<strong>The</strong> PanzerKampfwagen IVE was replaced by the PzKpfw IVF series, of which the F1 was simply an E-type<br />
with the addition of thicker armor and wider tracks. <strong>The</strong> PzKpfw IVF2 had not only these improvements, but<br />
also a 75mm L/43 gun, enabling it to fight the better-armored Soviet and British tanks on equal, if not superior,<br />
terms. 175 PzKpfw IVF2 were built, and 25 more converted from F1-types, before production was halted in<br />
July, 1942, in favor of the PzKpfw IV G and H series vehicles.<br />
Options: Schuerzen armor skirts, PzGr40 ammunition.
