Talk:Jagdpanzer IV

message: PaK stands for Panzer Abwehr Kanone, tank defense canon. Anti-tank gun. They were guns meant to be used on the ground in emplacements rather than mounted to a vehicle.
KwK stands for Kampfwagon Kanone, tank gun. These were mounted on vehicles. 
And so, PaK 39 was the anti-tank gun version of that gun, while the KwK 40 was the tank mounted version of the gun. SenorBeef 00:08, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, only tanks with moveable turret used the KwK version of the gun, all others used modified version, StuGs use StuK (Sturmkanone) and Jagdpanzer use PaK. --Denniss 01:08, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The new photo is of a prototype version that differs significantly from the production vehicles - should we consider putting back the old image or at least finding an image of a production vehicle rather than the A-0 version? DMorpheus 12:53, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

message: the whole article development makes no sense!
"With experience gained during the initial phases of the Battle of Stalingrad, in September 1942 the Wehrmacht's arms bureau, the Waffenamt, called for a new standard for heavy assault guns: 100 mm of armor to the front, 40–50 mm on the sides, wider tracks, ground clearance of 50 cm, top speed of 26 km/h and the lowest possible firing positions. The new Panzerjäger ("tank hunter") design would be armed with the same 7.5 cm gun as fitted to the Panther: the Pak 42 L/70. Initially a new chassis was planned, but that of the Panzer IV had to be used. "
1/ "Experience gained during the initial phases of the Battle of Stalingrad, in September 1942" - September 1942 saw Stalingrad being completely conquered by German Forces, there was no sign of the disaster of February 1943!
2/ "wider tracks" - the Jagdpanzer IV/70 (or what ever it is called in this article had the same tracks as the Standard Panzer IV (at least as a modeller I did not notice any difference in the width)
3/ Obviously the writer does not know the difference between a Panzerjäger and a Jagdpanzer: Panzerjäger = open fighting compartment, Jagdpanzer = closed fighting compartment
4/ Are there any references to what is written here?

replies: text: and now what do I read in Article of Sturmgeschütz IV: "During the Führer Conference of 19 to 22 August 1943, after the Battle of Kursk, Hitler had seen reports of the StuG III outperforming the Panzer IV when used in an infantry support role and tactical defence. Convinced that a tank-hunter version would be superior to the tank version, Hitler planned to switch Panzer IV production to "Panzerjäger IV" production as soon as possible. It was to mount the same 7.5 cm L/70 used for the Panther. Another manufacturer, Vomag built a prototype Panzerjäger IV with 7.5 cm L/48 gun and demonstrated it on 20 October 1943. It was later re-designated as Jagdpanzer IV Ausf. F. " - this article is different to what is written here! 80.151.9.187 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 11:36, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
