Although the Panzer IV was deployed to [[North African campaign]] with the German [[Afrika Korps]], until the longer gun variant began production, the tank was outperformed by the Panzer III with respect to armor penetration.<ref>Perrett (1999), p. 34</ref> Both the Panzer III and IV had difficulty in penetrating the British Matilda II's thick armor, while the Matilda's [[Ordnance QF 2 pounder|40-mm QF 2 pounder gun]] could knock out either German tank; its major disadvantage was its low speed.<ref name=Ormeno48>Ormeño (2007), p. 48</ref> By August 1942, Rommel had only received 27 Panzer IV Ausf. F2s, armed with the L/43 gun, which he deployed to spearhead his armored offensives.<ref name=Ormeno48 /> The longer gun could penetrate all American and British tanks in theater at ranges of up to {{convert|1500|m|ft|abbr=on}}, by that time the most heavily armored of which was the [[M3 Lee|M3 Grant]].<ref>Doyle & Jentz (2001), p. 21</ref> Although more of these tanks arrived in North Africa between August and October 1942, their numbers were insignificant compared to the amount of matériel shipped to British forces.<ref>Doyle & Jentz (2001), p. 23</ref>
