Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausführung J The Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausführung J, also known as Gerät 550 or Sonderkraftfahrzeug 161/2, was the last variant of the famed Panzer IV. It was produced from January 1944 to the last days of April 1945 in the Nibelungenwerk (Ni-Werk) factory in Sankt Valentin, northern Austria.

This variant was characterized by many modifications made to the previous models in order to speed up production and save on valuable raw materials.

Sturmgeschütz III Ausführung G The Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III) assault gun was Germany's most-produced fully tracked armoured fighting vehicle during World War II, and second-most produced German armored combat vehicle of any type after the Sd.Kfz. 251 half-track. It was built on a slightly modified Panzer III chassis, replacing the turret with an armored, fixed superstructure mounting a more powerful gun. Initially intended as a mobile assault gun for direct-fire support for infantry, the StuG III was continually modified, and much like the later Jagdpanzer vehicles, was employed as a tank destroyer. 

This particular model. the G variant of the StuG III tank destroyer comes with thicker armour of up to 80 mm on the front glacis and a 75 mm StuK 40 L/48 gun that gives the vehicle characteristics on par with a Panzer IV. With this cannon on a low-profile construction due to its casemate design, the StuG III G can prove to be a formidable vehicle in the ambush role.

Soviet T-34/85 

The T-34 is a Soviet medium tank from World War II. When introduced, its 76.2 mm (3 in) tank gun was more powerful than its contemporaries,[8] and its 60-degree sloped armour provided good protection against anti-tank weapons. The T-34 had a profound effect on the conflict on the Eastern Front, and had a long-lasting impact on tank design. The tank was praised by multiple German generals when encountered during Operation Barbarossa, although its armour and armament were surpassed later in the war. 

Replacing many light and medium tanks in Red Army service, it was the most-produced tank of the war, as well as the second most-produced tank of all time (after its successor, the T-54/T-55 series). With 44,900 lost during the war, it also suffered the most tank losses ever. Its development led directly to the T-44, then the T-54 and T-55 series of tanks, which in turn evolved into the later T-62, that form the armoured core of many modern armies. T-34 variants were widely exported after World War II, and as recently as 2010 more than 130 were still in service.

This Particular Model: The T-34-85 (German designation: T-34/85) was a major improvement with an 85 mm gun in a three-man turret. 

Soviet T-28 Model 1938 

The T-28 was a Soviet multi-turreted medium tank. The prototype was completed in 1931, and production began in late 1932. It was an infantry support tank intended to break through fortified defences. The T-28 was designed to complement the heavier T-35 (also multi-turreted), with which it shared turret designs. The type did not have great success in combat, but it played an important role as a development project for Soviet tank designers. A series of new ideas and solutions that were tried out on the T-28 were later incorporated in future models. 

This Particular Model is T-28 Model 1938 (T-28B) – version with the improved L-10 76.2 mm gun (from 16.5 to 26 calibres). Some older tanks were also backfitted with spare L-10 guns. The rod antenna replaced the horseshoe in early 1939.

A knocked out Syrian Panzerkampfwagen IV on Tel Azaziat, Golan Heights, 1967.

People familiar with tanks, particularly German World War II era ones, will know this vehicle, and some may be confused as to how it ended up fighting against Israel in the 1960s. In short, Panzer IVs were sold to Syria by France, Czechoslovakia, and Spain following World War II as those countries replaced the Panzer IVs with better, more modern tanks. Alongside the Panzer IV, Syria operated other ex-Wehrmacht vehicles like the StuG III, Jagdpanzer IV, and Hummel self-propelled artillery. In an ironic twist, these Panzer IVs would fight alongside Soviet supplied T-34-85s. The Syrian Army modified a number of Panzer IVs to be able to mount a 12.7mm DShK machine gun on the commander's cupola. They would fight in the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War, and like many tanks of these conflicts, some of them remain in the Golan Heights as rusting relics.

How often does a tank need maintenance? Are they built to last in the worst conditions, or do they require specific materials to be kept in good state?

It honestly varies. With modern tanks, they're designed to be reliable for long periods of time, but when they require maintenance it's often more of a job for specially trained engineers. With tanks of the WW2 era, they tended to vary much more. Early war tanks like the Panzer III and IV, as well as the 38(t), tended to be very reliable with few problems (although the 38(t) did tend to have a habit of throwing its tracks, but this was relatively easy to repair). These tanks were designed for the long, continuous advance that the German Blitzkrieg tactics demanded, so as such they were made so they could be repaired with minimal tools and training. The M4 Sherman and T-34 also followed this, being reliable and easy to repair. German tanks of the late war such as the Tiger, Tiger II, and Panther all tended to be much more unreliable due to the heavy armour and large weapons straining the engine and suspension. While they could still be repaired, their unreliability hindered their range, rendering the Blitzkrieg tactics that were so effective in the early stages of the war to be completely unusable.

There's also tank destroyers to look at. Whilst the StuGIII and JagdPanzer IV were both casemates on the Panzer III and Panzer IV hulls respectively, and therefore had their good performance and reliability, the Jagdpanzer 38(t), also known as the Hetzer, had an offset gun. This lead to one side of the suspension being put under more stress than the other, which caused performance loss on that side. While the issues weren't as severe as they were on the Jagdtigers and Jagdpanther, they were still there, which caused the Hetzer to have to be repaired more often than usual.

During the late war, the allies also experimented with newer designs, resulting in tanks like the M26 Pershing and IS-3. These were the allied equivalents of the Tiger, having heavier armour and bigger guns than the medium tanks like the M4 Sherman and T-34 that made up the bulk of allied armour. As such, they also suffered from reliability issues, however these issues for the most part weren't as severe as those that afflicted the Wehrmacht armour, due to the allies having access to far more resources with which to construct their weapons.

German Ardennes offensive scenes during Battle of the Bulge in World War II.

German Ardennes offensive in World War 2. These scenes are from an area where the German "Kampfgruppe Hansen," engaged elements of the U.S. 14th Cavalry Group near Poteau, Belgium, during the "Battle of the Bulge." Views of abandoned U.S. Army equipment and supplies. Abandoned armor and guns along the roadway. A United States 3" anti-tank gun abandoned at the roadside. A German Jagdpanzer IV tank destroyer (Sd.Kfz. 162) drives past. German soldiers sit under a wrecked United States armored car and smoke American cigarettes. German infantrymen walking past the scene. A German soldier distributes cigarettes. (Note: German gunner, with belt of ammunition around his neck, seen at TC:1:18-1:20, is Walter Armbrusch aka Hans Tragarsky. This image of him is well known. But his true identity is the subject of much speculation and debate.). Date: December 18, 1944.

Средняя Пантера и тяжёлый Т-4. О немецких обозначениях техники

Многие немецкие обозначения техники можно условно разделить на два типа. Краткие обозначения, вроде Sturmpanzer или Tiger H1, были чем-то вроде имён собственных, обычно их применяли в войсках. Длинные обозначения служили для описания. Например, Jagdpanzer IV – это leichter Panzerjäger auf Fgst.Pz.Kpf.Wg.IV mit 7.5 cm Pak 39 L/48, то есть лёгкий истребитель танков на шасси Pz.Kpfw.IV с 75-мм орудие... Читать дальше »

Kanonenjagdpanzer 90

Despite not having a chance in hell of pronouncing this things name I think the Kanonenjagdpanzer 90 would be a much better fit for my game than the Leopard 1A1 as it’s a tank destroyer which in the feedback was asked for as well as wheeled APCs. From now on I will be referring to the Kanonenjagdpanzer 90 as just the Jagdpanzer 90 as I can pronounce it and its easier to spell and was also it’s name. The Jagdpanzer 90 was closely designed after the successful tank destroyer of WW2 the Jagdpanzer IV which again if you’re trying to move on from WW2 why are you making stuff from or similar to things from WW2 like the MG 3 which is their standard machine gun is just the MG 42 with a different name and polymer stock. Nothing inside the Jagdpanzer 90 was from the Jagdpanzer IV however it did copy the hull to give it a similar appearance due to the sloping on the Jagdpanzer IV being very effective and them wanting this new tanks armour sloping to be as if not more effective. The Jagdpanzer 90 is armed with one Rheinmetall BK 90/L40 90mm and one coaxial MG 3. The Jagdpanzer 90s armour was fairly lack luster with only 12.7mm frontally but because of the slope it would have a higher effective thickness. The Jagdpanzer had a top speed of 43 mph which is pretty good for what it is and I would assume that’s because of it’s lack luster armour. The Jagdpanzer 90s turret traverse is none existent due to it’s lack of a turret.
