Any other movies about Impossible odds?
This one really got me. Was all about how impossible the mission to save Ryan was, then in true kino form hanks, shooting a fucking pistol at a tank front, happens to penetrate the ammo clip and destroy it moments before help arrives.
I just want more movies with this theme.
Hey OP. It seems you're mistaken!
While, undoubtedly, the mission to save Ryan was most certainly against all odds, that final scene is a bit different than you think. You see, Tom Hanks shooting at the tank as he lay wounded on the ground was a more of a show for his character than an attempt to defeat the tank. You see, after the tank blows up, and Tom looks questioningly at his gun, the camera pans up and we see...planes! Bombers! Ain't that neat? We get a bit of humor at the end, as well as a final show of the character of Tom Hanks, AND a great epic explosion to save the day.
Hope this answered your question. :)
I think he looks at his gun because he didn't know it could penetrate a tank.
That's actually a common misconception about the aircraft. They didn't drop a bomb because the tank explodes from the inside.
>this thread brought to you by the guy who wants to know how do they shrink everyone in westworld
Fucking keke
but how do they
0.5/10 because you made me mad anyway
Well the P40s in the sky blew up the tank but ok.
>I think he looks at his gun because he didn't know it could penetrate a tank.
A lot of loyalty for a hired gun.

WHAT THE FUCK IT DOES EXPLODE FROM THE INSIDE
Yeah I bet all the Brits and Americans who fought the nazis would be depressed if they saw that they basically fought to turn Europe in to a scummy third world shithole.
Everything I know is a lie
...
I see absolutely zero bomb penetration point.
Retarded OP was right.
>german engineering
Always found it hilarious how frequently these Cred Forums shitpost images have misspelled words in them. It's poetic subtext.
Cred Forums you made a good thread for once
Seriously how did nobody catch this before?
I thought aspies went through movies with a fine frame by frame comb.
I'm keeping this bumped because it's hilarious
>german engineering
Or perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
...
So one of his pistol rounds made it through one of the view ports and hit the ammo rack, igniting it and causing an explosion.
It's possible
It's retarded
...
I think the bigger luke hypothesis fits in your criteria. Two not-so-identical twins separated at birth join opposite sides in a intergalactic brouhaha. I mean what are the odds?

this happened to me in battle field 3
>be American fighting Russians
>there is a tank so I charge at it with my pistol
>yell "let's do this like saving private ryan"
>rapid fire my pistol when a plane bombs it and it explodes
yet the picture shows exactly that happened
I CAN SEE THROUGH TIME
THERE ARE NO LIMITS ANYMORE
NONE
It doesn't hit the ammunition.
Compare attached pic with this pic Clearly, the viewport doesn't line up with the ammunition, nor is the ammunition stored in a manner which could be hit by a bullet (behind steel protection). Yes the tank explodes from the inside, but it's also a movie and they can't drop a real bomb on top of it, so I assume it's just because of limitations.
Obviously OP is wrong and he didn't hit the ammo storage, he ricocheted down the barrel, hitting the already loaded shell on the fuse, causing it to detonate, which in turn blew up the ammo storage.
So the loader was holding a shell and the bullet hit that.
what a stupid fucking design, half the tank is completely exposed on the left side
I don't have a defense for that. Holy shit. Please don't tell me this is what happened.
The Brits who fought the Nazis became Nazis themselves and voted Brexit because of hyperbolic anti immigrant evidence free shit you have just demonstrated
>he ricocheted down the barrel, hitting the already loaded shell on the fuse, causing it to detonate, which in turn blew up the ammo storage.
this is what happened. Tom Hanks pulled off the death star shot.
While I agree with you, apparently not stupid enough considering it rocked the battlefield. That or the Allied tanks just sucked so much ass that the flaws of the Tiger were not a huge deal.
3 hours before this shows up on the reddit front page.
Why is the tank a T-34/85 covered in a wooden shell to look like a Tiger?
That image actually shows a late-war model Tiger that has undergone extensive field modifications to improve ventilation to the engine, increase driver and commander visibility and improve ergonomics for the loader.
Downsides include poor performance in rainy weather and increased rates of petty theft among tank crews.
>superior german armoring scheme can't deflect a single 9mm bullet
So rain melts german steel?
>9mm
Bitch please, it was a 44 magnum.
user that's how nearly every single tank was
there's simply not enough space to put it anywhere else
Holy shit, if I were around in WW2 I could have designed a much better tank.
For starters I would make sure the driver was protected by the armor. That design is retarded.
>Yes the tank explodes from the inside, but it's also a movie and they can't drop a real bomb on top of it
Yes, but it would have been easier and cheaper to just fireball the outside of the tank obscuring where the actual detonation came from. Blowing it up from the inside must have been for a reason plotwise.
They needed the full view to know where they were going, it would be stupid to put glass there cause it would just break.
It also saves a shit ton of money on production when you drive 3/4 a tank.
That's a light tank homie. Meant for scooting and booping sides and rears of bigger tanks. It can't have too much armor or it wouldn't be fast enough.
A firefly isn't a light tank matey
Compared to your mom it is.
ignoring the fact that you're intentionally full of shit, an internal explosion may just mean that a round from the plane penetrated the tank's armor and then it exploded from inside.
;_;
It is once you modify it by cutting off the front. They did this because the tiger tanks could penetrate from the front anyway, so there was no reason to keep the front plate
A new Turkish military film about a real story of an 8 man special forces team who had to defend a Yezidi village from ISIS.
Opens up this novembet in Turkey and Europe.
They literally have drone footage of the 8 men fighting the 150 man ISIS division with a looted Abrams near mount Sinjar.

I think Fox Searchlight already picked it up or is about to.
t-t-turks are white!!
What round? The planes weren't strafing.
INCLUDE ME IN THE SCREENCAP
It was destroyed by a plane, you nigger.
This scene is why we need to finally ban guns.
That 45 magnum that Hanks has should never be in civilian hands if they can blow up tanks like that.
They took their re-embiggenizer and just reversed it.

The Germans didn't exactly have a lot of material to work with. Their army still relied mainly on horses to carry around goods for christ's sake.
I guess it's not impossible, but fucking christ, imagine the odds.

I always thought that this scene was a homage to the ending of jaws

it's that i'd rather fap to a bigger guy

Hey user. It seems you're mistaken!
While, undoubtedly, those were planes you saw, that model is a bit different than you think. You see, those were actually P-51D Mustangs. You see, they have slim profiles and small chassis...single engines! fighters! Ain't that neat? We get a bit of humor at this post, as well as a learn differences between planes, AND continue this meme.
Hope this fixed your ignorance. :)
Letters from Iwo Jima, if you haven't seen it already. Really gets across how terminally fucked the Japanese were.
slav shit is cheap. RARE kraut vehicles are not.
>Really gets across how terminally fucked the Japanese were.
I wish we had some kind of recording or video of the room where they made the decision to attack the US.
>Without oil from the US, we can't continue our war with China
>Option 1: Withdraw from China, but keep our entire empire and our sovereignty
>Option 2: Attack the US, which already has a larger navy than us despite being demobilized and can build more ships in a month than we can in a year
What on earth made them choose Option 2?
QUICK
IS THIS IMAGE REAL OR FAKE
97% OF AMERICANS GET THIS WRONG
i want to be in screencap too pls
They needed china for agricultural needs (imperial japan strove to feed itself) --> farmland in china.
They had good experiences with crippling major power's pacific navy with a surprise attack. (victory over russia) en.wikipedia.org
The people and the government were feeling themselves and wanted to show japan stronk.
watch tora tora tora
Actually Japan was basically run by two military factions in the period up to WWII one was run by the army and favored a land war with russia and the other lead by the IJN and wanted a war with America, the two sides debated and often murdered each other in the streets but eventually Tojo and the IJN won out and got their way in attacking america
No
Talk about propaganda, especially given Turkey is likely going to take and hold Northern Syria and maybe even Northern Iraq.
JET BEAMS
Any plane can carry a bomb you dink, the plane is still a fighter.
oh so you were just being autistically pedantic about the classification of the plane and not denying that they could have done the bombing
carry on then brother, i can respect that
What? It wasn't his pistol it was a plane that blew up the tank!
One in a million kid!
>ammo clip
>clip
NO GUNZ GET OUT REEEEEEEEEEEEE
They're fighters. If they're tasked with ground attack or made with intent of hitting ground targets, they would be fighter-bombers. Notice that the hyphen and bomber part come after fighter denoting that the planes primary classification is that of fighter. If you read the posts again, you'll notice you called them 'bombers' which is misleading, and that I corrected you. But you can go ahead and get offended about it like a retarded braindead nigger because your meme streetcred got tarnished for being ignorant, I can respect that my dude.
I really hated that scene
Theres no indication it was a bomb, you should have heard the plane before the bomb explodes, you should have heard the whistling noise a bomb at that speed makes as it falls through the air, you should have been able to see the bomb hit instead of the tank exploding and the plane appearing seconds later, as if it was just about to bomb.
See here for how it should have been- Its just like when you see artillery firing in a movie, but the explosion is clearly triggered from the ground and goes upwards instead of blasting downwards and throwing up tons of dirt to the air, triggers me.
"Theyre P-51's, tankbusters Sir"
No theyre not theyre fucking high altitude bomber escort and fighter planes not ground attack planes
REEEEE
WHAT ARE THOSE P51'S DOING ON THE DECK WHEN THEY SHOULD BE ESCORTING BOMBERS
THIS IS WHY WE ALWAYS LOSE THE ROUND
FUCKING NOOBS

So germans confirmed for making shit tanks yeah?

Killing a tiger tank with a pistol.
Brings a tear to ones eye
It's supposed to be a Panzer IV, genius.
