<strong>The</strong> PanzerKampfwagen VA was simply a performance-improved model of the PzKpfw VD, with modifications<br />
to the engine, transmission, and exhaust systems. A new machinegun mount for the hull MG and a new cupola<br />
for the vehicle commander were also added. When production ceased in May, 1944, 2,000 PzKpfw VA had<br />
been built. <strong>The</strong> vehicle was subsequently replaced by the PzKpfw VG.<br />
Options: Heavy Schuerzen armor skirts.
