Pzkpfw IV Ausf. G

Medium tank. Versatile frontline tank that can switch between armour-piercing and high-explosive rounds.

Overview
Armed with the long-barreled KwK 40 L/43, the Ausf. G was still outmatched by contemporary Soviet armour. Unable to mount the Schürzen side armour, the old chassis lacked the improved survivability of later Panzer IV models.

Armaments: 7.5 cm KwK 40 L/43, Hull MG 34, Coaxial MG 34, *Pintle MG 42, Armour: 80 mm, Role: General purpose, Speed: 42 km/h.
