Description

GarageImage AF D3.jpg


The D3-class, AF D3 (abbreviated as AF D3) is a Rank IV German naval ferry barge with a battle rating of 3.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.79 "Project X" in the fleet closed beta test.

General info

Survivability and armour

Armourfront / side / back
Citadel0 / 40 / 0 mm
Main fire tower15 / 15 / 0 mm
Hull20 mm (steel)
Superstructure4 mm (steel)
Number of section6
Displacement440 t
Crew57 people

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 AF D3 as they can riddle the entire boat with shells and hit critical components through the armour.

Staying far from the enemies and attacking them with the 105 mm guns is the best way to improve the lifespan of the AF D3.

Mobility

Speedforward / back
AB23 / 11 km/h
RB20 / 10 km/h

The maximum speed of the AF D3 is 19.8 km/h, which is a mediocre speed compared to other ships it can meet.

Special armament

Main article: 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 so don't treat them as weapons with any reach.

Additional armament

Setup 14 x WBD depth charge

Describe the available additional armaments of the ship: depth charges, mines, torpedoes. Talk about their positions, available ammunition and launch features such as dead zones of torpedoes.

If there is no additional armament, remove this section.

Usage in battles

Try to stay at long ranges, where the guns and armour 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.

Players seeking to defeat the AF D3 will try to close in from a blind spot or when the AF D3 is occupied with other opponents. Use the secondary armaments to deal with these fast-moving boats as the main 105 mm guns would be too slow to react to new, close-by threats.

Modules

Tier Seakeeping Unsinkability Firepower
I Dry-Docking Tool Set 10.5 cm Sprgr. L/4.4 Bd.Z 20 mm HET magazines Anti-Air Armament Targeting
II Rudder Replacement Fire Protection System Smokescreen 10.5 cm Sprgr. L/4.4 Zt.Z 20 mm APT magazines Auxiliary Armament Targeting
III Propeller Replacement Shrapnel Protection Improved Rangefinder Depth Charges Primary Armament Targeting
IV Engine Maintenance New Pumps

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Good armament against ships and planes
  • Armour quite good when angled

Cons:

  • Armour quite easily to defeat if not angled
  • Angling armour only allow some guns to be used in combat

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 long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the ship and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Ship-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the ship's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media
