Hello everyone,
大家嚎， 

you might have noticed that yesterday, we recieved yet another copy of the T-54, this time in the German tree (I wonder if we’ll ever get an American T-54 clone as well). On one hand, it’s a solid tier 9 reward tank and – let’s face it, the model is beautiful, all that I am missing are the external fuel tanks, but I can see why developers didn’t add them (they wouldn’t be a part of the hitzone and people would be confused: “why the hell does it not catch on fire, when I am firing at his fuel tanks”). Another neat part is that according to the source of the leaks, developers are even making the East German crest on the tank, just like the Leopard has a Bundeswehr one. I do not understand the designation too well – I mean, T-55 NVA DDR? In English, NVA almost always refers to the army of North Vietnam and I can already see how people will be confused (“we are having a Vietnamese T-55 in German tree?”). Why not Kampfpanzer T-55 or even Kpz T 55 (without the dash), that’s how the vehicle was designated in some German sources and books?
也许各位已经注意到了，我们昨天又迎来了一辆T-54的复刻版，这次它出现在德国线内（我在想我们会不会见到美国的T-54复刻版）。一方面来讲，这车是个很好的⑨级奖励车—各位，承认了吧，这模型很漂亮，我唯一怀念的东西就是外置的油箱了。但是我知道为什么开发团队没有把它们放上去（它们并不是命中判定区的一部分，然后大家就很迷惑：“为什么我打了他的油箱，他特么不着火呢”）另一个非常屌的地方就是开发团队开发团队甚至要在车上弄出东德的徽记，就像豹式上有德国国防军的标志一样。我有点不太明白它的命名就是了—我的意思是，T-55 NVA DDR？英语中的NVA一般都指的是北越军队，我知道不明真相的群众们都很困惑（“我们在德国线里会看到一辆北越的T-55了？”）。为啥不是Kampfpanzer T-55（译注：战斗坦克）或者是Kpz T55（没有那个横线），就像这辆车在部分德国的资料和书籍中被命名的一样？

On the other hand, this vehicle, despite having somewhat different characteristics, is a clone of the T-54. Is that a good thing? Is that a bad thing?
另一方面，这辆车尽管有数据上的不同，但是还是个T-54的复刻版。这到底是好是坏？ 

Personally, I don’t mind. I mean… yes, this tank existed and was in service, thanks god it didn’t get to fight anyone though. Ironically, this vehicle, deployed by the East German army (NVA), was not manufactured in Germany, it was imported from Czechoslovakia (and partially Poland). Congratulations, another Czechoslovak vehicle fighting in German colours 🙂 Hell, the German vehicles even fired indigenous Czechoslovak ammunition, not the Soviet one (specifically, the 100-JprSv HEAT shells with cca 300mm penetration).
个人来说，我是不介意的。我的意思是…没错，这辆车有服役过啦，谢天谢地这车没有打过任何人。讽刺的是，虽然这辆车是东德人民军在用（NVA），但是却不是德国产的。这辆车是从捷克斯洛伐克进口的（还有部分从波兰进口的）。恭喜，又一辆披着德国外衣的捷克坦克。你看，这些德国车用的还是捷克本土的炮弹呢，不是苏联的（说的是100-JprSv HEAT弹，穿深在300mm左右） 

As I wrote, I don’t mind. I personally think T-54/55 are some of the most beautiful tanks ever made and having one in the German tree? Why not. There is nothing inherently bad in having multiple copies of one tank in the game, it adds nothing negative to the game, apart from somewhat less diversity, but even that is a minor issue, considering this will not be a tier 8 premium tank and so we do not have to fear floods of T-55A tanks in battles
就像我刚才说的，我是不介意的。我个人认为T-54/55是最漂亮的坦克之一，在德国树上来一辆？何尝不可呢。游戏中有一辆坦克的各种复刻版其实并不是什么坏事，它对于游戏不会带来任何的负面影响，哦，除了辨别度会下降一些之外。但是考虑到这不是8级金币车，也就不用怕T-55A洪流的话，那其实还是小事。 

All jokes aside however, there is one thing that I hate about that and it’s the Wargaming inconsistency and hypocrisy. On one hand, the developers are moaning about the EU tree “filled with clones” and on the other hand, they introduce TWO T-54 clones in space of one month?
把玩笑话放一边，我只讨厌一点，就是WG你们敢不敢要点碧莲的虚伪和不一致性。一方面来讲，开发团队一直在抱怨说欧洲线都是“各种各样的复刻版”，而另一方面，他们在一个月之内就向游戏内加入了两个T-54的复刻版？ 

And that goes for the T28 Concept (upcoming tier 7 US TD apparently) – on one hand, developers are not happy with fake tanks to the point of actively trying to replace them, on the other hand, they introduce a completely fabricated vehicle with fake statistics based on one wooden mockup, that wasn’t even seriously considered?
同样的，T28概念车（即将出现的美国7级TD）—一方面来讲，开发团队对于现在游戏内的假车很不满意，而且正在积极的把它们替换掉，而另一方面，他们准备向游戏内加入一辆只有木头模型的，而且没有经过详尽的考虑的数据全都是假的坦克？ 

Seeing how easy it is for them to break their own rules, the EU tree should be a piece of cake. In any case however, this inconsistency is something that really brings them down in my eyes. Oh well, here’s to another version of the T-54, may many players get it and enjoy it!
鉴于WG这么朝三暮四，欧洲线估计也会是满地奇葩。然而在任何情况下，这种说话不算数的行为都是在我眼中降低他们地位的举动。总而言之，现在又有另一个版本的T-54了，我希望许多玩家能够拿到它，好好玩这个车！
