As I understand it (having not seen the movie, but spoken to many who have), the internal tank scenes were beautifully done, as well as what it looked like for a tank to take a bit. But the combat scenes were generic Hollywood action, with tracers everywhere, the Germans unable to hit anything (German war-time studies found that Pak40s had a ~90% hit rate in combat under 1000 yards on stationary targets, with gunners expected to hit a moving target at that range by the 3rd shot at minimum. Since the tanks are basically driving straight at them without maneuvering, that might as well be stationary, and at a much closer range than 1000 yards), and the Pakfront they show can't hit **** it seems. It's not set up correctly anyways, German doctrine, as with any army, would have the AT guns sighted with overlapping fields of fire at angles to the enemy's attack approach, not shooting dead on), Germans putting up stiff resistance to the Americans in mid 1945 (more like surrendering en masse), and SS banzai charging the front of a tank with infantry who don't know how to use their panzerfausts. So pretty generic Hollywood action. If you really want a movie that does WW2 combat well (they do use modern tanks, but cover them up nicely with lots of camo netting and only showing them at night, so meh, whatever), check out In the Line of Fire: El Alamein, a gorgeously presented Italian war-flick from the 2000s. Kokoda was also excellent as a depiction of the jungle warfare in New Guinea between the Japanes SNLF and Australian militiamen of the 39th Battalion, who, outnumbered 10 to 1, managed to slow and eventually halt the Japanese advance on Port Moresby.
