Canadian English[edit]

I propose that this article should be changed from Canadian English to American, as the TV series is American and produced by the (American) Military Channel. Any objections? Erikeltic ^(Talk) 18:56, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Where are you getting that from? Canwest and Breakthrough are both Canadian companies. Just because it also airs on the Mil Chan doesn't mean it's an American show, anymore than a U.S. show airing on a Canadian channel makes it Canadian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.119.176.220 (talk) 17:17, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No India Pakistan?[edit]

Surprised to see the series aired in India but no mention of the tank battle in 1965. 188.221.129.72 (talk) 21:55, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The whole series is a farce. It's a typical American history-by-idiots program, made not to be accurate or to portray a realistic perspective, but to titillate an audience of semi-educated history buffs who just can't get enough of seeing war footage. If the series were actually describing the largest tank battles of history, almost all of the episodes would be about various battles that took place on the Eastern Front during World War II. But they give the Eastern Front only a mention now and then, instead focusing on American and British battles. So don't feel bad that they've slighted India and Pakistan, you're in good company. --Saukkomies ^talk 00:35, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Without this degenerating into a forum discussion, at least there's more encyclopedic content in such shows than quite a lot of early WWII documentary fare. Listening awhile, you realize much of the words are rhetoric that could literally be used in any war setting, "the fighting was tough, but our boys won through", "every man in the unit knows his role", "it's all in a day's work for our fighting army".

Inaccuracies[edit]

It might be worth noting in the article that the CGI details are not always accurate, for example the Abrams depicted in the Episode on the battle of 73 Easting are modern M1A2s, as evidenced by the CID panels, CITV periscopes and bustle mounted EPUs, while they should be M1A1s.-Jcwilder (talk) 02:24, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

→the show is literally a joke. no effort was made for historical accuracy, just documentary footage, and dramatic translations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.86.198.145 (talk) 21:22, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
