Panzer IV

The Panzer IV is the bulk of the German tank army during WWII. Its design is similar to the Panzer III but it has a better gun, and better armor at the cost of slow reload and less maneuverability. It was produced from 1939 to 1945. It fought alonside the Panther and Tiger tanks.
==Combat History==
The Panzer IV was not designed to fight in tank combat. Due to this role was done by its smaller brother, the Panzer III. But after the T-34 was produced into large numbers, the Panzer III and IV was innefective due to its 37mm & 50mm guns was not enough to pierce the Soviet armor. So the Panzer IV's role was to assault the new Russian tanks with improved armor and a long barrelled 75mm gun. It was proved effective but was still countered by the USA Shermans and the KV-1. So its tank role was partially replaced by the better Panther tank and the StuG III tank destroyer.
==In Endless War series==
The Panzer IV is just a slight improvement of the Panzer III. Arming it with a 75mm gun and two MG-34 machineguns. It is easily destroyed even by medium American tanks. It is encountered in Endless war 5 and Endless war 6 and can be driven in Endless War 7.
