20:20 for context, German Tiger tanks were absolute monsters in battle. Their frontal armor was thick and their main gun was equally destructive. The biggest reason they survived in that duel is due to hitting the thinner plating on the back. Thankfully, despite being the superior tank, the Tiger was also costly and not as common as the ally tanks and the US tanks got close to their quality wile having more quantity if i remember.
Thanks. The "laser light" from the guns is called a "tracer round", every 10th or 20th bullet has a tip with phosphorus, so it ignites in the air, this allows the gunner to see exactly where all the bullets are going. ❤
Only aircraft used tracers in World War ll, or so I have read, but it is a magnificent visual effect of the shear fire power they could unleash. I served in the U.S. Navy on a fast attack submarine and these guys were crazy, "They had zero chance against most German armor, or artillery, in their gasoline driven Zippo lighter tanks." As for war: mine was classified.
@ทิพวรรณแซ่ลิ้ม-ธ9ช I fired an automatic m16 at a range during night training, it had tracers. That was 1981. Tracers are good for night use, when it is difficult to use optics, unless the system has night-vision, ❤️

All the WW2 veterans are dying of old age. Only 60,000 are still alive out of the 110,000,000+ that fought in that war. They are getting as many first hand accounts of the war from as many dying old veterans as possible. The WW2 movies that have come out in the past 10-15 years are the most true and real WW2 movies ever, and this is one of them. These modern WW2 movies are coming from the experiences of the vets who have held their experiences inside for their whole lives because it was too painful to tell anyone, but now in their dying days, they have realized they should get their horrible stories because people need to be told the horrors of war so we don't start WW3. Right now, this kind of horror is taking place in Ukraine and western Russia. The Russia-Ukraine war is not nearly as big as WW2, but as of the time of this reaction video, more tanks have been destroyed in the Russia-Ukraine war than in any other war since WW2 - that's nearly a century. Tank warfare today is just as horrible and brutal as it was in WW2. As you read this, young men are being killed in scenes much like what you see in this movie. The Russia-Ukraine war is the most pointless, stupid war in modern history, yet the battle rages and enters it's 3rd year. This war is so stupid that to help you realize how insane it is, imagine your country, Pakistan, suddenly invading Saudi Arabia or Turkey. You are given some crazy reason, and you watch as the young men you know, in your own families, start heading off to war, and as time goes, they never return. You ask your government where your sons are, where your cousins are, your neighbors and your friends. Months go by and you never hear from them or see them again. You ask your government where these people are, and your government tells you to shut up, and go home and stop complaining, and deal with it. Then they start telling you that 30% of your wages will be taken by the Pakistani government to keep fighting a war against your friends in Saudi Arabia or Turkey. They lie to you every day, but you never question them. Not for years and years. You keep sending your young men off to war, never given a good reason, never to hear from again. This is what the people of Russia are doing right now. Either Russians are INSANE, WEAK - too weak for 120 million Russians to put their foot down and tell their dictator that NO MORE RUSSIAN BOYS NEED TO DIE, or the Russian people are in fact SO STUPID, that they don't know up from down and black from white. 1 million dead Russians, mostly young men under 21 years old. 300,000 Ukrainians dead, half are innocent civilians, often mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, grandmothers and grandfathers as they sit in their homes, the only place they have, nowhere else to go, being killed by Russians, forced into a pointless war by a psychotic dictator, for no actual reason, killing their brothers and sisters who speak the same language, travel the same roads, sow the same fields, share the same family names, and spend holidays with each other. Now, those people are being forced to kill each other by a few people. WHY? For money, for influence, and for power. The millions suffer for the tiny few.
The Russians invaded Ukraine for good reasons... reasons probably you or I wouldn't agree with. But they're not stupid. Russia invaded for two main reasons. First, NATO was gaining a foothold in Ukraine. Russia historically maintains satellite vassal states between itself and western Europe as a buffer zone. This was the reason for the Warsaw pact. Over the years, NATO has been moving closer and closer to Russia. With Ukraine, they would be right across the border making an invasion into Russia fast, effective, and very difficult to defend against. By invading Ukraine, they could keep NATO out of Ukraine and make them another vassal buffer state. Second, Russia absolutely must maintain their naval base at Sevastopol. Russia doesn't have enough warm water ports. And Sevastopol is their only way to quickly and easily put a navy into the Mediterranean. NATO in Ukraine also threatened Russia's access to Sevastopol. And with a weak US President in office, they took their shot while they could. With Trump coming back into office, they'll probably seek to end the war now while holding on to their gains in Crimea and eastern Ukraine. We'll see if they can manage to do that.
Tiger tanks could not fire their gun and move at the same time The 88mm gun was too powerful To fire it they had to stop the tank and put the brake on If they fired the gun while moving the recoil would have thrown the tracks off

@@ทิพวรรณแซ่ลิ้ม-ธ9ชthat’s not true though where did you read that?
It’s every 5 on avge
@adamscott7354 depends on munition. High rates mean less tracers. ❤️

I just love this reaction!! 🎉🎉🎉 Well done guys….❤
I know you've seen other Brad Pitt movies, I also recommend Troy (2003) if you haven't seen that one yet, with an all star cast.
I assumed the last 20 minutes of this would be tough on you both, and it was.
Hey!
We don't talk about Fight Club!
Yeah, first and second rules of Fight Clu - er, what club was that again?

What happen to the other guy?
Tiger tanks could not fire their gun and move at the same time
The 88mm gun was too powerful
To fire it they had to stop the tank and put the brake on
If they fired the gun while moving the recoil would have thrown the tracks off
Nice choice, guys. Black Hawk Down is another great war movie you should check out
Just out of curiosity, are these guys Indian, Pakistani etc?
Pakistani friends
Fun movie but total B S in regards to reality.
