打坏历史的一枪(误

原文标题:改变历史的一枪

Hello everyone,

大家好。

today is a date that I think is worth remembering. A hundred years ago, on 28.6.1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, countess Sophie Chotek, were shot by a Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip, sparking one of the worst conflicts in human history, First World War.

今天(6月28日)是值得纪念的一天。整整一百年前,(奥匈帝国皇储)斐迪南大公与其妻子苏菲被塞尔维亚民族主义者加夫里洛·普林西普刺杀,由此引发了对人类历史影响最为深重的战争之一——第一次世界大战。

Hello everyone,
大家嚎, 

this morning, first pictures of the upcoming American light branch (coming in 9.3, unless something changes) were leaked, starting with the new tier 6 T37 light tank. Now, we are going to have a look at this interesting piece of engineering, its history and historical performance.
今天早上,一些关于即将实装的由新的6级轻坦T37打头的美国轻坦线(9.3实装,除非另有变动)的图片被泄露了。现在我们要看看这个有意思的工程,关于它的历史以及史实的表现。 继续阅读

超测服泄露:新的美国6级轻坦

Hello everyone,
大家嚎, 

as you know now, the American light tanks (T5: Chaffee, T6: T37, T7: M41, T8: T49) are coming in 9.3 (hopefully, they were postponed like a bazillion times in the past). First models are making it to the supertest. This is the tier 6, T37 light tank. The top turret you see in this case is apparently the elite one (T41, this would later on become the Walker Bulldog).
如你所知,美国轻坦们(5级:霞飞,⑥级:T37,7级:M41,8级:T49)将在9.3实装(当然是在理想状态下,这以前已经被推迟过无数次了)。第一批模型已经加入超测了。这辆是6级的T37轻坦。在这里你看到的顶级炮塔是完全体的那个(T41炮塔,后面会变成华克猛犬) 

T37 was basically an attempt to upgrade the Chaffee to have superior mobility and firepower. To quote Priory_of_Sion:
T37其实就是尝试着把霞飞升级,让它具有更强大的机动以及火力时的产物。引用一下Priory_Of_Sion:

First off I would like to discuss the “missing link” between the M24 and the M41, the T37. Most of you should know a little about the T37 by WoT. It is the source for the M24′s upgraded turret, even though it is too large for the Chaffee’s turret ring(the US did have plans to enlarge the T24/M24 turret ring though which would allow the T37′s turret).
首先我想讨论下在M24和M41之间的“丢失的连接”,也就是T37.大多数人应该通过WOT都对T37有了一点了解。它就是M24的升级炮塔的来源,尽管对于霞飞的炮塔座圈来说还是太大了一些(美国人的确试图要把T24/M24的炮塔座圈搞大一点以便安装T37的炮塔) 

Now to discuss the T37. In Jan. 1945 the Army Ground Forces Equipment Review Board and the War Dept. Equipment Review Board both decided the M24 wasn’t fit. They proposed a 25t vehicle that had superior firepower & mobility compared to the Chaffee. They called it the T37.
现在开始说T37.在1945年一月,陆军地面部队装备审查委员会以及战争部门装备审查委员会双双决定M24已经不行了。他们提议了一种25吨重的,相比霞飞具有更强大的火力以及机动性的坦克。他们管它叫T37。

Development began in 1946 and a pilot was produced in 1949. The T37 was split into 3 “phases”. Phase I was the turret and gun combination we see on the Chaffee in WoT. Phase II was mounted with a deadlier T91 76 mm gun (same gun as on the T71 LT) with a Vickers fire control system and became redesignated the T41 (direct precursor to the M41). Phase III was an autoloading variant which wasn’t built due to the Korean War. Some more advanced features of the T37 such as the rangefinders, the FCS and autoloaders were never fully developed due to the war in Korea. In 1950 orders were given to Cadillac to produce 100 T41E1s which became the famed M41 Walker Bulldog.
开发于1946年开始,在1949年产出了一辆原型车。T37被分成了三个“阶段”。第一阶段是我们在WOT中所看见的霞飞上的炮塔与主炮的结合。第二阶段是要加装一杆更厉害的,使用维克斯火控系统的T91 76mm炮(和T71轻坦上那杆一样),并改重命名为T41(也就是M41的直接前身)。第三阶段是要搞一个弹夹炮的版本,但是由于朝鲜战争的原因未能开发。T37的一些更加先进的功能,类似于测距器,火控系统以及弹夹炮由于朝鲜战争的原因从来没有被完全开发。在1950年,他们向凯迪拉克下达了生产100辆T41E1的订单,日后成为了声名远扬的M41华科猛犬。 

I’ll see if I manage to find more info about it.
我会试着找到更多的信息的。

Very little from Russia, but luckily, Tanitha talked about some interesting stuff on ASIA forums (Blitz answers come from Overlord)
毛子那边消息很少,还好Tanitha在亚服论坛上说了一些有意思的东西(闪电战的信息是从Overlord那边来的) 

– World of Tanks: Blitz is already no.1 free app in RU region after its release

Unfortunately, with Storm on vacation (a week and a half more IIRC), very little is new. The ASIA “developer Q&A” with Tanitha looks promising, but he sort of backed off (understandeably) and needs to clear what he can tell players officially and what he can’t. Should be interesting still.
鉴于Storm还在度假(没记错的话还有一个半礼拜),今天也是非常和平的一天。亚服Tanitha的“Developer Q&A”看起来很不错,但是他有点缩了(可以理解)并且需要重申他作为官方可以跟玩家说什么,什么不能说。应该还是有点意思的。 

Oddly enough, the EU portal did not inform (unlike the RU one) that the WoT Blitz was officially released, so… World of Tanks Blitz was officially released and you can get it officially here. Android version will come in the upcoming months. You can discuss the news on Overlord’s blog!
欧服的主页上并没有(像毛服一样)的公开表示WOT闪电战正式上线了……恩,没错,WOT闪电战现在正式全球上线,你可以在这里找到。安卓版应该几个月内就有了,你可以在Overlord的博客上讨论这些新闻!  继续阅读

Nothing much today either. Well, actually, two things.
今天也没什么新玩意。恩,其实是有两件事的。 

First, Crytek denied financial issues (and, hence, being taken over by Wargaming). Too bad for us I guess.
首先是Crytek拒绝承认自己有金融方面的问题(也就不会被WG收购)。对我们而言好像不是个好消息。
译注:Crytek是开发孤岛危机系列的开发商
