&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Description ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- ''Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell us about the history of the development and combat using the weaponry and also about its features. Compile a list of air, ground, or naval vehicles that feature this weapon system in the game.'' --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:WeaponImage AGM-65A.png|thumb|left|420px|The AGM-65A missile (scale is approximate)]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{Break}}&lt;br /&gt;
The AGM-65A started development in 1965 due to the bad performance of the [[AGM-12B Bullpup|AGM bullpup]], which Hughes was selected in 1968 as the prime contractor. In September of 1969, the first prototype took flight, and in December of that year made the first guided direct hit. Production of the A model started in August of 1972 for the USAF.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|420px|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{break}}&lt;br /&gt;
The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a Rank {{Specs|rank}} German anti-air ferry {{Battle-rating|1}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.79 &amp;quot;Project X&amp;quot;]] in the fleet closed beta test.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== General info ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Survivability and armour ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--''Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armament separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips for preserving survivability in the &amp;quot;Use in battle&amp;quot; section.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''If necessary, use a graphics template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.''--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
SF40 Leichte has the following armour layout:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[2 cm/65 Flakvierling 38 (20 mm)|2 cm/65 Flakvierling 38]] gunshields: 12 mm, hardened armour&lt;br /&gt;
* [[3,7 cm FlaK-Lafette C/36 (37 mm)|3,7 cm FlaK-Lafette C/36]] gunshield: 8 mm, hardened armour&lt;br /&gt;
* Main turret platforms: 10 mm, rolled homogeneous armour&lt;br /&gt;
* Deckhouse: 10 mm, rolled homogeneous armour&lt;br /&gt;
* Hull: {{Annotation|15 mm|6.75 mm RHA}}, steel&lt;br /&gt;
* Superstructure: {{Annotation|20 mm|0.8 mm RHA}}, wood&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Notice|Steel has an armour multiplier of 0.45, and wood has an armour multiplier of 0.04. The hull and superstructure are equivalent to 6.75 mm and 0.8 mm {{Annotation|RHA|rolled homogeneous armour}}, respectively.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:SF40 Leichte internals.png|thumb|SF40 Leichte internals (starboard side)]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the SF40 Leichte certainly has above average armour for its battle rating, like many other rank I and II naval vessels, its armour is mostly negligible. Almost any weapon it faces can punch right through its armour without much issue. However, with its rather high crew complement of 42, SF40 Leichte proves to be quite survivable. With a stock crew, SF40 Leichte can lose 26 of its crew, and with an aced crew, this increases to a maximum loss of 30. In addition, due to its large size, the crew of SF40 Leichte is spread out, meaning that the loss of a single compartment isn't as significant as with smaller vessels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite that, there are a few notable weaknesses. The first is the central deckhouse just behind the bridge, which large, lightly armoured, and contains roughly half of the available crew. The second weakness is the four ammo racks, two in each pontoon. These are located one at the waterline below the front turret and one at the waterline below the back end of the deckhouse. These ammo racks are only partially underwater and, thanks to the reference points mentioned, are relatively easy to spot. Destroying these ammo racks is a quick and guaranteed way to destroy the SF40 Leichte. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside from the wood, the bridge of SF40 Leichte is unarmoured. Being rather prominent, this commonly leads to loss of control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Mobility ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--''Write about the ship’s mobility. Evaluate its power and maneuverability, rudder rerouting speed, stopping speed at full tilt, with its maximum forward speed and reverse speed.''--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Like all other barges in the game, SF40 Leichte is incredibly slow going both forwards and backwards. Because of its slow speed, turning is also extremely sluggish. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SF40 Leichte has a total displacement of 160 tons: above average, but nowhere close to the highest at its battle rating, despite its size and apparent lack of speed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Armament ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Primary armament ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--''Provide information about the characteristics of the primary armament. Evaluate their efficacy in battle based on their reload speed, ballistics and the capacity of their shells. Add a link to the main article about the weapon: &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;{{main|Weapon name (calibre)}}&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.''&lt;br /&gt;
''Broadly describe the ammunition available for the primary armament, and provide recommendations on how to use it and which ammunition to choose.''--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|2 cm/65 Flakvierling 38 (20 mm)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SF40 Leichte has four Flakvierling 38 turrets, each with four 20 mm cannons, in each corner of its rectangular deck for a total of 16 guns. Each gun has a rate of fire of 450 rounds per minute and has a magazine capacity of 40 rounds.  They each have 2,000 rounds of ammunition available, for a total of 32,000 rounds. With a stock crew, they can be reloaded in 6.41 seconds, 5.5 seconds with an aced crew. The turrets can traverse both horizontally and vertically at a rate of 40°/s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== Usage in battles ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--''Describe the technique of using this ship, the characteristics of her use in a team and tips on strategy. Abstain from writing an entire guide – don’t get try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought. Talk about the most dangerous opponents for this vehicle and provide recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of playing with this vehicle in various modes (AB, RB, SB).''--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Because of its very slow speed, SF40 Leichte will never be first to action in battle. Going full speed ahead, it can still take several minutes to reach the capture points on even small maps. How well SF40 Leichte does in the battle depends not on how many enemies it can find, but rather how many enemies happen to run into it. To maximize this, SF40 Leichte should be sailed towards the centre of action on every map right from spawn, whether that be capture points or likely paths that enemy boats may take. Here, SF40 Leichte can leverage its high survivability and overwhelm its opponents with firepower.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flakvierling 38 20 mm cannons are among the best in the game. Compared to other 20 mm naval cannons in the game, these have the largest explosive mass in the HE rounds, the greatest AP penetration with the AP rounds, as well as a  decent rate of fire and muzzle velocity. Altogether, this allows SF40 Leichte to quickly destroy any enemy boat with a single burst, especially since 12 guns can be brought on target at once. Two problems exist for this gun: the relatively small 40-round magazines (which, because of the rate of fire, means frequent reloads), and the maximum range of roughly 2 km (common for most guns of this calibre). The latter is a much greater issue. Whereas faster vessels with such a problem can evade or quickly get behind cover, SF40 Leichte is essentially a stationary target for weapons like [[Bofors L/60 Mark 1 (40 mm)]] or large-calibre cannons (3-inch or larger). Boats armed with these can comfortably sit outside SF40 Leichte's range and gradually chip away at the crew. This is even further accentuated when faced wtih destroyers, since they carry much larger guns and are generally unaffected by SF40 Leichte's own 20 mm cannons. Armoured targets may also be an issue, despite the above-average penetration of the 20 mm cannons. While the 3,7 cm FlaK-Lafette C/36, with its higher penetration, can be used against such enemies, it cannot be fired directly forwards, nor can it hit any targets within approximately 1.5 km due to its maximum depression being 1° above the neutral position. It's often better to just pepper such targets with 20 mm AP and leave the 37 mm for anti-aircraft work. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SF40 Leichte should obviously be angled in such a way that three of four turrets are on target at once to maximize damage. At the same time, though, it should be angled as little as possible. This not only shows as little of the side and as possible, but it also allows the middle of the three Flakvierling 38's to block the line-of-sight to the deckhouse. Protecting the deckhouse is vital because it contains roughly half of the available crew. However, if it has already been destroyed, angling like this is no longer so important. The other major weakness is the ammo racks, which cannot be removed by taking less ammunition. Close-range enemies on the side are a big threat, since here, it is easiest to hit the ammo racks, especially when taking advantage of the hit cam. Though ammo rack destruction is quite rare in practice, a knowledgeable enemy player can still quickly eliminate SF40 Leichte with this method. Aside from these points, survivability of SF40 Leichte tends to be very high because of its size and large crew complement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enemy MTB torpedoes can be a threat, but only if launched at close-range, where SF40 Leichte won't be able to evade in time. In this respect, long-range torpedo attacks aren't much of an issue, provided that they are spotted early enough. Even if torpedoes cannot be completely avoided, it should be noted that torpedoes can pass under the centre of SF40 Leichte if necessary, between the two pontoons. Comparatively, greater threats are aerial torpedoes, guided bombs like [[PC 1400 X (1,400 kg)|Fritz X]], and large bombs like [[H.C. 4,000 lb Mk.II (4,000 lb)]] or [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)]]. Because of SF40 Leichte's large size and slow movement, it makes for a prime target, while SF40 Leichte's sluggishness may make evasion of these entirely impossible. Enemy aircraft should be prioritized.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Ammunition Choices====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the 20 mm Flakvierling 38 guns, 20 mm HET magazines should be the primary ammunition choice, since it contains the highest ratio of HE to AP rounds and, thus, is the most effective against enemy boats and aircraft. The maximum range of the HE rounds is roughly 2.0 km, while the AP rounds can reach a little further to 2.3 km, though there isn't much point in using the 20 mm APT magazines for this purpose. Still, several 20 mm APT magazines should for the occasional armoured targets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The primary ammunition choice of the 37 mm FlaK-Lafette C/36, or rather the only one that should really be taken, is 37 mm HE clips, again because of the higher HE to AP ratio. While the AP in this gun is more powerful than that of the 20 mm guns, there isn't much point to using it against surface targets because of its awkward firing arcs. It is, however, fantastic as an anti-aircraft gun.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ship in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block &amp;quot;/ History&amp;quot; (example: &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;) and add a link to it here using the &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;main&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, as well as adding them at the end of the article.''--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In July 1940, in preparation for Operation Seelöwe (Operation Sea Lion), the German Wehrmacht required a large amount of ocean-going transport and landing craft for the planned invasion of Great Britain. With no suitable craft available within the Kriegsmarine, the task also fell to other branches of the German military. Design proposals were submitted by the Heer and Luftwaffe, where the idea piqued the interest of aircraft designer Friedrich Siebel. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He soon produced and presented a prototype, a catamaran made from two pontoons taken from an existing pontoon bridge design. The two pontoons were separated six meters apart and spanned by a wooden deck, with the entire craft powered by two aircraft engines. The design was seen as unsatisfactory due to its flimsy construction and low top speed of only 4 knots (7.4 km/h). Siebel produced another prototype in August 1940, this time with a steel-reinforced deck, the spacing between the pontoons reduced to 5.5 meters, and the craft powered by two BMW 6U aircraft engines. This version solved the stability and speed problems of the previous prototype, increasing its top speed to 8 knots (14.8 km/h), and was met with enthusiasm by the Wehrmacht. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Named after its creator, the Siebelfähre (Siebel Ferry) proved to be a rather stable firing platform due to its catamaran design and wide width. The Luftwaffe experimented with an anti-aircraft version, mounting various anti-aircraft guns from 20 mm autocannons to the 8.8 cm Flak 36. These AAA versions were planned to provide anti-aircraft cover for the main landing force in the invasion. An order for 400 Siebelfähren was placed; however, in October 1940, Operation Seelöwe was cancelled before the order could be completed. Nevertheless, in 1941, the Luftwaffe continued to produce Siebelfähren. These new ones, along with any that had already been built, would be used by the Luftwaffe and Heer as transport craft, minelayers, AAA barges, and gunboats in the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, and the Baltic Sea until the end of the war in 1945.&lt;br /&gt;

== Description ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--''In the first part of the description, cover the history of the ship’s creation and military application. In the second part, tell the reader about using this ship in the game. Add a screenshot. If a beginner player has a hard time remembering vehicles by name, a picture will help them understand which ship is being discussed.''--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{break}}&lt;br /&gt;
The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a Rank {{Specs|rank}} German anti-air ferry {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.79 &amp;quot;Project X&amp;quot;]] in the fleet closed beta test.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== General info ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Survivability and armour ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--''Talk about the vehicle’s armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armament separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Tips for preserving survivability should be saved for the “Use in battle” section.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''If necessary, use a graphics template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.''--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SF40 Schwere has the following armour layout:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* 2 cm/65 C/38 automatic cannon gunshields: 8 mm, hardened armour&lt;br /&gt;
* 8,8 cm Flak.36 cannon gunshield: 8 mm, antifragmentation armour&lt;br /&gt;
* Deckhouse: 10 mm, rolled homogeneous armour&lt;br /&gt;
* Hull: 8 mm, steel&lt;br /&gt;
* Superstructure: 20 mm, steel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SF40 Schwere armour is basically same as SF40 Leichte with changes around guns. It lacks armoured turret platforms so guns taken out with HE shells might occur more often. Besides armour, Schwere can be a tough opponent to sink since most HE shots will hit the deck with no damage to the hull. Also, the rather high crew complement of 47 (5 more then Leichte) makes it harder to incapacitate by killing crew, though this is still the easiest way to take out this barge. Clever captains will try to angle the ship to allow aiming 3 guns on enemy targets, but this also makes the opposing ship able to hit only one of the four ammo storages. Even though this storage is high above the waterline, hitting it doesn't happen often since the bridge in the center is a way easier target to aim at.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Mobility ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Armament ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Primary armament ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Flak.36 (88 mm)}}&lt;br /&gt;
The 8,8cm FlaK guns mounted on the SF 40 Schwere have a really good reload rate, accuracy and muzzle velocity thus making it not hard to aim and control. The access to distance fuse high-explosive shell and an elevation up to 85° degrees is really effective against big attackers and bombers flying high whilst flying slow. The reload rate is also making the SF 40 a really dangerous opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Secondary armament ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|2 cm/65 C/38 (20 mm)}}&lt;br /&gt;
The 20mm multi-purpose cannon with a fire rate of 480 rounds/min is very effective against small boats and lightly armored ships as well as planes in a close combat thus making the SF 40 also effective against light and fast naval and air targets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== attles ==&lt;br /&gt;
''Describe the technique of using this ship, the characteristics of her use in a team and tips on strategy. Abstain from writing an entire guide – don’t try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought. Talk about the most dangerous opponents for this vehicle and provide recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of playing with this vehicle in various modes (AB, RB, SB).''&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''Pros:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Powerful 88 mm guns can destroy a target with just 1 or 2 hits&lt;br /&gt;
* Can take quite a few hits&lt;br /&gt;
* Velocity and flat trajectory of shells makes it suitable to hang back and snipe enemies from +2 km&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Cons:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Not very fast or manoeuvrable&lt;br /&gt;
* Large target&lt;br /&gt;
* Lacks an AP shell for dealing with armoured targets.&lt;br /&gt;
* The 37 mm fast firing flak on the SF40 Leichte is replaced by two single 20 mm mounts&lt;br /&gt;
* Hard to get all 4 cannons on target&lt;br /&gt;
* Easy to torpedo or dive bomb due to its size and sluggishness&lt;br /&gt;
* Lacks a VT-fuze shell, only has timed and impact fuzes&lt;br /&gt;

The Siebelfähre was designed by Friedrich Siebel, owner of a lesser-known German aircraft manufacturing company bearing his name. Siebel’s idea was to provide the German army with a much needed easily mass-produced and effective transport vessel for the planned invasion of Britain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His ferry would be a construction utilising parts of Bailey bridges and pontoons, which would make up the two barges connected in a catamaran style by a wooden deck. The vessel was supposed to be powered by aircraft engines and could easily be disassembled and reassembled thanks to its modular construction, allowing for the boat to also be transported by land.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The idea was met with great enthusiasm from the German military, and an order for 400 of this ferrycraft soon followed. The order encompassed more than just one version of the vessel, however. For instance, some versions were specialised to perform anti-air duties and were meant to cover the landing troops from air attacks. These were equipped with light 20mm and 37mm AA guns up to the heavy FlaK 88mm cannon, depending on the version.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, before all 400 vessels could be made, the Invasion of Britain was cancelled, and thus the need for the Siebelfähre also disappeared below the waves. Nonetheless, around 200 of these vessels were still made before the order was cancelled and a majority of them found use in transport and mine-laying operations in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. The Siebelfähre saw use right up to the end of the war, and some vessels continued serving well into the 1960s as civilian ferries.&lt;br /&gt;
