"Lang" (German for "long") distinguishs it from its predecessor with a shorter L/48 7.5cm gun. The long and powerful 7.5cm Pak 42 L/70 could outrange opposing Allied tank weapons.
  • Panzer IV/70 (A) (Sd.Kfz.162/1) - standard Panzer IV chassis + 7.5cm Pak 42 L/70 gun. (A)stands for Alkett, a manufacturer of the StuG III, that was ordered to redesign the Jagdpanzer IV superstructure to be mounted onto a standard Panzer IV chassis, requiring additional vertical steel plates mounted onto the chassis to counter height differences. Panzer IV/70 (A) was about 40 cm taller and lacked the sharp edged nose of the Vomag variant. Only 278 were built by Nibelungenwerke from Aug 1944 to Mar 1945.
  • field improvements - addition of armour sideskirts.
  • muzzle brake was removed for late production, as the gun was close to the ground, huge dust clouds after shooting would betray the vehicle's position.
  • Zimmerit was applied before September 1944.
