It temporarily increases the damage done to a vehicle. So use it when you're fighting something heavy like a Tiger, or if you want to get the edge in a fight that would otherwise be 50/50. Bear in mind that it only increases damage done, and not penetration (iirc), so if you're not dealing enough damage to a target because you're simply not penetrating, it won't help you.
I'm not exactly sure, but i'm pretty sure it increases incoming penetration as well as incoming damage (I've noticed K-Ts get penned from the front by T34/85s as if the K-T was a hoe getting slapped up by the pimp that is T34/85s when the K-Ts under mark target).
It increases incoming damage on the marked tank by 25% (Which is huge in an equal engagement). It gives you an almost unfair way to very easily kill extremely heavy tanks. It's a pretty sweet ability for 80 munitions.

Nope, mark target only increases damage done, not the penetration chance.

The best usage of this ability is to place it on tanks that you are absolutely sure you will kill or tanks that you want the enemy to keep behind the frontline so you can advance forward. It's a nice combo to use it in conjuntion with artillery.
Never use it on retreating tanks that are already damaged and you have no chance on taking out.

You use it to kill hard targets, preferably by first ensuring they cannot get away, which you do by one or more of:
Mines
Button
AT Grenades
Swarming and Pinning
It doesn't stack if more than one player marks the same target I believe, and it applies to ALL damage not just yours , so you can throw it into a fight you are not even involved in

Don't know if it is a bug or a feature

I use it against armor that is as strong or stronger than what I have in the current engagement. It pairs very well with "button".
I like to mark target first to help me tilt the scale of the engagement. In the meantime I hold off on button but position Guards closeby. I button a short while after-- either to prevent escape, or to allow myself to escape.
Even if poorly timed, oftentimes Mark Target will cause a cautious player to retreat his vehicle and the plane will provide valuable line of sight that may warn you of an ambush or incoming reinforcements.
