When did the Panzer tank come out in WW2?
Written By: Panzer, German in full Panzerkampfwagen, series of battle tanks fielded by the German army in the 1930s and ’40s. The six tanks in the series constituted virtually all of Germany’s tank production from 1934 until the end of World War II in 1945.
How maneuverable was the E-50 Standardpanzer?
This tank would have been very maneuverable, and due to its low profile, hard to spot on the battlefield. The E-50 Standardpanzer was intended as a standard medium tank, replacing the Panther and Tiger I and the conversions based on these tanks.
How good were the E-series tanks?
The E-series designs were simpler, cheaper to produce and more efficient than their predecessors; however, their design offered only modest improvements in armour and firepower over the designs they were intended to replace, such as the Jagdpanzer 38 (t), Panther Ausf.
How did the Panzer IV Ausf E change over the years?
The Panzer IV Ausf. E’s superstructure was identical to that of the previous Ausf. D. One of the few changes made was the introduction of a new driver pivoting visor, which would remain in use up to the end of war. Another change was the replacement of the hinge design of the glacis hatch doors, which increased protection.
