Notes | The Panzer Mk. IV Ausf G was armed with the long 75mm KwK 40 as standard. Other improvements included the omission of vision ports from the turret sides. Later models had Skirt Armour (Schürzen) added to the hull sides and turret, mainly to protect against hollow charge rounds and some mounted a longer version of the 75mm KwK 40 gun. The Ausf G saw service in Russia, North Africa, Sicily and Italy. |
