The German tanks didn't come out of the factory camouflaged they were often painted with camouflage in the field as from the factory it was determined afterwards where they would be stationed so they were painted with the serial number and the iron Cross but not the actual camouflage as they could be sent anywhere and it'd be a waste of time
@@Himhimhimhimhimhimhim It's correct they weren't painted with the camoflage pattern from the factory, however they left their respective plants wearing a coat of either Schwarzgrau or Dunkelgelb(after Feb '43). The camoflage pattern itself was applied by either their crews or unit workshops using sprayguns(preferred) or brushes, brooms, branches or even hands. The scheme would usually depend on the theatre conditions or unit directions but could also simply be dictated by access to Olivgrün and Rotbraun paint itself. panzerworld.com/german-armor-camouflage
Panzer IV J. Didn't have the second small engine for turret traverse. If it did, it would have a smaller, second muffler on the rear of the tank. Very excellent looking, must have been a lot of hard work to restore. Also, that Sherman was an earlier model from early in the war.
Indeed, this Sherman is a M4A4 built in January 1943. It served with French Army and landed in the South of France in August. Not knowing its precise history for now, it was temporaly restored in American markings. A video of it here: ua-cam.com/video/5hmdFe2gYfc/v-deo.html
This Pz.Kfpw IV is a lovely tank with some issues with the engine as it is very smokey, indicating that it needs to do serious overhaul on the engine, probably need to replace a piston ring or worn out piston. Honestly I do not like the pattern of the camouflage and I find it too glossy and shiny when it should be far more matt or opaque nevertheless I wouldn't mind driving it home!
@Sawtooth Survival yes, I can imagine and to tell you the truth I really would love to drive it to my house! He can say all he wants about his bloody Porsche that anyone can buy, with some cash mind you, but I would love to see his face when I pass by. There might be some danger if he drops his jaw... lol!
@@kieranh2005 an healthy engine should never smoke that way unless is badly over revved when cold started. This is a typical sign that the engine badly needs an overhaul as it could be a ruined valve seat or whatever...
The Panther was my Favourite but the Panzer IV was also a damn good work horse of a tank. Not too heavy, it could go where the Tiger could not. The KwK40 certainly was not a bad gun.
Nope it is a J Version without the extra rectangular Muffler/Exhaust (for Turretdrive engine) on left side of the Maybach Engines Muffler/Exhaust, thats the external difference between the H and J versions, H with two exhaust mufflers and J with only one
@@mr.ratafak1664 no, reverse! J is the simplified Version of the H without the extra Turretdrive engine and only one exhaust for the Maybach, instead of the Turretdrive engine the J had an extra internal fuel Tank , google it or search in Books !
So as the war continued and the panzer fours were beginning to underperform on the Eastern front Hitler wanted a solution and he said that they should put that extra armor around the turret stating it would help tumble Russian shells when in all reality it covered quite a few viewports bringing down visibility from inside the tank
@@Himhimhimhimhimhimhim fake fake fake fake. The "Schurzen" were added to deal with Russian Anti-Tank rifle fire that could pierce the tank thin side armour.
@@SNIperofDARKness02 it also had the effect of prematurely triggering HEAT rounds from bazookas or making it harder for AP rounds to penetrate, by deforming the soft head of the AP shot or simply causing them to rebound.
Germans could have built 3 Panzer IVs to every King Tiger. The Battle of the Bulge may have had a different outcome if Piper had a more mobile force of Panzer IVs.
Love it love it love it. Cool as hell. I'm no expert as I'm well aware. But the side skirt's s Just look a bit odd to me ??. Still very cool. O did I say that I love it??
Patrick; side skirts were fitted to the hull and turret sides on the H and J (meshed hull skirts)versions of the Panzerkampwagen IV.The intention was to detonate incoming AP shells at a distance to the tank itself, and also prevent magnetic or sticky mines being attached directly to the superstructure
@@ctmalton1513 Right; that would probably happen.As I understand the point of the skirts was to make any detonation find place at 'an arm's length' prior to reaching the hull itself.I don't think the plates utilized was armour plate rather soft steel (please correct me if I'm wrong).Though the hull might not be penetrated upon detonation I'm pretty sure there would be massive damage to the running gear
@@localsheriff mate, the J version only had the side skirt on the turret, it was a total downgrade compared to the H version, the j version didn't have the rotating motor for the turret resulting in a slower traverse speed. Also, they didn't add the seitenschürzen for the heat shekels, they meant it to be used against the ap rifles, later they noticed that it was good against heat shells as well. The panzer 4 is such a nice and versatile tank thought it gets overshadowed by other big cats forgetting that the pz 4 was the real backbone of the panzerwaffe
@@spygineer1076, yes, but that tank in the video is a J model, did not have the traverse motor which would have it's own secondary muffler on the rear. Probably restored as an H, but really a J.
Well as the work continued the panzer for became a support tank as it was obsolete but if it would use used as a support tank it was highly useful still
Nice piece of German craftsmanship, a shame it's not in good condition (motor backfirering, muffler leaking). The French should take better care of what they have stolen.
Stolen? really? Would you care to compare the existence of a Panzer 4 in French hands to all the loot stolen from France during the occupation, such as art stolen by Hermann Goering, crops and foodstuffs taken by the Wehrmacht and the same stolen by the Reich and shipped to Germany and the gold and the possessions of French Jews and Resistance fighters and the appropriation of French wealth from the banks as well as the wanton destruction of French housing and factories caused by the invasion in 1940? Thousands of French men and women forced in forced labour in Germany. Did all of the above slip your mind?
@@turncoat2526 the panzer 4 75 mm can penetrate Sherman armor like butter but the Sherman 75 can't pen the panzer 4 frontaly, even at 1000 m the panzer 4 can blow up Sherman.
@@fallschirmjager0000 just ignore him, also, he says not bad forgetting that it was very good against Shermans who could barely penetrate it (mostly M4A1s) , as long as it wasn't the jumbo of course.
Most prefer the Tiger or Panther but the Panzer IV with the long barreled 75mm was my favorite WW2 German tank.
Especially with the spaced armour. Panzer IIIs look great with it too.
Those Panzer IV tanks were the real workhorses of the Wehrmacht.
They are pretty dope
King tiger , panther , panzer 1 , tiger and panzer 4 are my favourite tanks
I find it annoying that this beautiful masterpiece and powerful tank is being overshadowed by the big cats of Russia and Germany 😔
I can admit the germans know to make tanks look bad ass

@@Himhimhimhimhimhimhim Your right, but it was Balkankreuz painted on not the Iron Cross.
I did not know the term Balkankreuz for years, no worries.
What a brilliant job you have all done in bringing this Panzer IV back to life. I congratulate you on all the work you do .
Panzer IV looks a lot bigger with schurzen. Probably often misidentified as a Tiger on the battlefields of WW2.
WWII tanks sound like dragsters, even when they have mufflers! Love it.

Thats is the first question I have.

very nice

We own 2 of these beauties. In 1:30 scale 🤣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Telling from the emblem, this is the 2nd Panzer division tank.
Just like old times-
i didn't know stevie wonder painted camo in his spare time.
Best looking tank ever, end off!
Very good driver!
This is what a Panzer should look like! *Laughs in beautiful german engineering*
if I could buy one I would, but I'dd have to get the shorter turret
The paint on the the exhaust was gone pretty fast.
Ausf. H??
Awesome tank, but as a civil engineer it pains me to see them steel tracks driving on the asphalt. lay down some rubber ffs
Still kicks some Soviet butt.
This Panzer ❤
Best german tank ever made.
Is this the original or historical camo that exist in ww2? Or just random made up camo?

Uh speak english
Totallus Erectus ~ Besides the Panther! Xxx
I play on this tank in World of Tanks! Great thing!! Never heard it in real life))
Same here fast and hard hitting lacks armour, but I do kill Tigers with it.

Me encanta
I want one.
Not the most convincing oaint scheme but the tank look great otherwise.
They would have been way better off to produce more of these instead of tiger 2s and jagtigers

The fact is the camo was made using original wartime photo, so it's 100% historical.
