<strong>The</strong> PanzerKampfwagen IVH differed from the PzKpfw IVG only in minor features, and late model PzKpfw<br />
IVG tanks are nearly identical with early H-type models. 1,687 PzKpfw IVG and 3,774 PzKpfw IVH were<br />
produced between Spring, 1942, and Summer, 1944. <strong>The</strong>se tanks were superior in both armor protection and<br />
firepower to the earlier models of this series as a result of an increased thickness of interlocked armor and the<br />
installation of a more powerful 75mm L/48 gun. <strong>The</strong> PzKpfw IVH was replaced in service by the PzKpfw IVJ,<br />
which was the culmination of the series.<br />
Options: Schuerzen armor skirts, PzGr 40 ammunition.
