Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. G - Panzerkampfwagen IV

The Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausführung G (Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. G) was a major development of the German medium battle tank and was used by the Wehrmacht during World War II. The Ausf. G was equipped with an improved 7.5 cm KwK 40 L/43 cannon, which had significantly higher penetration power and enabled the tank to compete against heavily armored enemy vehicles such as the Soviet T-34 and the KV-1. In addition, the armor was reinforced at the front, making the Ausf. G more robust than its predecessors.
