A turret from another tank, the Pz.Kpfw.IV, was installed on the chassis of the ARV, thus converting the Bergepanther into a command vehicle. According to some researchers, this turret was fixed, and instead of a gun, its dummy was installed, allowing the space inside the armoured hull, free from the gun, to be used for additional radio stations and work with combat maps. It is likely that such a modification was made only on one specimen. This vehicle was part of the combat strength of the Schwere Panzerjäger-Abteilung 653, and its use occurred in the spring of 1944 in the area of Ternopil, Ukraine.
