Panzer 4 H
The Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausführung H / Panzer 4 H is a medium tank designed by Nazi Germany during the second world war. Introduced in 1943, The vehicle was most well-known for its side armour, the fact it was German, and the unique material it was made out of. This armoured fighting vehicle was one of the most produced German tanks during the war. It played multiple key roles during WWII. It also looked super cool, like, look at it man! Its so cool.

Fire Power[edit | edit source]
The Panzer 4 H housed a 75 mm KwK40L48 cannon, and maybe two 7.92 mm MGS3 machine guns. The vehicle housed 86 seashells for recreational use, and 87 shells for tank-to-tank battle. The shells were usually HEAT (high explosive anti-tank.) the shells themselves were filled with Germainium-zwei, and pixie dust from grounded up German pixies. The gun paired with the shell gave the Panzer 4 H a penetration capability of 1086 mm. This gave the Panzer 4 H unmatched fire power on the battlefield.

Armour[edit | edit source]
The armour on the Panzer 4 H was not made of harden steel, as some unintelligent ghouls might think. The tank was made of the alloy Germainium-zwei. Just one inch of Germainium-zwei equals to 986.8222223 mm of harden steel. This gave the vehicle nearly unmatched protection, only rivalled by the Soviets. The armour was also covered in Zimmerit anti-magnetic mine paste to make the armour look cooler.

Germainium-zwei[edit | edit source]
The alloy Germainium-zwei is extremely strong and lightweight, making it a great choice when developing an armoured vehicle. It was a mixture of germanium, pixie dust, a bundle of sticks from a Douglas fur tree with an axe made of Play-Doh, and the blood of Allied troops.
The alloy was discovered by Clemens Winkler in 1940 after eating 86 Panzerschokolade in the span of 12 minutes. Eye witness reports say he ran all the way to the war front and killed 86 allied troops, stole their blood, kidnapped multiple pixies and grounded them up into a fine powder, and ran into the forest. He was not seen for 86 hours. When he was discovered by police, he was forging an ingot out of all the ingredients he had collected inside of a secluded cabin. When questioned by police he said,
"Das ist mein neues Metall, Ge-" -Clemens Winkler.
He was hit over the head by an officer before finishing his sentence. In the cabin the officers found:
- 86 metal pipes
- a forge capable of reaching 86,000 degrees Celsius
- a concerning amount of sticks
- 42.8 grams of methamphetamine
- a piece of paper with delusional scribbling
- a ingot made of really newly discovered Germainium-zwei
During the search of the cabin, Clemens Winkler woke up and immediately killed 2 officers single handedly. Literally. He was then shot 86 times by the 3 remaining officers. He was then rushed to the hospital, and survived. Clemens Winkler was then awarded the Nobel War prize by then dictator Adolf Hitler. Germainium-zwei was then used in almost every Panzer design until 1944, when the German pixie population went extincted due to over hunting.
Engine[edit | edit source]
The engine in the Panzer 4 H was the Maybach HL 120 TRM liquid asbestos engine. Maybe giving the tank about 601 horsepower, give or take. Nothing compared to a horses power of 9,273,465,102. For this engine, the vehicle housed 750 L of fuel, also give or take. Here's another list of crap:
- Forward speed of 78 km/h
- Backward speed of 14 km/h
- A power-to-weight ratio of figure-it-out-yourself.
- A weight of 26.86 tons.
With the fast speed of the tank, this gave the nazis enhanced mobility compared to a snail. Some of the tanks had the normal Maybach HL 120 TRM gasoline engine. This is because some of the factory's that made them didn’t get the memo. These inferior engines only had 300 hp
As the name of the Maybach HL 120 TRM liquid asbestos engine implies, it uses liquid asbestos as fuel instead of gasoline or petrol or diesel or coal or natural gas or unnatural gas or uranium or wood. Liquid asbestos was 2X more uhh… more! Making it a better option over the usual gasoline. In 1786, John Smith discovered that liquid asbestos was great at being fuel. And for discovering this great discovery, he was assassinated by Big Coal to prevent bankruptcy. In 1932, his notes were discovered and now we have liquid asbestos fuel. Bestes asbestos was also known to be used in the engine itself later in the war when other materials were low.
Transmission[edit | edit source]
This tank needed a good transmission. And so they gave it a Synchromesh ZF SSG 77 transmission. It was a 6-speed forward 1-reverse synchromeshźimerwacherœgosberger. It was widely regarded as a reliable, relatively simple transmission. Giving the tank a bit of an advantage over later German tanks, as their transmissions are usually really bad and too complex to fix.
Design History[edit | edit source]
Þe Panzerkampfwagenfragenmachińnegeweginŵöffer IV Ausführung H was designed by the Krupp company. When designing the tank, the designing designers decided to use Germainium-zwei instead of harden steel. This idea came from one of the designers, who had heard of the strength the alloy had. Half way through development, one of the designers accidentally destroyed the blueprint for the engine. As punishment, he was forced to drink 1 L of liquid asbestos. He died 13 seconds after drinking it. This inspired the designers to give the tank a liquid asbestos engine.
