The Marder 38T is a German Tier IV Tank Destroyer.

The initial version of the Marder 38T mounted re-purposed Soviet guns, designated 7,62cm Pak 36(r). Later models were equipped with the 7,5cm Pak 40/3. The vehicle entered service at the end of 1942, and was produced until the middle of 1944. It fought on all fronts.
A great sniper, the Marder 38T excels when it can stay back and safe, while providing precision fire support with it's accurate guns.

Performance
Like the Panzerjager and Marder II that precede it, the Marder 38T is meant as a pure sniper, using it's excellent guns to keep enemies at distance, so as to protect it's weak armor. It has good mobility, and should not be afraid of relocating to a new position.
Keep in mind that the vehicle has an impressive rate of fire, but limited ammo capacity, so keep from getting trigger happy and make sure your shots are penetrating so as not to be wasteful.
