== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} German tank destroyer {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "La Royale"]].

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Tank-Armour}}

The UFP and LFP are invulnerable to heavy machine gun fire. However, that's about the most they can stop. The armour in the turret in front of gunner is extremely thin, at just 10 mm angled. It can stop rifle-calibre fire, but heavy machine guns will easily knock the gunner out.

Marder 1A3

}}
{{Specs-Card
|code=germ_marder_1a3
|images={{Specs-Card-Image|GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|ArtImage_{{PAGENAME}}.png}}
}}

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} German light tank {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Direct Hit"]].

The {{PAGENAME}} is an improvement over the [[Marder A1-]] with additional armour plates added all around the hull that should make the vehicle better withstand autocannon rounds from a distance, though close-range protection is still paper thin. The additional armour implemented on {{PAGENAME}} does make the vehicle slightly heavier than the Marder A1-, and while this should make impact mobility slightly, the differences in in-game performance is negligible. Armament between the two variants are similar too, with the {{PAGENAME}} retaining the MILAN ATGM and the 20 mm Rh202 autocannon. Armament differences lay in the APDS availability for the 20 mm autocannon and the removal of the rear-mounted MG3A1.

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Tank-Armour}}


The Marder 1A3's armour is minimal, even if a bit better than its predecessor's. Any calibre larger than light machine guns (7.62 mm) can penetrate the vehicle. Therefore you must be careful and not expose the vehicle.

'''Armour type:'''

* High hardness rolled armour (hull front and roof)
* Rolled homogeneous armour (hull sides and rear, gun mount, cupola)

'''Notes:'''

* Suspension wheels, tracks and torsion bars are 20 mm thick.

=== Mobility ===
{{Specs-Tank-Mobility}}


The mobility is very good with a top speed of 84 km/h both forwards and backwards. This makes you faster than most other tanks at this battle rating.

== Usage in battles ==
The Marder is best used carefully, since everything can penetrate your armour no matter what, the best tactic when hunting for enemy tanks is to hide behind cover and only expose your missile launcher or turret, since the crew are below the turret, there is a lower chance of them being hit. The Marder is highly capable of taking on air targets such as enemy Close Air Support and Helicopters. The 20mm gun is best used for air targets or enemy light tanks. Enemies worth noting are; BMP-1/2, their frontal armour is just angled enough to bounce your 20mm rounds, and they without a doubt can fire back. If played correctly, the Marder can be a terror to the enemy team for both ground targets and air targets.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Good mobility
* Respectable ATGM for defeating most tanks
* Equipped with thermal sights and laser rangefinder
* 20 mm autocannon is effective against aircraft
* Removal of the machine gun from the [[Marder A1-]] provides better view of the back
* Addition of the DM63 APDS belts increases the effectiveness of the 20 mm

'''Cons:'''

* Mediocre survivability
* Poor gun depression of the ATGM Launcher limits close-range effectiveness when firing from behind hills
* The 20 mm gun penetration performance makes it unlikely to common ground units faced except the thinnest armoured ones
* Large profile
* Only carries 4 ATGMs

Marder 1A3

{{Specs-Card

|images={{Specs-Card-Image|GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|ArtImage_{{PAGENAME}}.png}}
}}

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} German light tank {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Direct Hit"]].

The {{PAGENAME}} is an improvement over the [[Marder A1-]] with additional armour plates added all around the hull that should make the vehicle better withstand autocannon rounds from a distance, though close-range protection is still paper thin. The additional armour implemented on {{PAGENAME}} does make the vehicle slightly heavier than the Marder A1-, and while this should make impact mobility slightly, the differences in in-game performance is negligible. Armament between the two variants are similar too, with the {{PAGENAME}} retaining the MILAN ATGM and the 20 mm Rh202 autocannon. Armament differences lay in the APDS availability for the 20 mm autocannon and the removal of the rear-mounted MG3A1.

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Tank-Armour}}


The Marder 1A3's armour is minimal, even if a bit better than its predecessor's. Any calibre larger than light machine guns (7.62 mm) can penetrate the vehicle. Therefore you must be careful and not expose the vehicle.

'''Armour type:'''

* High hardness rolled armour (hull front and roof)
* Rolled homogeneous armour (hull sides and rear, gun mount, cupola)

|-

'''Notes:'''

* Suspension wheels, tracks and torsion bars are 20 mm thick.

=== Mobility ===
{{Specs-Tank-Mobility}}


The mobility is very good with a top speed of 84 km/h both forwards and backwards. This makes you faster than most other tanks at this battle rating.
