Usage
These are first availible in the Desert. They should be acquired as soon as possible for the Historical Mission. They're more than a match for all British Armor thrown at them. In Russia, they require extra care to knock out a T-34, and should be upgraded to the Ausf. G.

Specifactions

 * Primary armament: 75mm L/43 cannon, 87 rounds
 * Seconday arament: 2x7.92mm MG 34, 3000 rounds
 * Maximum speed: 40km/h
 * Frontal armor: 50
 * side armor: 23
 * Rear armor: 25
 * Top armor: 14
 * Primary weapon Damage: 77
 * Primary weapon penetration value: 111

Usage
This is essentially the same tank as the Pz IV Ausf D, except the barrel has been lengthened, giving the cannon a much higher velocity. This enables the exact same ammo to have a penetration value of 111, which is devastating on a medium tank. When entrenched, they are practically unbeatable by early Soviet equipment, and should not be underestimated.

Specifications

 * Primary armament: 75 mm L/43 cannon, 79 rounds
 * Secondary armament: 2x 7.92mm MG 34 machine guns, 3,000 rounds 2.png
 * Maximum speed: 40 km/h
 * Frontal armor value: 53
 * Side armor value: 23
 * Rear armor value: 25
 * Top armor value: 14
 * Primary weapon damage: 77
 * Primary weapon penetration value: 111

Usage
This tank is exactly the same as the Ausf.F2 but with a slightly increased frontal armor giving it that bit more insurance against smaller calibre weapons in assualt and defence situations. But this increase will not make much difference against the heavier armed foes, none the less it is still a very deadly medium tank.

Specifications

 * Primary armament: 75 mm L/48 cannon, 79 rounds
 * Secondary armament: 2x 7.92mm MG 34 machine guns, 3,000 rounds
 * Maximum speed: 38 km/h
 * Frontal armor value: 80
 * Side armor value: 59
 * Rear armor value: 25
 * Top armor value: 27
 * Primary weapon damage: 88
 * Primary weapon penetration value: 127

Usage
With its heavily increased armor all round and its upgraded L/48 cannon, the Panzer IV Ausf.H is the most useful medium tank you will have at your disposal. It is very effective in nearly all situations especially in assaults due to being fast, powerful and having heavier armor compared to other medium tanks. On the other hand its slower speed compared to other models somewhat hinders its mobility and its late arrival in the game does reduce its usefulness.
