| − | The '''Artilleriefährprahm Typ D3''' (or '''{{Specs|pseudonym}}''' for short) was a variant of the MF Typ A landing craft converted into a makeshift gunboat after the planned invasion of Great Britain was cancelled. Due to the makeshift conversion plans between shipyards, each AF Typ D landing craft was outfitted with different kinds of armaments and armouring, such as different gun layout and extra concrete coating. The Typ D3, compared to the [[AF D1|Typ D1]], differed in its armament, featuring heavier 10.5 cm cannons instead of the 8.8 cm Flak cannons. In total, around 700 of AF Typ D of all variants were converted, and they were used either as an auxiliary minelayer towed along by destroyers, or used inland as a fire support gunboat.

| − | Introduced in [[Update 1.79 "Project X"]] in the fleet closed beta test, the '''AF D3''' is essentially the [[AF D1]] equipped with larger 105 mm cannons and slightly different AA armaments. The AF D3 generally performs well as a fire support vessel, as the 105 mm cannons offer a major firepower upgrade over the D1's 88 mm Flak, since it is capable of hull-breaking various PT boats with ease, and even capable of going toe-to-toe against early destroyers. However, being originally designed as a landing craft, the AF D3 is completely lacking in mobility, and struggles to handle multiple enemies at once. As such, positioning and proper support is the key to success in playing this makeshift gunboat.

| + | Although the armour is weak ( hull armor 15mm of steel and citadel 4 mm steel, in result is 40mm), the survivability is not that bad as it is a very long boat. If the engine gets hit, you fire back. If the guns get hit, You get to cover. But lets face it,its overall armour is weak. |
| − | <!-- ''Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately.

If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.'' -->
| |
| | | | |
| − | Although the armour doesn't cover the whole boat, the survivability is not that bad, as it is a very long boat with lots of empty space inside for shells to go through. It is thus important that enemies with rapid-firing guns do not get too close to the {{PAGENAME}} as they can riddle the entire boat with shells and hit critical components through the armour.
| + | So, the boat has just a little bit of armor plating, so its not goin to do anything for you at CLOSE RANGE. |
| | | | |
| − | Staying far from the enemies and attacking them with the 10.5 cm guns is the best way to improve the lifespan of the {{PAGENAME}}.

| − | Like other German naval barges, the {{PAGENAME}} has an abysmal top speed of just 20 km/h (RB) and very sluggish turn time. Due to the long hull design, the {{PAGENAME}} has trouble navigating through various narrow passages and avoiding obstacles and incoming torpedoes.

| − | The {{PAGENAME}} is equipped with two 20 mm Flakvierling AA guns placed at the bridge and stern each. On the [[SF40 Light]], these guns proved to be very effective against most targets the {{PAGENAME}} might have to face. Due to the gun placement and two fewer gun mounts than the SF40 Leichte, it is somewhat less effective due to less concentrated firepower. However, it is relatively easier to target, as the two gun mount were placed directly frontally and in the rear (as opposed to SF 40 Leichte's diamond placement), this allows the {{PAGENAME}} to hit the target frontally with relative ease.

| − | It might be tempting to do a broadside with the {{PAGENAME}}. Be advised, however, that the {{PAGENAME}}'s side armour is flat and became very weak when not angled, coupled with terrible mobility, this made you exposed to all source of incoming fire, including torpedoes.

and cons
Pros: good armament against ships and airplanes, armor is good when angled,
Cons: When not angled the enemy can easily penetrate you, when angled only some guns can be used for combat. Depth charges are rarely used as you are a long range fighter.
