Reviving this pre-pandemic thread to include this in the collection.
I haven't seen this movie yet. Some extraordinary slow motion WW2 eastern front tank battle scenes.

Agreed. Great graphics; poor tactics. The bridge duel is way over the top.
My (somewhat morbid) fascination was with the ballistics.
The way the shell melts the armour as it penetrates.
The scenes where the shell glances off the armour.
The shocking spalling inside the tanks.

There is that ... but the whole thing does strike one as computer-gamey!
Tough crowd. 
Here's another scene that gets the Hollywood / World of Warships treatment.
However, I found it gripping. All that flak!
Another aerial battle, this time WW1.
It must have been thrilling and terrifying to be flying in an open cockpit...without even a parachute.

I like how the relief of of the front tanker in the file is depicted in the Rome clip. You dont often see that.

Nah, just high standards.
Not bad.
Yep, plywood and canvas held together by bailing wire. Shorter machine-gun bursts though in reality.
