But "uh hu, we got permission to use 131 in a movie, so we definitely need to show it driving around!" With the museum's explicit restriction of not turning, as to save wear on that precious (it is!) final drive, so there you have it: an idiotic "leave-perfect-hiding-drive-fwd-drive-backward-and-lets-just-outturn-the-Fireflys-turret-by-turning-ours" game.
I thought it was a decent film until they massively jumped the shark in the last scene. Someone needs to do a "sane edit", then you can complain about the tactical accuracy.

>> Murphy mounted the abandoned, burning tank destroyer and began firing its .50 caliber machine gun at the advancing Germans, killing a squad crawling through a ditch towards him. For an hour, Murphy stood on the flaming tank destroyer returning German fire from foot soldiers and advancing tanks, killing or wounding 50 Germans.
