This vehicle should be in the game because it was an important German tank destroyer with 1,143 vehicles being produced from 1942 to 1944. It has a 3 inch ( 75 mm) PaK 40 anti tank gun mounted on the chassis of a Panzer 38(t). Power to weight ratio of 10.5 hp/ton, max. speed of 26 mph on road, armour of .4-2 inches, a crew of 4, and weighs 11.9 tons. It is powered by a Praga inline 6-cylinder gas, water-cooled, 7,754 cc, 125 hp engine.Dimensions are as follows: length: 192 in.(230 in. with barrel), width: 85 in., 98 in. height.

From a couple of books that are beside me, it says it only carried 27 (ish) rounds for the PaK40, which was still only 75mm... and .2 inches of armor? I'll be in my jeep :D

yes but it can penetrate 5.2 in. at 1,650 ft/90 degrees with AP and with APCR 6.1in. at 1650ft/ 90 degrees. and my book says more around 36 rounds. and not .2, .4 - 2 inches.

Marder will not penetrate a Tiger, Panther or King Tiger from the front, It was a slap together tank destroyer for T34's and KV-1s.

Yeah, 6.1 inches of verticle armor at 300yds (thats VERY close range in AH). That only equates to 155mm or so. And thats with no slope at all. The King Tiger has 150mm of well sloped armor. At mere LOS thickness (less than effective thickness) the KT still has 233mm of armor on the Glacis plate.
The Panther's glacis plate has about 143mm effective thickness, and is pretty much impenetrable to the Pak 40 without APCR rounds.
Second, the StuG III would be a better choice.

So ugly it's cool. :aok

fine we can get rid of the marder III. Jesus, I'm trying to get in some more good ideas for once and you guys keep disagreeing with them!

Ask for whats best to add at this point in time. I mean i could ask for a Do-17, but it would be just dumb for me to do so. The He-111 would be a better EW bomber, would give us more variants we could add, some of which would be semi-competative in LW arena.
So while the Marder III would be a good vehicle to add eventually, it wouldn't be a good vehicle to add now, as it would see little use, and would be better represented in its time period by a different vehicle.

Stick to your guns Skotty don't let them tell you this.

Marder III would be a nice edition down the road, in competition style other tanks have some more interest, Su-100, Su-85, Jagdpanzer L/48 and L/70, I vote for a few british cruiser tanks just to get the Panzer III in game.
I still want my Puma scout car, nothing like doing 50+ mph and have a 50mm L/60 on an 8 wheeled vehicle to play with :D

when you post so many wishes people have a tendency to disregard all of them since none of them are being discussed properly. then you think you shouldda learned from the last time you got banned. then again it doesnt really matter to you or to the others who put you on a "pedestal" for "others" to follow.
