The Jagdpanzer IV, was a German tank destroyer based on the Panzer IV chassis and built in
three main variants.
It was developed as a replacement for the Sturmgeschutz III.
Officially only the L/48-armed vehicle was named Jagdpanzer IV and the L/70-armed
vehicle was named Panzer IV/70.
The Jagdpanzer IV served in the anti-tank sections of Panzer and SS Panzer Divisions.
These vehicles saw service in Normandy, the Battle of the Bulge and on the Eastern Front.
They were very successful tank destroyers but performed poorly when used out
of role as substitutes for tanks or assault guns.
It was also a needless vehicle, because the Sturmgeschutz III and IV were still more them
adequate for their role.and in some reports preformed even better then the Jagdpanzer IV.
Despite all the downsides of the vehicle there were still 2000 produced at the end of the war.
The Jagdpanzer IV/70 (A) was developed to speed up production of the Jagdpanzer IV, the design was copied from earlier German attempts to place the 7.5 cm L/70 into a Panzer IV turret.
The vehicle had a modified hull and it was placed on a standard Panzer IV tank chassis.
The upper nose plate was 60mm thick instead of the original 50mm thick vertical plate.
In addition the interior layout was changed.
The result was a much taller and heavier vehicle than the Panzer IV/70 (V) and they failed to speed up the production whatsoever and at the end of the war they only produced 278 vehicles.
