T-34 2018

I enjoy both WWII movies and tanks, so I figured I'd check this one out - mainly just to see how far they'd push the 'superiority' and 'propagandist' angles in regards to the T-34 tank. Sure enough, they pushed them well enough.

The plot is simple, yet a little silly in itself, with quite a few decent enough tank duels that are ruined mainly because of the excessive use of 'bullet cam' after the tank rounds are fired, constant deflections and/or near misses or grazes on the armour (mainly all conveniently in favour of the T-34!).

You just find it all hard to believe and question the plausibility when the German Tiger tank was one of the most feared weapons on the battlefield. Want to watch a better tank movie? Watch Fury instead.

@beedelljulianlockhartroke Exactly what i mean,
