I think of the WT, only the Wt Auf E100 doesn't have some real world history...afterall Rhm Borsig, Steyr WT and Wt Auf pz IV were the 3 designs from the Waffentragger project

[@emanuelmorales83]

Waffentraeger pz4 was planned in 2 variants, 128mm AT gun and 150mm artillery gun. But was only a paper panzer and not the only one proyected on pz4.

[@ExekielPlays23]

I immediately knew that the Dicker Max, Schmalturm, and Brummbär would be here. Didn't expect the Waffentrager auf Pz. IV here though.

[@bpz8175]

I didn't expect the Sturmpanzer IV (Brummbär), because it just really makes sense for WW2 Germany. It's basically the original short 7.5cm-armed StuG III (variants A to E) concept updated to 1943. I honestly think the ultra-low Jagdpanzer IV and especially the absurdly armored and armed Panzer IV/70(V) are weirder because they're a new concept and just really extreme designs.

[@emanuelmorales83]

Waffentraeger was a extra development, in fact Dicker max was part of that.. WF pz4 was 2 configurations, TD and Arty. WoT game is pure fantasy.

As a chronic WarThunder & former WOT player, along with being a huge ww2 history nerd and with watching a lot of your other tank videos I unfortunately know or have heard about all of these. However for the effort you put in your content you can keep my like :)

[@kurbanica]

The modified panzer IV, with a Soviet gun, is still in the "Museum of combat glory", It received a fresh coat of paint, but I would assume that, a restoration wont happen soon, if ever, since the museum is or was way underfunded. Since august of last year the museum has been renovated, and I hope the same happens to the tanks there. If you are interested, next time I'm there, I could ask the workers for more details and the history of this particular tank. 🙂

[@emanuelmorales83]

That was a post war convertion used how bunker in Bulgarian border. In ww2 only exist a 4C with 85mm flak on him in 1941. And 1945 with 88mm on pz4H.

[@THX11458]

I would have listed either the Heuschrecke-10, Minenraumgerate-IV, or 5cm KwK39 L/60 Pzkpfw-IV Ausf.D instead of the Schmalturm Pzkpfw-IV since the latter was simply a Krupp proposal that was never considered for development, while the former three were all built as prototypes.

[@SMV-CC88]

5:42 Thanks Krupp for proposing this.

[@YeeMacghyee]

That rocket launcher one at No.3 is extra weird because the turret appears to be a heavily modified and rearward-facing regular Pz.IV turret, at least from the hatches on the side and shape of it.

[@emanuelmorales83]

The pictures are wrong, same the data. Was equipped with a rangefinger, not a lamp. And can shoot 6 rockets of 21cm, not 4.

[@popek445]

You could also mention Tauchpanzer 4 which is a panzer 4 variant projected for the operation "seelöwe". it was capable of moving on the bottom of the lakes, rivers and seas at depth reaching about 10- 15 meters. the same thing was also made for panzer 3

[@luzifershadres]

Number 2 was pretty cursed and i never heard of it. But even if i would had knew them all, your good videos always deserve a like.

[@seanmalloy7249]

The Landwasserschlepper has actually had two variants - the one presented is the Panzerfärher Landwasserschlepper II; the original Landwasserschlepper had a cabin like a boat, and was built on a different chassis, so the LWS II was an almost complete redesign.

[@horusfalcon]

you def deserve my like, saw a few panzer 4 variants i haven't seen, another awesome vid from cone of arc!

[@modelermark172]

One thing I find interesting as a long-time model builder is how many of these "Weird Panzer IV Variants" are currently available in conventional, injection molded kit form, (unfortunately, this does not include the first one shown with the hydrostatic drive . . . yet . . . .) A big part of this is that these 'weird' and "one-offs" are still pretty standard "from the waist down," making it more economical for model manufacturers to kit these unusual variants. Back in the day, Monogram Models not only had the Panzer IV, but also the Sturmgeschutz, Sturmpanzer, Panzerjaeger IV, and two Anti-Aircraft versions in their 1/32nd scale Armor Series. Tamiya and Italeri did likewise in 1/35th scale. But until recently, I never imagined that we'd ever see kits of the Dicker Max and Nashorn, (which have been available for some time, now,) much less the 8.8 cm Flak version, the Schmalturm and Landwasserschlepper, and others like the Dieselpunk looking Kugelblitz Anti-Aircraft version. And until just now, I had never heard of the Panzer IV mit 7.5 cm Rückstoßfreie variant. (Now, I just know I have a spare Panzer IV and some .040 Evergreen sheet lying around . . . .) Thanks for posting this. My Like is in the 12Ks.

[@emanuelmorales83]

The issue here is because the mix all date and proyects. Exist almost 100 more.. i am modeller of pz4 too and researcher for hobby brands

[@emanuelmorales83]

The "last discover" was 210mm mortar on Hummel farhgestell

[@emanuelmorales83]

The pz4 with mk101, 30mm was planned in 1941 (mockep hull is from a 4b recycled), but the proyect was closed. Many people see the mk101 how 103.

[@modelermark172]

@@emanuelmorales83 That sounds like a fantastic job for any modeler! I hope you will consider using your skills and influence to convince a manufacturer to come out with a conventional, injection molded kit of the Panzer IV Hydrostatic Drive shown here in this video. Also, though not a Panzer IV, another intriguing kit would be of the Panzer III ausf N als Schienen-Ketten Fahrzeug SK1, with retractable railroad running gear. I think that both would be popular!

[@emanuelmorales83]

I work for Border model (you can read my name in pz4H, instruction sheet page 2). Work too how advicer in AV Vallejo, and in 2018 released a book about Paper Panzer with AK interactive. In fact, i wrote the rules about differences betwen paper panzer, Panzer 46 and what if categories, in that book. Now about Hydrostat pz4 sadly not have market because only 1 was produced, but exist resin convertions and 3D models, same the pz3H railroad.

[@emanuelmorales83]

About Brückenleger system, sever prototypes was created under that program of development, starting on a 4A hull, begleitewagen, C, D and E hulls. Almost 3 types get production, some from Krupp was used in french campaign (14 builded), later converted at bergepanzer thanks at his internal crane for deploy the bridge. A Variant bridgelayer for infantry was created using 4 B vehicles, all loosed in combat or for mechanical fails. The rest was converted at bergepanzer. Magirus produced 10 vehicles, with a bridgelayer variant, and was used in Rusian campaign, later was used how jagdpanzer with a pak 38 mounted on, and the rest reconverted into standart pz4 hybrid type.

[@swappy89]

​@@Okuu__Gaming_1 Close, mine is the rocket one, the Russian one, and the bridge

[@emanuelmorales83]

Exist 100 more.. lol. Almost exist 250 proyects based on pz4.. some created a 0-serie of prototypes and some only paper panzer. Only a few have only a name and description but only that. For example a documment from march 23 - 1945, says "210mm elephant mounted on Hummel hull" and another documment from kummersdorf abt (who defend Berlin) showed a Hummel + drilling mg151.

[@senioravocado1864]

The SFX is goofy but I like it

[@Shadow_Lunatale]

That had some new ones for me in as well, good work Sir. Personally, my favorite Panzer IV variant is the D/H. Starting as an infantry support and ending up with more then double the armor in some places in a combat tank role, some of those tanks really saw the long road of world war II. It may be not a really good tank, more a medicore jack of all trades, but seeing how long it was kept in service and how many upgrade programs the Panzer IV ran through, including it's experimental variants, shows that it had a really versatile base design to work with.

[@edwardmorriale9358]

I didn't take my like back. However, I have seen these before. You are the only one to show them. They are footnotes in archives

[@JustPeasant]

One minor correction: Pz.Kpfw. IV was not a workhorse of Wehrmacht's Panzer forces. It's production run was chaotic/all over the place. It wasn't until 1944 that it's production peaked. However, even then, more PzKpfw Panther was produced in the same period. So, what was the Germany's workhorse tank? Answer: None. Unlike the Allies, Axis forces used what they had in quantities at that time and in the particulate theatre. This was the result of Third Reich's bureaucratic hell (Hölle, since Hell, Helles in German language means light, bright or pale, Hellbier for example), and constant focus shift.
