I have seen a couple of Russian made war movies and they "Tigered" their T34/85s like they did in the movie "Kelly's Hereos" which was the original Tiger movie.

In the West we tended to have whatever was in the National Guard repainted and marked up to be the Germans with the recon tanks play the Americans (see Battle of the Bulge for M47s as Tigers and M24s as Shermans). In "Patton" is was M48s as German tanks, M47s as American (newsreels showed actual M4s).
In "A Bridge Too Far" you may recall they did have some Shermans but the German tanks were all Leos.
I think what you see in most of those films are old T-34s which were more easily into looking like a Tiger.
I don't know of many succesful attempts to portray other German armor until the 1990s when we saw the converted FV-432s used as German armor.
Its kind of using what is available.

Originally posted by Tanker View PostNo. The Shermans were post war left overs that the Yugoslav Army let the filmakers use. When the US Army woke up after the war and realized that the M4A3 turret did NOT need to be counter balanced for the M1C 76mm gun so they mounted it on all the Shermans they gave to countries that Germany had invaded like Yugoslavia. They also gave them most of the M18 and M36 Hellcats and Jacksons

Originally posted by clackers View PostThe trailer looks good - I suppose the Tiger itself is all CGI?“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

The "Tiger" in the first three adverts is all wrong; wrong fenders, wrong tracks (they look like T-34 tracks), split commanders hatch (the Tiger NEVER had a split commander's hatch); at least they got the sights right. The last ones look okay: correct tracks, fenders, muzzle brake, etc."There is never enough time to do or say all the things that we would wish.
