The AEG G.IVk was another attempt to create a heavily-armed ground-attack and tank-busting aircraft. Five were contracted in the spring of 1918. 5mm steel plates covered the fuselage floor and sides and the engine nacelles. Though they made it to the front in October 1918 for trials, it is unknown whether they saw combat.
