Additional Information
Pantzergasse at its meeting on 4 January 1944 approved the specification to the tank, which is a combination of Pz.Kpfw. Ill and Pz.Kpfw. IV on the leichte Panzer Jaeger chassis (later renamed Panzer IV lang (E)). As the engine offered time-tested and war Maybach HL-120TRM, coupled with the transmission SSG-77, reinforced output shafts and drive wheels from the Pz tank.Kpfw. III. The chassis included six support rollers with a diameter of 660 mm on Board, interlocked on leaf springs in pairs. New symmetrical tracks with a width of 540 mm with a Central crest were chosen for the tracks. Sloth — from the tank Pz.Kpfw. IV, but reinforced and expanded. The power reserve was planned to be increased by placing in the engine room of an additional fuel tank with a capacity of 300 liters.
the Frontal part of the body was redesigned — the upper armor plate with a thickness of 60 mm received a slope of 60 degrees to the vertical, the lower thickness of 60 mm — a slope of 45 degrees to the vertical. The tower is almost similar to the tower of the Pz tank.Kpfw. IV Ausf. J. the rotating electrical contacts at the base of the tower were excluded From the design, a flexible electrical cable was used instead, which limited the sector of the tower's turn to 270 degrees to the right and to the left of the longitudinal axis. Carried ammunition increased to a hundred rounds to 75-mm gun and up to 3150 rounds to machine guns.
In March 1944 Wa Pruef 6 signed a contract to build three experimental tanks Pz.Kpfw. IV auf Einheitsfahrgesyell. In June 1944 the decision was made to start the machine into production at Krupp-Grusonwerk since February 1945, but on July 12, 1944, the Krupp firm was informed about the cancellation of the program of the tank Pz.Kpfw. IIl/Pz.Kpfw. IV. Only the panzerjaeger mit L/70 tank destroyer was transferred to mass production.
