The Pz.Kpfw. IV hydrostat. is a German tier 5 premium medium tank.
The development of vehicles incorporating rear-placed hydrostatic drive started in Germany in July 1944. The chassis of the Pz. IV Ausf. G was used for the related trials. The first prototype was manufactured at the end of October 1944. Only one vehicle was produced.

Performance
Those who have played the PZ. IV H for a good amount of time will immediately notice that this tank plays quite differently, especially if one is used to using the 105mm Derp gun on the PZ. IV H. The Hydrostat has only 50mm of frontal armor on the hull, and as such is much more prone to being penetrated, even by lower tier guns. It also tends to suffer from tier 5 derp guns, particularly those mounted on the M4, PZ. IV H, and KV-1. Although it has a rather weak engine, it is still quite agile- with 40 deg/sec of hull traverse. Despite for cruising at the mid forties, one might have to run a straight line for some time, it is not quite a slow tank. It is quite capable of flanking maneuvers, but in a head-on fight it will fall to pieces very quickly. It is also adept at counter-flanking tactics- combining the 40 deg/sec hull traverse and 44 deg/sec of the turret, this tank can effectively counter any circle-strafers it may come across. The gun is solid, with decent accuracy and ROF, but the penetration will struggle against heavier armored tanks, and you may need to call on APCR ammunition to deal with them.
