The Wehrmacht couldn't keep their hand off the production
designs, making changes constantly

On the other hand failing to change production had it's
drawbacks. Britain ended up producing 1,771 tanks that were only
ever used for training, the Covenanter. The Sherman was
continuously upgraded by the way.

A lot of the German changes were intended to make production
easier by the way. The MG 42 was introduced because producing it
required less man hours than the MG 34.
