Just curious about the Panthers

I am sure this has been asked and answered but I have not seen it: Why does the Panther D upgrade to the Panther G rather than to the 'A' which would then upgrade to the 'G'
The games has the right dates and all for D to A to G it just does not follow that upgrade path.

So units with even older tanks get upgraded to Panther A

Historically the sequence was ausfD, then ausfA, then ausfG.
Read Jentz book and it does not say why the ausfD was before the A.
I`ve even asked the curators at Bovington Tank Museum and they dont know either.
The D`s mainly fought at Kursk and then withdrawn and faults (partially) rectified
The Germans should have put the Panther II in production in `43.
