Later variant with larger 85mm gun required a redesigned turret.
The new turret was roomy enough for a third crewman in the turret to handle loading of the gun. A cupola for the commander was added. Electric turret traverse was added. Still in service with many armies today. This tank achieved a tremendous increase in firepower with little additional weight. The new gun was the equal of the German 88mm KwK. Over 50,000 produced.
