Panzerkampfwagen / Panzer IV Ausf. G mit langer 7,5-cm-Kanone (Sd.Kfz. 161/1) in Aktion (Stahl auf der Heide 2014). // German Medium Tank Panzer IV (Wehrmacht) in Action.
Der PzKpfw IV war ein mittlerer deutscher Panzer des Zweiten Weltkrieges. Anfangs nur in sehr geringen Stückzahlen hergestellt, wurde der von Krupp entwickelte und von 1937 bis Kriegsende produzierte Panzer IV mit 8500 Exemplaren der meistgebaute deutsche Panzerkampfwagen. Die Ausführung G wurde in den Jahren 1942/1943 in einer Stückzahl von insgesamt 1687 Panzern gebaut.

I know most prefer the Tiger 1 or 2 or the Panther but I liked the Panzer IV the best of all German WW2 tanks. Especially the ones with the long-barrelled 75mm guns. I was the German equivalence of the M4 Sherman or the T-34 in that it was a good, reliable, general purpose tank.

[@Beuwen_The_Dragon]

I've always preferred the Panzer IV over the later Big Cats, as they were simply exceptional vehicles. Highly advanced in many ways, simple to construct, were made of high quality materials and manufacturing standards (in early war at least) and were more than adequate to take on anything the Allies could throw at them, and remained exceptionally capable decades after the war. ^.-.^ If Germany had dropped the desire to build bigger more resource intensive Tsnks, and instead focused on Panzer IVs and Stug IIIs, they could very easily out stripped Allied Armour capabilities.

[@jorji6645]

@@Beuwen_The_Dragon well that might be an exaggeration saying that it was superior to most allied tanks, personally i'd say more or less equal to the sherman tank, though perhaps you could argue it could've lengthen the war or shorten it, really depends on how you see it. Though regardless Germany would've lost either way it just would've been a matter of time.

Wow I thought it would be a bit bigger and more intimidating. Then again, I’m used to seen modern tanks. No doubt at its time it was a beast.

[@Beuwen_The_Dragon]

One of the advantages of the Panzer IV was its relatively compact size compared to Allied fighting Tanks. The simple Bogie suspension meant the tank could be lower to the ground and had far more interior space than most Allied tanks. And the Exceptionally strong Engine was so compact, that the tank was also shorter than comparable Allied vehicles, reducing the need for longer armoured hull. Honestly, despite people's infatuation with Panthers and Tigers, or Allied Tanks, the Panzer IVs were one of the greatest general purpose tanks ever created, and were increadibly advanced for their time. ^.-.^

[@NorthCascades]

True. The one big downside about it is the armour angling

[@Beuwen_The_Dragon]

@@NorthCascades the Panzer IV armour angles were actually not as prohibitive as people assume. Much of the Armour was indeed sloped where it counted, and the Quality of Armour used, at least in the prewar/ early-Mid War Panzers was considerably stronger than Allied Steel. It wasn't until post Mid/ Late War that armour quality decreased and required thicker armour, slowing the tanks down and making them easier targets. If Germany had focused on producing only Panzer IVs and Stug IIIs, the numbers and production would have been more than adequate, and not strained German Manufacturing and Logistics so much.

[@pinmeister987]

Never realized the Panzer Iv's had Swastikas painted on the front of them. Until seeing the yellow paint over it.

It is in Afrika Korps Colors so it would have the Afrika Korps symbol under the yellow tape. There is a swastika on the palm tree of the emblem. Since it appears they are in Germany, it is illegal to display the swastika outside of a museum. They are a little touchy about those things.

German should have at least mass produce this and panther in ww2 Although they will eventually lose, it still make logical sense because the effectiveness of both tanks EDIT: Looks like my opinion is wrong because i did not put the german economy in the consideration. They cannot mass produce tanks like America because their industries were not as large as USA. and even though they can mass produce tanks, they still have a problem regarding OIL. Their synthetic oil and the imported oil from Romanian's Ploiesti Oilfield cannot produce as much oil as Texas alone

[@_shivesh_12]

Yeah instead of focusing on tigers, they should've made more panthers with much stronger guns and ofc some more agile machines

[@-Pathos-]

The problem is Hitler kept wanting more different bigass tank with bigass guns , making it hard for them to find and make the spare parts , they should've just go with the Soviet plan and just mass produce like one type of tank (T-34)

[@RoboPutinPresidentinCE]

How about more Stugs, you should focus on defensive tanks which aren't costly... So you don't need to be mobile, only have firepower and Protection

[@bryanmartinez6600]

@@-Pathos- German guns had a serious advantage over all allied guns ever built during the war. The 17 pounds was the best allied gun in penetration. Even the Soviet 85mm was way inferior in penetration, range, and accuracy compared to the German 75mm. Their steel was also very refined and higher quality than any others I think it was said that 10 mm of German steel had the same protection as 15mm of American steel or more of the Soviet steel. The King tiger 8.8 cm Kwk 43L/71 could penetrate any allied tank at a distance that the enemy wouldn't be effective to hit back. The Soviet Union did capture some Panthers but damn they screwed up not reverse engineering the tank. They could have gotten some serious tech out if them.

[@-Pathos-]

@@bryanmartinez6600 I have no doubt in the German superior engineering , but logistically speaking their industry can't keep up with the demand for all these variant type of tanks , the tiger is great and all but it's heavy and often broke down , instead of repairing it they just burn it then abandoned it because they can't repair it .

[@M_Alistair]

People were shorter back then

[@Beuwen_The_Dragon]

Old comment I know.. But the Panzer IV was an Exceptional tank in its day. Its simple Leaf Spring Bogie suspension, while not the smoothest ride, allowed the tank to sit very low to the ground, and increased the interior space tremendously, where most other tanks would have as much as 1/4-1/3 of the interior space dedicated to suspension. Ad to this the Engine was increadibly powerful for it's small size, and was short, allowing the tank to be much shorter in length than comparable Allied Tanks. So while small, the Panzer IVs were more than a match for most Allied Armour, and were far more effective fighting vehicles than people give them credit.

[@Beuwen_The_Dragon]

If you are referring to the 'box" at the back of the Turret, it is a Stowage compartment for the Tank Crew to store their kit and gear. Such as spare uniforms, boots, winter coats, spare canteens, rations, small arms ammo, personal effects, hygiene equipment, etc.. There often was not much space to keep personal effects and spare gear inside the tank, so the German Military co tracked for Aftermarket Stowage bins to be installed on subsequent vehicles and available for old ones. Which is why you can see many Panzer IIIs and IVs bot with the new box, and in their original configuration without. ^.-.^

With the KV 1 it was impossible to change gears while the tank was moving, so all traveling was done in 1st gear or reverse. This led to early burnout of engines on many occasions.

"impossible" you do know most crews that were in the Russian armored corps were trained a hour or less right? and sent from the factory to the battle? if not then that's why. the crews that had been around for some time had no trouble. little extra effort compared to other tanks but its not anywhere near "impossible"
