Pz 38t/T-38 question...

[PanzerKing]

What Ausf were the T-38s in Romanian service? On the site it states that max armor protection was 25mm, but I know that from the Ausf E onwards this was increased to 50mm.

Also, will there be a profile for the Pz IV/T-4 anytime soon?

Thanks

PANZER 38(t) TANK weight 9.8 tons ; crew 4 ; armour 10-25mm ; speed 42 km/hr ; armament one3.7cm cannon and two 7.92mm machineguns. Based on the Czech CKD LT vz 38 tank, these tanks were built under Germanauspices under the designation Panzer 38(t) [t referring to German word forCzechoslovakia]. Fifty of these tanks, models A, B & C, were delivered tothe Romanian Army in May and June of 1943, who discovered them to be worn-outdiscards of the Wehrmacht, only seventeen being serviceable upon delivery (in amonth this had dropped to a mere eight). After considerable refurbishingoutfitted the 51st, 52nd, and 53rd Tank Companies of the Romanian Army (fifteentanks each) which were intended to form much-needed tank battalions for theRomanian 5th and 8th Cavalry Divisions, but pressure from Germany forced theirdeployment with the 2nd Armoured Regiment of the 1st Armoured Division, wherethey served under the designation of T-38 tank. Scheduled for conversion intoTACAM T-38's (q.v.) late 1943 but program never implemented. Remained inservice with Romanian Army for rest of the war, at least eight stilloperational in February 1945
