The Marder is a great option for your West German Army,
IRL
The Marder technically could count as the West's first response against the BMP vehicles. In comparison the West Germans forsook the large caliber cannon for a smaller 20mm gun with a high angle and rate of fire. The design has seen 5 service upgrades, and serves as the base for Light tanks, SAM systems and APCs. The Germans are phasing out Marder in favor of the Puma IFV which weighs as much as T72.
