About the German Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.H

The Panzerkampfwagen VI was Germany's most critical tank during WW2. It remained in mass production through the entire war, along with some 8,000 units produced, it represented more than one-third of Germany's entire wartime tank production. Whilst the backbone regarding the German Panzer Divisions, it was known as their "workhorse". The Pz.Kpfw. IV underwent constant enhancement throughout its long career, and Ausf. H, and/or "H" variation, is usually considered to be the definitive model, regarding both performance and produced quantity. 3,774 units outnumbered any other variation. The Ausf. H is approximately categorized into the early, mid and late manufacturing variations, therefore the early H model had a close relationship with the preceding late manufacturing "G" model. Both variations used identical suspension system and tires. Weapons consisted of a robust, longbarreled KwK40 L/48 tank gun plus two 7.92mm MG34 machine guns. Thin metal dishes understood as "Schurzen" (skirts) had been introduced on Ausf. G, and succeeded the Ausf. H. The Maybach HL120TRM engine also stayed exactly the same, but a better SSG-77 transmission ended up being coupled on Ausf.H. However, the extra weight of some 1.5 tons, due to added armor and increased ammunition, lowered its top speed to 38km/h, which proved 2km/h slow compared to G. The Ausf.H ended up being mass produced from April 1943 to July 1944.
