IV has gone through constant modifications in his long career. t.H can be called the most perfect model, which is reflected in both the indicators and the number of copies released, 3774. t. H conditionally classified into early, middle, and late type, the early samples of " H" are closely related to the late modification "G". Both versions have similar rollers and suspension. The armament consists of a powerful long-barreled KwK40 L/48 and two 7.92 mm MG34. Steel screens known as "Schurzen" (skirt) were introduced on the version Ausf. G and switched to Ausf. H. The engine Maybach HL120TRM also remained the same, but the modification "H" was installed improved clutch SSG-77.
