Fabulous awesome composition, very accurate, realistic Panzer IV, impressive atmosphere and lighting, brilliant awesome render.
Magnificent Masterpiece of Finest Arts. I love it!

Thanks for your kind comment...

Very nice render although the historical accuracy is a bit questionable given your description. Not trying to be difficult but as a WWII history and weps afficiando I'll just supply the following tidbit for those interested.

The short low velocity 75mm gun (7.5 cm KwK 37 L/24) was replaced after encountering the T-34 medium and KV-1 heavy tanks during Operation Barbarossa in 1941. From early 1942 the new PZIV (Ausf. F onward) had the new hi velocity long barrel 75mm KwK 40 L/43 gun (based on the 7.5 cm Pak 40 L/46 anti tank gun). The vast majority if not all of the usuable earlier PZiV's were upgunned by mid 1943. More can be found at wikipedia Panzer IV page.

Thanks for your comment.

For the historical correctness please don´t blame it on me, but on RPublishing. The name of the model with the 75mm gun the used, is "PZ IV Europe 1942" so I took this description in the title of the picture. I read something about the change of the gun because of the T34, but didn´t look when this happened...

I love the movement of this scene, the POV could even be the view witnessing this--it pulls you into the scene. Very great composition as well. You paid a lot of attention to this little things, like the smoke... As far as historical accurracy I would argue for the against the others.. the Pz III and Pz had supporting roles at tmies and the low verocity 75 was more of a troop suport config especially in Urban scenarios such as this... you are clearly showing this in your compositon. Not every German Pz had a role of killing T-34s, given the "speed" of the scene, I would guess this is a small flanking action, against a hardpoint. regardless, Kudos.. very nice Render...

Thanks a lot for your kind comment - and by the way: my pictures are no history-lesson, so historical accurracy is not the main aspect. Just as you said, its about the action and the mood of the scene 😍

No problem, and if I remember correctly Micheal Wittman's Stug 3 with a very similar spec gun took out at least 6 T-34s during Operation Barrbarosa, by hittng the turret just below the gun mantle and "popping off" the turret. But I totally understand that just because a render has historical elements, does not make it a "historical" render...sometimes.. .it is just about the art :) All I know, when I first saw your render, it literally took my breath away... I kid you not

Thanks a lot and you nailed the point: Art, no history lesson! For something like the second people should watch "History Channel" 😄
