| ? | The '''PzKpfw V-IV''' is a [[Germany|German]] tier 6 [[Gold Economy|premium]] [[Medium Tanks|medium tank]] that was available to the game's Medium Pre-Order Package, it was also briefly available from the Gift Shop before being withdrawn. It is based on a [[PzKpfw V Panther]] hull with stock [[Turret|turret]] from the [[PzKpfw IV]]. Many players think its similar to a buffed [[PzKpfw III/IV]]. It has great mobility, decent acceleration and is well armored for its tier. Its weakness, however, is that it has no [[Gun|gun]] depression, so in hilly terrain it is a large disadvantage because even a small bump can make a big difference in its ability to hit the target or not. As a result, it is best to fight on flat ground. Additionally, the [[Gun|gun]] is consider sub-par for its tier, so it is recommended to always flank and target the enemy's rear and side, or to resort to [[Ammo|HE]] [[Ammo|shells]]. | | + | |

| ? | From July to September 1942, MAN produced two prototypes, only one of which was fitted with a turret. (It is believed that this turret was taken from a Panzer IV with its 75mm KwK 40 L/43 gun. All future Panther tanks mounted at least the 75mm KwK 42 L/70 gun. This tank is the one listed above and is sometimes referred to as the V2.) These were extensively tested and proved prone to many technical problems. At the same time, a first order for 1,000 tanks was placed, with the first tank expected in early 1943. In late 1942, a small pre-production series of 20 tanks was ordered. This was the Null-Serie, or Zero Series. Those 20 tanks were designated Panzerkampfwagen V Panther Ausfuehrung A and were technically different from later Ausf A production models. All were lightly armored with 60mm frontal armor and armed with the early version of the 75mm KwK 42 L/70 gun. This gun had a single-chamber muzzle brake from the 75mm KwK 40 L/43 gun and was mounted in a turret that featured a drum cupola that bulged the turret on the left side. | | + | |
