| Subject: | Re: Differences between Panzer IV F2 and Panzer IV G |  |
| Date: | Jul 13, 2004 |
| From: | Miguel Jimenez | |
hello!!
well, both is practilly the same tank, but with small differences:
The G have a longer gun barrel with a standard muzzle brake. The F2 have the short L43 gun barrel with a Ball-rounded muzzle brake (same as some Stug III F)
The G haven't the side visor hatches in turret.
Any G have smoke system in turret.
Any late G have Schurzen i n the turret and sides. And any g are extra armored with thicker armore plates.
There are many differences in the fenders, about distribution of tools and details.
Anyway, I recomend you to buy the ATCHUNG PANZER about pzIV. This book is basic and very well detailed.
But Also, I tell you don't worry, because many, many PzIV was a mix of PzIVG and PzIV F2. You can see many pictures of a PzIVF2 with the long barrel from PzIVG.
Best regards
Mig Jimenez |
