I think it could be a premium or a hull variant.

That’s because I cut part of the page off that says Marder III and Marder 38(t).

The image is an older image I slapped together to show the difference between the two designs a few months ago.

Images from Encyclopedia of German Tanks of World War Two.

Interesting, I was always bothered that it wasn’t called Marder III or Marder III ausf H in-game. In the image you provide, I think it’s rather interesting that the one on the left is called a panzerjaeger, but the one of the right is still a panzerkampfwagen. Though I’m not sure if that’s something unique to that publication or an official difference.

It also gets WORSE gun depression. That reason alone is bad enough.

There is the Marder III and Marder 38T. The T is build on the same hull as the III but more time was spent engineering the thing to lower the gun down closer to the chassis and to lower the gun shield to lower the profile and make the vehicle less top heavy and less conspicuous.

The Marder 38T is technically a development of the Marder III and is also sometimes called just Marder III although I would call it Marder 38T as it is a noticeable improvement over the Marder III as originally built.

That’s a big upgrade.
It looses some armor (although that armor was useless anyway) for a more compact size. Not to mention it gets faster! I want the Ausf. M hull.
Although the ammo sounds a bit problematic.

Ausf. M was less armored, shorter, carried less ammo but was faster and had more horsepower.
So the hull is basically a downgrade (50 -> 10 or 20mm).

I played it like that for a long time, and after lenthy onsideration switched to the long gun this week. It’s pretty awesome really, no fear of KV-1s bounces anymore, and in T7s you can still kick ass… Though it is a little more dependant on your team. Sitting in cover and using your 50° gun arc is easier to do “alone”. Then you are a serious threat to everything you encounter with the long gun, but the short one excels in taking out lights and mediums that try to flank your comrades, though.
