It kinda leaves out that those requirements (portholes, amphibious, big gun, AGTM) were coming from the USSR's BMP, which had a different turret, hull design, and layout so didn't have to make such drastic trade-offs to add those features.

It also missed that when you make something that's kinda a copy of the enemy vehicle, its gonna look a bit like that vehicle, especially through thermal vision, resulting in 17 getting lit up by friendly fire during Desert Storm.

Wasn't this movie literally made by an assmad Reformer who was mad the Pentagon didn't take his stupid ideas seriously, so he made a movie slandering them?

Seconded. Amazing movie that will make you hate the military industrial complex even more than you already do

It's a fun movie but it's also full of bullshit. E.g. they have a scene where they are doing destructive testing and the protagonist discovered that they "cheated" by filling the gas tank with water instead of fuel. Completely ignoring that is standard because you want to actually be able to see what got penetrated which would be a lot harder if there where a bunch of secondary explosion and the APC was set on fire.
