-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} German anti-air ferry {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.79 "Project X"]] in the fleet closed beta test.
+The '''Siebelfähre 40''' (Siebel ferry 40), or just the '''SF40''' for short, was a series of 200 shallow-draft catamaran landing craft developed by the Wehrmacht in 1941. Originally intended to be used for the planned invasion of the United Kingdom, it was later repurposed into a variety of roles. Ranging from troop transport, ad-hoc gunboat, floating flak battery, towed convoy escort, or even as a minelayer. Due to its simple design, the SF40 can be easily converted back-and-forth to fit with various needs. The in-game "SF40 Light" is based on the specific SF40 outfitted with four quadruple mounts of 20 mm anti-air autocannons deployed in Lahdenpohja on the Finnish-Soviet border.

-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.

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.
 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 metres 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 m, 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.

 The SF40 Light 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 the SF40 Light with this method. Aside from these points, survivability of the SF40 Light tends to be very high because of its size and large crew complement.
-Enemy MTB torpedoes can be a threat, but only if launched at close-range, where the SF40 Light 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, torpedoes can pass under the centre of the SF40 Light if necessary, between the two pontoons. Comparatively, greater threats are aerial torpedoes and rockets, guided bombs like the [[PC 1400 X (1,400 kg)|Fritz X]], and large bombs like the [[H.C. 4,000 lb Mk.II (4,000 lb)|H.C. 4,000 lb Mk.II]] or the [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]]. Because of the SF40 Light's large size and slow movement, it makes for a perfect target, since the SF40 Light's sluggishness may make evasion of these entirely impossible. Enemy aircraft should be prioritized.

 Because of its very slow speed, the SF40 Light 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 the SF40 Light 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, the SF40 Light 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, the SF40 Light can leverage its high survivability and overwhelm its opponents with firepower.
-The 20 mm Flakvierling 38 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 the SF40 Light 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 means frequent reloads), and the maximum range of roughly 2.5 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, the SF40 Light 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 the SF40 Light's range and gradually chip away at the crew. This is even further accentuated when faced with destroyers, since they carry much larger guns and are generally unaffected by the SF40 Light's own 20 mm cannons (albeit you would still be able to kill their crew off by aiming at their superstructure). 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 purposes.

 ====Ammunition Choices====
 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.
 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.
 ====Enemies worth noting:====
-* Various destroyers ([[Type 1924 Leopard]], [[Clemson (DD-213)]], [[Frunze]]): the Leichte has a chance to face early destroyers with high-calibre guns that can be very deadly. Furthermore, the Leichte will be occasionally pitted in a larger maps that will further worsen its range and speed disadvantage, especially in encounter/conquest mode where you will be pretty much useless as everyone can outrange you. However, in a smaller map in domination mode, the Leichte's range and speed problem is somewhat negligible as everyone is closer to each other and that the larger vessels have to navigate through shallow waters to capture the base and bring themselves into your effective range of fire. The best way to destroy enemy destroyers is to shoot at their superstructure and rear fighting compartment where most of the crew resides. The ship's superstructure is usually unarmored, your 20 mm cannons with HE belts therefore have no trouble to penetrate and wipe out their crews (especially with your dense cone of fire). Always keep an eye on damage display screen as it will show you which section of the ship is still left untouched before hitting them.
