I really dont see that much of a change in the design, so that it would be worth to remodel the unit... Can anyone pinpoimt me to any mayor differences?
I'm no expert but from what I can tell by looking:
Ausf. A - G Early:
1. Driver port on glacis removed.
2. Hull MG on glacis reworked.
3. Driver / Gunner hatch design reworked.
4. Squares and circles on the turret top (?).
5. Rear smaller exhaust panels.
G Early to G Late:
1. More squads and circles on the turret top (?).
2. Commander's copula simplified.
3. Slightly enlarged fan (rear)
4. Exhaust pipe covers added.

All that aside, don't expect it to be fixed, they don't care about the picky details that much. The Wehrmacht Panzer IV borrows features from several models, it's most likely meant to be a Panzer IV Ausf G though. On the other hand, the OKW Panzer IV Ausf J is modeled entirely after a Panzer IV Ausf H.

I seriously doubt relic is going to waste time on unnecessary cosmetic changes. Modelers are probably busy working on completely new units.
Yeah probably you are right,relic will not spend time do this.

Ausf. F
fav German tank +1, would donate 50USD for anyone made a multiplayer-compatible model swap.

You forgot the gun mantlet changed in Panther G late. It has a 'chin' sticking out because the previously curved gun mantlet deflected shells downwards into the roof of the hull killing the driver.

you mean shell trap, and yes I'd like the late G version as well, of course a F version will be indeed more welcome

Relic did a lot of copy and paste from previous game, at least they should fix something before they put in the game (I understand the late-2012 relic's situation) but things are getting better, they should revise their models since they can.
It's very noticeable if you compare the Wehrmacht Panzer IV to the OKW Panzer IV, or the Wehrmatch StG to the OKW StG, or the old American MG's with the new American MG's.

therefore why they just don't remodel the panther to G variant sigh

However with my MG42 LMG bug it probably will never happen...

Soviet M5 Half-Track (American M3 Half-Track)
Wehrmacht Panzer IV Ausf. G (Wehrmacht Panzer IV Ausf. J)
Wehrmacht Ostwind (Wehrmacht Ostwind, duh)
Wehrmacht Panther (Wehrmacht Panther, again)
Wehrmacht 221/222 (Panzer Elite Scout Car / Armoured Car)
Due to the whole THQ fiasco, it's possible they ran out of time and instead of creating new models, just used slightly updated old ones. Several other vehicles (250 Half-Track, 251 Half-Track, Tiger, etc) appear to have new models or at least heavily updated to the point where the old resemblance is gone, and the rest are new, having either not appeared in Coh1 or appearing in WFA (all new models).
