Agree with you--the movie is mostly episodic.
I have some other minor complaints--Patton though the Ardennes Offensive was a diversionary attack at first, though the movie shows him at a meeting with other generals telling them he expected the attack.
The wrong military equipment was used, too.
As war films go, I like the stuff from John Irwin, and A Bridge Too Far.
