Unlike the armour, the mobility is very good with 84 k/h both forwards and backwards. This makes you faster than most other tanks at this battle rating, meaning if your armour can`t save you, your mobility can.

Marder 1A3

Description

The Marder 1A3 is a rank German light tank with a battle rating of (AB), (RB), and (SB). It was introduced in Update "Direct Hit".

General info

Survivability and 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)
Armour Front (Slope angle) Sides Rear Roof
Hull 8 mm (77°) Upper plate
32 mm (21-58°) Lower plate 		15 + 8 mm (33°)Top
15 + 5 mm Bottom 		11 mm (22°) Rear plate and hatch
5 mm (22°) Vents 		8 mm (13°) Engine compartment
8 mm Crew compartment
Gun mount 20 mm (38°) Base front 20 + 15 mm 11-20 mm 11 mm
Cupola 11 mm 11 mm 11 mm 11 mm

Notes:

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

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

Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Good mobility
  • Powerful ATGM
  • Equipped with thermal sights
  • Good against aircraft

Cons:

  • Mediocre survivability

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
