RE: Best tank action - Part II - Poll - Herr Straße Laufer - 01-07-2010 I would have voted for #11. :cheeky: RR RE: Best tank action - Part II - Poll - Crossroads - 01-07-2010 MrRoadrunner Wrote:I would have voted for #11. :cheeky: I am sorry RR... The film, supported by many to take this poll by storm, was disqualified as i) the Russian player used his armour in a non-committed fashion, and ii) the German player used indirect artillery against a tank, claiming it was spotted :cool: :whis: No offence to anyone... Just trying to be funny here...
RE: Best tank action - Part II - Poll - Herr Straße Laufer - 01-07-2010 And there were no Ht's? :rolleyes: RR RE: Best tank action - Part II - Poll - Crossroads - 01-07-2010 Then again, it showed how to perform a perfect Extreme assault: demoralising and disrupting the tank crew before assaulting it to oblivion! :chin: Maybe I was too harsh on the poor film!? 
RE: Best tank action - Part II - Poll - Crossroads - 01-07-2010 A tough call between BoB Carentan, TI 1944 and Cross of Iron. :chin: Kelly's Heroes was a pleasure to watch as a whole  Ended up voting for Cross of Iron. A true classic! RE: Best tank action - Part II - Poll - Jim von Krieg - 01-08-2010 I just loved the Kelly's Heroes scene where they come out the tunnels and shoot the rail yard up... and at the end, the street duel between the Sherman and Tigers (mock-up).... and its not the Tiger that breaks down... Even if it was silly at times, it was done very well IMHO... I found that it captured a sense of humor that is close to a Soldier's humor... not many movies can walk that fine line successfully... and Cross of Iron... that is just one great movie... the T34/85s swarming... RE: Best tank action - Part II - Poll - Pip Roberts - 01-08-2010 Number 8 Cross of Iron as it had real T34's. I loved the scene where one of them burst through a brick wall. The whole movie was THE BEST as it was so real in every way RE: Best tank action - Part II - Poll - Boisforas - 01-08-2010 Cross of Iron!!
