''Talk about the vehicle’s armor. 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 maneuverability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armament separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Tips for preserving survivability should be saved for the “Use in battle” section.
+
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.

So, the boat has just a little bit of armor plating, so its not goin to do anything for you at CLOSE RANGE.

But because of the guns are laid at you can  do fairly effective broadsides at long range.

The Artilleriefahrprahm typ D3 (abbreviated as AF D3) is a Rank II German naval ferry barge 3.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.79 "Project X" in the fleet closed beta test.

General info

Survivability and armour

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.

So, the boat has just a little bit of armor plating, so its not goin to do anything for you at CLOSE RANGE.

But because of the guns are laid at you can do fairly effective broadsides at long range.

Mobility

Ammo information:

HE : 20mm penetration any range and any angle. Exeplosive mass: 1.55 KG

HE with base fuse: 50 mm penetration at 1 KM, 21 mm at 15 KM. Explosive mass: 1.55 KG

HE-TF: 20 mm penetration any range and any angle. Explosive mass: 1.55 KG

All rounds have a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s

Secondary armament

2cm/65 Flakvierling 38 (20mm), MG M 38 (t) (15 mm)

Ammo: 2000

Ammo types: universal (36 mm pen at 10 M, 17 mm at 2KM)

HET magazines ( 36 mm pen at 10 M, 17 mm at 2 KM)

APT magazines ( 36 mm pen at 10 M, 17 mm at 2 KM)

Anti-aircraft armament

37 mm SK C/30

Ammo: 2000 rate: 30 rounds/minute

Reload rate: 2 seconds

Horizontal guidance: +- 180°

vertical guidance: -10°/+80°

targeting speed: 17°/sec

targeting vertical : 13°/sec

Usage: AA

Special armament

Main article: WBD depth charge

WBD depth charge

There are 4 WBD depth charges on the boat.

These can be used as a close range weapon although they only fire behind you. THESE ARE NOT MORTARS.

information: Mass: 194 KG

Explosive mass: 130 KG

Price 40 SL for 4 depth charges

Usage: not that often

Usage in battles

Try to stay at long range, where your guns and armor work good together. At close range try to angle, the downside is you will only be able to use the front guns or maybe back guns, so long range is the best play here.

How to defeat this 105 mm monster?

try to be sneaky with your boat, if spotted you will be guaranteed dead, or damaged heavily.

So i recommend coming close to the ship as the armor is weak, only downside, you will get a shower or 20 mm guns and a 37 mm gun. The main gun needs some time to turn, so a quick execution is needed

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.

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ship in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.
