Hello everyone,
大家嚎,

now that the fuss about the new graphics is over, we’re going to have a look at the upcoming tier 8 light tank candidate, the T49.

A while ago, I wrote a Q&A special on Soviet tank armour. Since then I have gotten periodic requests to do a similar special on German tank armour. Initially, I did not intend to write such an article, but duty calls. However, this is no ordinary article.
不久之前,我做了一份专注于苏联装甲的QA。在那之后我就一直收到有人想要我做一个类似的但是是关于德国人装甲的QA的请求。一开始呢,我本来是不想写的,但是使命在肩,我不得不写。然而这并不是一篇普通的文章。

Usually, archive materials do not particularly surprise me. I see a “that’s interesting” here and there, maybe a “huh, I didn’t know that”. I’ve even come to terms with ridiculous things that happen when you try to compare reports from the two sides involved. But this, this is something unprecedented. Many things I have written shocked my readers, but this discovery shocked even me.
通常来讲呢,档案之类的东西其实并不会让我感到惊讶。我经常会在各处发现“挺有意思的”内容,偶尔会有“恩,我不知道这事嘛”的样子。我个人碰到过许多把参与某事件的双方的报告进行对比时,出现非常奇怪的状况的例子。但是以下的东西是史无前例的。我曾经写出的很多东西都震惊了我的读者,但是以下发现甚至震惊了我自己。 继续阅读

Hello everyone,
大家嚎, 

what we have here is a quite interesting thing. Some of you (with very good memory) might remember one interview with SerB for the Goha.ru portal from more than two years ago (you can check it here), where – while discussing potential light tanks – he mentioned an ultra-lightweight variant of the T-54 tank a potential hightier candidate for World of Tanks. I’ve seen this interview before several times, but I honestly never found anything about this special T-54 variant, until it showed up on US forums today. It’s pretty interesting actually. Here’s what we know about it.
摆在我们面前的是个很有意思的东西。你们中的一部分人(前提是脑子要够好)也许还记得Goha.ru论坛在两年前对SerB进行的一次采访(点我去看) 当他们讨论到可能会出现的轻坦时—他提到了一个可以塞进WOT的超级轻量版的T-54变种,可以拿来做高级车的候选车辆。我自己以前曾经多次的看过这篇采访,但是说实话我从来就没找到过什么有趣的关于这辆特殊的T-54变种的信息。直到今天,它出现在了美服论坛上。还是挺有意思的,以下正文。 继续阅读

SU-85BM以及SU-122P—苏联TD们的史实炮

Hello everyone,
大家嚎, 

Okay, this is something I wanted to post for a while now, after Yuri Pasholok posted two photos on his blog. Those of you, who play Soviet tank destroyers in World of Tanks, might remember the SU-85 and SU-100 elite guns. SU-85 has the 85mm D5S-85BM, while the SU-100 has the D-2-5S? But are they historical?
恩,这其实是我一直想发的东西了,在Yuri Pasholok发了两张图之后,我决定把它发出来。你们这些在WOT中玩苏联TD线的玩家们一定对SU-85和SU-100的顶级炮有印象。SU-85的顶级炮是85mm D5S-85BM,而SU-100的顶级炮是D-2-5S?但是它们真的是史实的吗? 

Yep, they are. Meet SU-85BM and SU-122P.
没错,它们的确是史实的。来会会SU-85BM和SU-122P吧。  继续阅读

On IS-4 model accuracy – 论IS-4的模型精准

原文地址: http://ftr.wot-news.com/2014/01/02/on-is-4-model-accuracy/

Source: Yuri Pasholok’s blog

Hello everyone,

an interesting thing appeared on Yuri Pasholok’s blog. On the example of the IS-4, Yuri Pasholok demonstrates, how much can various projections differ from reality. He states that if someone claims some vehicle to be modelled after “factory drawings”, you don’t have to take that claim too seriously, because – if I understood what he wrote correctly, there is not only a significant difference between various book drawings and the final product, there is also a difference between the general factory drawings and the final product.

Basically, production plans consist of series of detailed partial drawings, by which the vehicle parts are created. General drawings however (as in, general overview, even though created by the same factory) tend to be much less accurate (this is apparently the reason why for example Wargaming preferred the partial IS-3 turret plans to the general model in the recent IS-3 turret changes).
