General information

The Marder CLOVIS was a collaboration project between Germany and France. It was a prototype tank destroyer based on the Marder IFV. The project began after the successful development of a similar vehicle, the DF105, which was also based on the Marder and showed promise for further modernization. A significant innovation of the Marder CLOVIS is its new, more protected French FL-20 turret, which was developed in 1984. The turret is equipped with a 105 mm CN105 G1 cannon and a 20 mm CN20 F2 automatic cannon. Despite its increased combat potential, the Marder CLOVIS suffered the same fate as its predecessor. The cheaper, more affordable SK-105 Kürassier was in higher demand among potential buyers. Additionally, the Marder's hull was outdated by the end of the 1980s. Despite all the upgrades, it could no longer provide sufficient protection against modern anti-tank weapons.

The German CLOVIS was introduced in Update 2.45 "Hornet's Sting". In terms of gameplay, it is similar to the DF105. Its 105mm gun is equipped with decent HEAT shells and can destroy most enemy armored vehicles. Its automatic loading system has a reload time of five seconds, allowing it to emerge victorious from battles with several opponents at once. The 20 mm autocannon is extremely useful for destroying low-flying helicopters and lightly armored vehicles. Its decent mobility allows to take advantageous positions quickly, but it has poor armor protection. The only difference between it and its French counterpart is its camouflage.
