Not a brawler with the 75mm: it has less penetrating power and less DPM than the American 76mm M1A1, British 6-pdr Mark V, an.Inferior mobility to previous tier 4's with worse top speed and much more weight.

This tank is in essence a long range M4 Sherman, combining excellent accuracy with good gun depression, vision, and rate of fire. The tanks of this variant also featured side screens, 5–8 mm thick, on the hull and turret sides. A new transmission slightly reduced vehicle speed but was more reliable. G, and utilized a single 80-mm front glacis plate instead of layered plates. In April 1943 production began on the H variant-eventually the most massively produced version of the Pz.
