[About the actual vehicle]
German tank of World War II is considered a masterpiece tank Is the Panzer V tank.

The F-type, whose design was approved in 1944, had a major feature of being equipped with a new small turret, the Sumarturm, aiming to reduce the frontal area and reduce weight.
Production was scheduled to start in 1945, but due to the deterioration of the war situation, the end of the war was reached without production.

These units have been put into practical use by being installed in Panther tanks.
