Been playing this while also learning it’s proper effective playstyle. This Marder actually does well, the only reason people think it’s bad is because people use it in the front lines expecting to kill tanks with it. That’s not how it supposed to be used lol
My honest gameplay of it is that it should be used as a ambush vehicle/rat like gameplay while also dealing against CAS when the opportunity comes. Disable the heavies, insta-kill light vehicles, scout for the team if unable to take on tanks ya cannot kill, play defensive. It requires a lot of patience to play which is something a lot of players do not have.
Currently have a 1.8 K/D on the 1A3 (Including air kills too). Was a pain to use the first 40ish deaths due to being stock and needing the APDS to be able to pen effectively. Once I spaded it and learned it’s playstyle, was able to rack up more kills with it. So far have 63 games on it. Can probably get it to 2+ K/D if I continue playing smart with it.
Can you maybe give me some advice for the Marder 1a1? From my experience it just has a gun that fails to front pen BMPs and to side pen mediums. The missile is slow, you only have four of them and if any crewmember dies you can’t use the missiles anymore.
You have to play it as support tank. Don’t be on the front line.
Either try to ambush light flankers or other vehicles from a concealed position with cannon or missiles or stay back, scout and target early aircrafts or helicopter.
You generally don’t want to be alone, since you can’t really rely on your weapons to win a fight.
Disabling tanks by shooting their tracks can already be a great help for your team.
don’t use it, its just 0.3 br from the marder 1a3, which has a much better ammo (the apds), HVAP shatters on anything remotely slopped, even if its a paper mache wall, use the turret for anti light tank work, its for self-defence, don’t rush in, don’t reveal yourself, only use the atgm when no one is looking at you, its a good rat sometimes, but just keep in mind that recent changes made it so that if your commander dies, you have no more access to your atgms, i use it to fight xm800ts, but its not that fun tbh
came back since im again playing these brs and having MARDER on my lineup and no way they nerfed it more. i was fighting against a T-62 or smthing like that and when im about to fire my MILAN i realise i CANT. looks like now you cant shoot your MILAN if your commanded is dead, what is this bullshit gaijin? lol stop it please, this vehicle is shit enough
and if this was in game already it says a lot about this vehicle since i didnt found it till today cuz this vehicle is so shit it gets oneshoted most of the times agaisnt anything
