    Thanks for watching, if this video got you interested in learning about more Panzer IV variants check out "Panzer IV and its Variants": amzn.to/3UKgkaC Don't forget to subscribe for future videos as well.
  • @marcin5165
    There were Shermans, Panzers IV, now it's the turn of the T-34 variants...
  • The recoilless rifle Panzer IV looks like something you'd see in an alt-history game if German vehicles evolved into the Cold War era.
  • Never expected he Hydrostat Pz IV and the Pz IV S to be a real deal, so is the concepts for some of WoT's iconic tank destroyers like the Waffentrager Auf Pz IV
  • @kentlindal5422
    "...Rather than a tank carrying a bridge capable of having tanks cross..." Me "... this one is a bridge carrying tank capable of having other bridges cross?"
  • Schmalturm mentioned I remember playing the Pz IV S on WoT and liking it so much that I created my entire online persona around it It's just a super cool looking turret design to me, especially on the actual Panther F
  • @ExekielPlays23
    I immediately knew that the Dicker Max, Schmalturm, and Brummbär would be here. Didn't expect the Waffentrager auf Pz. IV here though.
  • @Alan.jn02
    I was surprised that out of all of those I only knew of 10, 5, and 1. Thanks for sharing. I'm always excited to learn new things about history especially for military vehicles, tanks, aircraft, ships, and so on
  • Never mind odd Panzer IV variants, I want to say thanks as my Fumo arrived on Friday. Cheers dude.
  • Great presentation, missing one, but none the less effective oddball PZ IV: 'Fahrgestelle-Munitionsschlepper' variant to assist in ferrying/loading the massive self propelled 'Karl-Gerat Siege Mortars' Firing or lobbing a 60cm/24 inch, 4,780 LB mortar shell... 6 of the planned for/ordered 7 were built... -THOR -LOKI -ADAM (Later: 'BALDUR') -EVA (2ndly: 'WOTAN') -ODIN -ZIU Wonderful, well researched vids COA....
  • @luzifershadres
    Number 2 was pretty cursed and i never heard of it. But even if i would had knew them all, your good videos always deserve a like.
  • @horusfalcon
    I didn't take the bet. Liked the video anyhow. Many of these I had heard of, but this is the first time I saw photos of them. Well done!
  • @user-yi3bp4vu1h
    I love your videos, I just ate wings to like a couple of ur videos. Not only did i like but I also subscribed. Keep up the good work !
  • @ibeastee2435
    As a chronic WarThunder & former WOT player, along with being a huge ww2 history nerd and with watching a lot of your other tank videos I unfortunately know or have heard about all of these. However for the effort you put in your content you can keep my like :)
