Tank description:

The Pz.Sfl. IVb is a German tier 4 turreted self-propelled gun.An SPG prototype equipped with a 105-mm howitzer. The original variant was developed in 1939 by the Krupp company. In 1940, some changes were introduced to the project. The first two prototypes were manufactured by January 7, 1942. In the same year, the prototype series of 10 SPGs was produced: 6 vehicles entered service, while the other 4 were used by the Wehrmacht training units.The Pz.Sfl.IVb is an excellent SPG due to its versatility, high ammo capacity, and excellent gun elevation and depression; it also has an excellent camouflage factor, making it a serious threat to enemies. To top it off, it can even fire AP rounds which can easily penetrate the roof armor of enemies and cause devastating effects, that is, if they manage to land on it. The downside of this SPG is its very long aim time and very poor mobility.The Pz.Sfl. IVb marks the end of its German self-propelled gun line.
