 Technically yes, but landship originates from the WW1 British tank so its not too different

@@Colonel100 he or she made the right choice fury is crap and they made so many mistakes that is laughable
@@Colonel100 how are they anime Nazis? Also just because someone dislikes something you like doesn't mean they didn't watch it mayby just mayby they disliked it.
@@Colonel100 in another comment you said (paraphrased) "It was created by imperial Germany and was later used as a nazi symbol" so please get your story right as according to your self it isn't a nazi symbol that was created by the Nazis. Also just because they use that symbol does not mean they are Nazis mayby they do it to be more historical accurate (I am not saying it is historical accurate fully but a good part is historically accurate) like the part where the Finnish tank drives without its tracks which it could do and has been done before or how the KV2 when on a slight slope tipped over sideways which it actually did as well as many other small details for all of the tanks not just the Nazis but the Soviets , France , US , Finland and Japan.
@@Colonel100 seen Fury and it's bad. Its a typical war movie you see everyday. The funny thing is that Fury was based on an event and the event was way more interesting than the movie.
@@Colonel100 You get mad over people saying the movie is bad (which it is), but based on you said, you never seen GuP and assume it's an all Nazi anime all because you saw the symbol on the German tanks. Man you got to be really dumb to think like that.
Hello cone of arc i am from japan and love to watch your videos my mom used to live near oarai and yes oarai is a real town in ibaraki you could check out streetview and you would find GuP stuff everywhere even in 2021 many people there try to build replica tanks and also rare ones like the italian tankettes

Girls und panzer is honestly one of the driving factors the got me so into tanks in the first place. Now I’d always had loved these things even as a kid, but only knew stand outs like the tiger and t34. It wasn’t until my teenage years that I found girls und panzer mentioned online, before checking it out for myself, and I agree the plot is a little to be desired. But the battles! Oh the battles are what we are all really there for! It helped drive a spark in my curiosity to learn more about the topic, and now tanks are one my favorite topics of the Second World War! So needless to say o really enjoyed this video haha, though the title is a bit click bait, but eh we’re all used to that by now, either way great video! really made me reminisce about when I first found out about tanks and gup!

One thing that i never noticed until i was re-watching Der Film was how accurate the tank models are. The original series their models arent that great, but for Der Film they get even some of the most minute details like the commander's sight on the M4 right.
Generally, i've found the tank combat in GuP to be accurate if you accept that the tanks are sped up 2x, and that neither side is worried about dying, so they can take more risky maneuvers. Honestly, we see a similar case with flight-sims. No matter how realistic your flight simulator is if there's no fear of death pilots dont have to fight like they do in WWII. Or if you want something more realistic, look to what the opfor does at the US Military's NTC.
A great example of this principle is Sabaton, where the mix the history with amazing music to tell the story. It’s always very well-written.
