Hello everyone,
大家嚎，  

so, tomorrow, we are going to recieve the Wargaming Type 97 Te-Ke as a reward (nice to see that the yesterday’s event leak was accurate, which means the rest of it (events in entire August) likely also are).
所以说明天我们就能拿到WG的九七式軽装甲車 テケ（后文采取国服译法简称九七轻战，不再复述—译注）作为奖励了（这证明了昨天的泄露出的活动都是真的，也就意味着剩下的部分（八月上旬的活动）也都是真的） 

At first glance, it looks like a solid tier 2 tank. Thanks god it doesn’t have a “spitter” machinegun, but a relatively interesting 37mm cannon. Let’s have a look at it though to see how it’s doing.
第一眼看呢，这辆车是个挺不错的二级车。感谢圣光这车没有个“喷水”的小突突炮，但是它有一杆相当有意思的37mm炮。我们先来看看这辆车的表现。 

Armor
装甲 

As you can see, the armor is not this vehicle’s strong side. After all, it’s a lowtier light tank, it’s not supposed to be a hulking unpenetrable fortress (unless of course it’s sold in gift editions, then it’s okay). Either way, the armor is pretty clear from the picture, not too much to tell about it. The armor is roughly comparable to other tier 2 gift tanks – the Tetrarch and T1E6, it’s a little thinner, but it hardly makes any real difference. The obvious idea would be not to shoot the well-sloped part, which in theory has decent effective armor, but the thing is, despite its good slope, it’s only 6mm thick and thus it will be triple-overmatched by pretty much everything except for the .50 cals and the 15mm BESA (and of course the 7,92mm, but that’s another story, given its penetration), so it is pretty much irrelevant. In armor, it’s the worst tank of the three, but again, on this tier it hardly matters (the slope can save you from some of the .50 cal bullets I guess). It’s worth noting that the T1E6 has worse side armor by a few milimeters.
如你所见，装甲并不是这辆车的强项。但是这毕竟是个低级轻坦，所以它并不是作为一个慢悠悠的打不穿的要塞所存在的（除非这车拿出来在礼品包里卖，这样就行）。总之呢，图上能清楚的看到它的装甲，没啥可说的。装甲和其他二级礼品车都差不多—领主以及T1E6，但是九七轻战稍微薄一些，其实没有什么真正的差别。第一眼看上去你可能会觉得不要去射击那个倾斜的表面，理论上那边的等效装甲很厚——但事实上并非如此，尽管它倾斜的很厉害，但是它的厚度只有6mm，这样它就会被那些除了.50机枪以及15mm BESA机炮以外的炮由于三倍口径机制所压制，（包括7.92mm炮，但是这都是后话了，因为穿深摆在那），所以其实没啥关系。在装甲方面，它是三者中最烂的一个，但再强调一次，在这个等级装甲真的不顶什么用（这个斜面也就能把你从.50手下救下来吧）。要注意的是T1E6的侧面比它还要差个几毫米。

Firepower
火力 

The Te-Ke is equipped with a 37mm Type 98 gun, that is actually not bad. It has a decent penetration (40,4mm), standard damage (45), decent rate of fire (20) and tier-standard accuracy (0,4) and aimtime (2,2s). This gun is superior to the .50cal “spitters” of the T7CC and other tanks and possibly over the 15mm BESA MG, but it is inferior to the Tetrarch gun, especially due to the 2pdr penetration capabilities. What makes it very useful is the -15 degrees depression, but be warned – in 38 degrees frontal arc, the depression is “only” -12,7 – still awesome, but less than advertised in WoT Wiki. It’s not an autoloaded gun, but against the opponents of its tier, it’s sufficient. Tetrarch is better and the T1E6 is different (it has an autoloader, but less penetration), I think it will do just fine. “Sufficient” is the right word I guess.
九七轻战用的是一杆九八式三十七粍戦車砲（译注：维基百科中注明九七轻战使用的是一杆九四式三十七粍戦車砲，据查九八式是九四式的升级版，弹药可以互用。） ，其实并不差。这个炮的穿深很好（40.4mm），标准伤害（45），极高的射速（20）以及本级中标准的百米散布（0.4）还有瞄准时间（2.2）。这个炮比T7战斗车那个.50口径的“水枪”，还有其他坦克，甚至都可能比15mm BESA机枪强多了，但是炮没有领主的炮好，尤其是因为那两磅炮的穿深能力。这杆炮真正实用的地方是那-15°的俯角，但是要注意的是—在38°的正面扇形区域中，这个俯角“只有”12.7°—依然很不错，但是比WOTwiki中宣传的要少一些。这杆炮并不是弹夹炮，但是对付同级的对手已经足够了。领主的炮更好，而T1E6的炮是不一样的（是弹夹炮，但是穿深不够），我觉得应该没问题啦。“够用”这个词应该没问题。

Mobility
机动性 

The Te-Ke weighs 4,757 tons and is equipped with a 65hp engine, giving it 13,66 hp/t (to compare, VIc has 17,6, Tetrarch has 25,5 and T1E6 has 27,64 hp/t). Maximum speed is 42 km/h (15 in reverse).
九七轻战的重量是4.757吨，使用的是65马力的发动机，推重比达到了13.66（做个对比，MK.VIc的推重比是17.6，领主的推重比是25.5，T1E6的推重比是27.64）极速是42km/h（倒车时是15） 

I guess you can see where this is going. The mobility will be most likely rather poor. This might be compensated to some degree by terrain passability – we’ll have to see how much exactly, but the terrain passability of 0,8/1/1,6 is better than any of the other reward tanks (T1E6 for example has 1,1/1,3/2,4), but the mobility compared to other “blazing speed” reward tanks will likely be worse.
我觉得大家能看出这个走向了。机动性应该不怎么好。这应该会以某种程度上的地形适应性来作为补偿—我们以后再看具体补偿的数值，但是0.8/1/1.6的地形适应性比其他任何的奖励坦克都要好（举个栗子，T1E6是1.1/1.3/2.4），但是机动性比其他的“超快速”奖励坦克来说会差一些。 

Conclusion
结论 

It’s neither a gem nor a complete shit, it’s going to be an okay tank. I assume the mobility will cause it not to be as desired as other reward tanks (plus the fact it is Japanese and thus, unless you are grinding Japanese tanks, useless for crew training). An interesting thing – it seems WG is hellbent on pushing the Japanese tanks to become more popular – just check the events of the EU server (linked above) – two events, tied to Japanese tanks in a month. Interesting.
这车既不是什么宝贝，也不是坨屎，这辆车应该还成吧。我先假设机动性上的问题会让这辆车并不像其它的车一样受人追捧（还要算上这是个日本车，当然了除非你在练日本车，就算这样这车拿来练组员也不实用） 。有趣的是—WG正在拼命让日本车的人气涨起来—看看上面的欧服的活动（有链接）—两个活动，一个月内都是和日本车有关的。有意思。
