JagdPanzer IV

As the Panzer IV Ausf A3 proved unmatched for some UEF tanks on the offensive, the Cybran Heer decided they needed a line of tank destroyers, suitable for destroying the heavier of the UEF Tanks. The Cybrans were taking heavy losses due to the super heavy tanks of the UEF until the Jagdpanzer IV appeared from a small company on Caspain XII.

Design
On the planet Kisoa, where the U EF headquarters was, before the Cybrans took it with force, the Panzer IVs were taking heavy losses due to the lack of fire power in the first few tanks that was fields on Kisoa. The Cybran Heer decided that a new tank destroyer was needed, capable of destroying heavy UEF tanks. They requested for ideas and a small company called Messurshipe, quickly produced a prototype after buying a Panzer IV Ausf A2. Armed with a 8.8cm StuD97/62 at first, along with a MJ67, the first prototype went through ten engines before successfully creating a Tank Destroyer capable of destroying a UEF Heavy tank.

Variants
The variants of the Jagdpanzer IV are small in number, mainly varianting on engine power, and gun type. There is also a few variants which are different in the armour rating of the tank, depending on the planet of which the tank is to be fielded on. There are a number of Regiments that ask for a certain type of Gun, Engine or armour. The regiments all have a mass of tank destroyers to support the main battle tanks but there are only around three per infantry regiment.

Ausf A1
The Ausf A1 was armed with the 8.8cm StuD97/63, an MJ67 heavy machine gun, and a standard issue assualt rifle handed out by the Cybran Heer. With 88mm of armour on the sides and rear with a frontal armour rating of 120mm, the Jagdpanzer IV is a suitable tank destroyer capable to destroy targets at a long range using the 8.8cm StuD97/63.

The Ausf A1 was mainly used on the frontal assault on Kisoa, supporting Panzer IVs and infantry as they made the last push towards the UEF HQ.
