The Panzerkampfwagen IV was designed as the Versuchs-Kraftfahrzeug 622 in 1934 and went into production in 1937, and would fit the the short barrel 75 mm gun, and this would stay the same for the Ausf. A to F.
It would be a a support tank to be used to handle anti-tank guns and fortifications, it would work alongside the more numerable Panzer III in Panzer Divisions, but would changes it's roll in the later part of the war.
The Panzer IV Ausf.A production started in 1937 and ended in June 1938, it was similar to the B.W.I Prototype and production would stop after 35 vehicles had been completed, the Ausf.B went into production 1938 which had several changes to the A, with more frontal armour without a ball mount for the MG-34 machine gun, a new 300hp Maybach HL-120TR engine, transmission, single-piece hatches and commander’s cupola.
The A and B almost didn't have any external differences and it only had a improved modified engine, engine mounts, new turret ring and armored sleeve mount around the machine gun barrel.
The Ausf.D had numerous changes made to the front hull armour, and looked more like the Ausf.A, the ball mounted MG-34 was reintroduced and the driver’s front was fitted forwards again.
The Ausf.E was almost identical to the Ausf.D for only a few changes to the running gear, like a new drive sprocket, improved roadwheels, a smoke grenade launcher was fitted to the left side of the engine deck, two embedded hatches in the front armour plating, the Fahrersehklappe-30 drivers visor was changed, together with the split-hatch commander’s cupola already fitted to the new Panzer III Ausf.G, the front armour was again increased to 50 mm, and some had additional 30 mm applique armor added to the front and 20 mm applique armour to the sides.
The Ausf.F or F1, first called the F at an early stage, was the last of the Panzer IV that fitted the short 75 mm, it would again see changes in it's suspension, with larger track links, with new idler wheels and front drive sprockets to reduce ground pressure, this was done because of the new additional armour increase, like a new 50 mm front armored plate and a additional 30mm to the sides of the turret.
The Ausf. F1 would be produced to an extent of 464 units, until its replacement in March 1942.
