Germany
- Panzer IV L/70 (V) Platoon
- Flames of War. As the war has turned against Germany, there has been a move to produce turretless Jagdpanzer tank hunters on the same chassis as standard tanks. The tank hunters can mount bigger guns & thicker armour than the equivalent tank, although at a considerable cost in mobility & effectiveness in other roles. The Panzer IV/70 takes this concept to the limit, mounting the gun from a Panther tank, & almost as much front armour, on the chassis of a Panzer IV that weighs little more than half as much. The result is an excellent tank hunter, able to destroy Allied tanks at long range while immune to all but the heaviest return fire. The Panzer IV/70 is usually assigned to support the brigade.
