31.12.1942 informed WaPrüf 6 the company Krupp about the intention to continue the production of the tank Pz.Kpfw.IV (9. series B.W. - Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.H) according to a modernized design proposal, which envisaged a new hull construction with sloping armour (drawing W1462). The design envisaged an increase in the overall hull weight of 880 kg. The hull was to have 50-80 mm of frontal armour, the thickness of the front part of the bottom was to be increased to 20 mm. The sides of the hull were to be sloped in the same way. The tank was to have a standard turret with a standard 7.5cm gun Kw.K.40 L/48. The design also provided for an increased thickness of the turret, the sides and rear armour of which were to be increased to 45 mm for improved protection against Soviet anti-tank rifles. The tank was later to be fitted with all-metal running wheels and wider tracks. The tank was expected to have steering and braking problems due to the overloaded design.
The future of Pz.Kpfw.IV production was discussed at the Panzerkommision meeting on 17 February 1943, where the requirements for tank deliveries made any major modifications to the basic form of the tank defacto impossible. It was decided to continue production of the established design almost unchanged, and this design proposal was rejected. Production of the Pz.Kpfw.IV then resulted in the familiar form of the 9.series (Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.H).


Interestingly, this platform design was also to be used by Pz.Kpfw.IV mit 7.5 cm Stu.G.40 (due to the cancellation of the project, the familiar StuG IV design was to be used by Krupp for the production of a new assault gun).
