When you want to film a historical tank battle using alarge number of real tanks you have limited choicews. Where wouldthey get more than a handful of Shermans? Wherte would they get any German tanks at all? OK the Syrians had a lot of PZ IVs and the Israelis had a load of Shermans up until the 70s but I bet they wouldn't stage a Mock Battle for you lol.
