Finally got around to watching Dunkirk after putting off forever. Stukas and Spitfires sound almost identical in both this game and the movie. I feel like the Junkers and the Blenheims can use even more of deep roar. And the bombs flying to target also seemed different. Wonder who was closer to the real deal. Anyway, now I wanna go watch SPR, Hacksaw Ridge, the pianist, Fury all of 'em. Heck I’m gonna watch some FMJ even though it’s the Vietnam war.
Can’t just be me, anyone else on a BFV inspired war movie train?
Dunkirk wasn’t that great, it missed a lot of crucial elements..Saving Private Ryan is a classic, Band of Brothers is a must, Guns of Navarone is amazing, Fury i loved and finally…a Bridge too far..masterpiece
Yeah there’s a true story one where huge packs of women commandos go and take out enemy objectives and then they do bombing runs and all kinds of stuff
I know I’ve mentioned it before but if you can stomach it Men Behind the Sun is an interesting watch (the fourth one is good as well but two and three aren’t really worth watching).
I have always liked War movies.. But this game doesn’t inspire me to watch any WW2 movies.
This game has more in common with Star Wars than any of the real world wars, It’s a fictional arcade war shooter no more no less.
Two of the best “war movies” imo:
1.Deer hunter.
2. Apocalypse Now.
If you want some more Spit/Stuka galore, watch “Battle of Britain”.
Kinda dated, but still very spectacular and informative, while entertaining. Lots of great actors in small roles - a la The longest day, A bridge too far etc.
As for the planes, there are some models, but many of the planes are authentic or almost authentic - the Messerschmitt and the Heinkels are almost lookalike spanish versions.
A short sentence to summarize this movie? They don’t make 'em like they used to anymore.
