Contents
Description
The Waffenträger Wiesel 1A4 MK is a rank V German SPAA with a battle rating of 7.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Ground Breaking".
General info
Survivability and armour
The armour is very thin throughout the vehicle only able to protect from shrapnel of shells and small machine gun fire. Anything with a caliber of 12.7 mm or larger will penetrate. The external fuel tank provides minor increase in protection, but is still able to be penetrated by large machine guns. The interior armor provides minor protection to spalling and small shells, but isn't guaranteed to stop anything above 12.7mm if only going through armor. Two vents can be found on the tank with 5 mm of armor, one on the top above the radiator and the other in the middle of the left side, while not much of a difference, if shot at the right angle small machine gun fire can penetrate.
The driver and gunner are able to be lined up if looking at the front or from a slight angle, however even getting one will destroy the vehicle unless on a point with crew replenishment.
Armour type:
- Rolled homogeneous armour (Front, side, rear, roof, turret)
Armour | Front (Slope angle) | Sides | Rear | Roof |
---|---|---|---|---|
Hull | 8 mm (10°) Lower plate
8 mm (61°) Upper plate 8 mm (28°-67°) lower glacis |
8 mm
5 - 8 mm (33°) Upper plate |

8 mm (29°-55°) Fuel Tank 8 mm (47°) Upper plate |

Turret | 8 mm (61°) Turret front
6 mm (6°) Optic 6 mm (3°-7°) Ammo |
8 mm (40°) Turret
6 mm (0°-10°) Ammo |
8 mm (27°-39°) Turret back
6 mm (16°-44°) Optic 6 mm (0°-7°) Ammo |
6 mm |
Notes:
- 5 mm of internal rolled homogeneous armor
- Tracks, road wheels, suspension, idler, and sprocket are all 20 mm
- Fenders are 5 mm
- Mud flaps are 2 mm
- Parts found on side are 5 mm

Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Excellent acceleration and mobility
- Good anti-air capability
- Low profile, can hide in small areas
- Its 20 mm has a high rate of fire
- Access to thermals, night vision and a laser rangefinder
Cons:
- Almost no armour
- Can't penetrate tanks reliably
- Turret can't rotate a full 360°
- Its gun heats up quite quickly
- Poor gun elevation
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle 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 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></ref>
, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />
. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===
, also if applicable).
