Tip of the day [1] - Marders - raz_atoth - 08-27-2012 A Marder costs only about 115 pts and it's an effective tank killer,if you're playing with the axis. It has the same gun 75/48 mm as a Pz IV (250 pts) and the STUG (300 pts) so this means it can kill pretty much any AFV the allies can throw against it. Pros: - It's cheap - Powerful gun. Cons: - It doesn't have a MG and carries only about 8 HE rounds, so it's not particularly effective against infantry - Has open-tops thus it's vulnerable to mortar/arty strikes - Thin armor which makes it vulnerable to rifle grenades,so make sure you keep it at distance from the enemy infantry. Best used against: - Enemy armor. RE: Tip of the day [1] - Marders - Weasel - 08-28-2012 I prefer the Hetzer myself. RE: Tip of the day [1] - Marders - raz_atoth - 08-28-2012 That makes two of us... But until we'll see Hetzers on the CMx2 battlefields....i guess we're stuck with marders ;) RE: Tip of the day [1] - Marders - Weasel - 08-29-2012 Duh, I never thought of that, thinking of CM1. I like Marders :-)
