Hello everyone,
大家嚎， 

yesterday, the new “Light T-54″ (I will call it LT-54 in this article) tier 8 premium medium tank was unveiled and it was only natural people immediately started speculating. Will it be another Type 59? Will it be overpowered for a premium tank? Or will it disappear into the pit of mediocrity like the T-34-3? Well, let’s have a look at both.
昨天，那辆新的“轻型T-54”（本文中简称为LT-54，后略）的8级金币中坦被泄露了出来，人们就自然而然的开始对其进行猜测。它会成为下一辆59吗？它作为金币车会不会太OP？亦或是会像T-34-3一样“泯然众人矣”？恩，我们来看看吧。 

Keep in mind that the supertester statistics leaked are preliminary, which means they can (and probably will) change.
请记住，超测服泄露出来的数据都只是初步的数据，这意味着他们可以（有可能会）对其作出改动。 

The Armor
装甲 

Here are both armor schematics of the vehicles. Type 59:
这是两辆车的装甲分部图。59式：

And LT-54:
以及LT-54 

Unlike other statistics, armor is probably not very likely to change. As you can see, the Type 59 armor is clearly superior in practically every aspect. The LT-54 has 80mm frontal armor (sloped at 60 degrees makes it 160mm effectively thick, not counting the normalization), the Type 59 has 200mm frontal effective armor (100mm at 60 degrees). While 160mm is still a relatively good value, it will make it vulnerable to the guns of tier 8 tanks as well, such as the D-10, that appears in numerous models of vehicles. The LT-54 frontal turret is 180-160mm thick and the area of this maximum thickness is smaller than the Type 59 has. Type 59 frontal turret armor is 200mm thick, making it practically impervious to vehicles of tiers 6-8. Furthermore, the LT-54 will have a massive weakspot on the top of the turret, with the hatches being significantly thinner as well (looks like 91mm, Type 59 has 130mm hatches). The side armor on the Type 59 is 80mm thick, the side armor on the LT-54 looks like 60mm. That is not an issue only because of its thickness, but also due to the overmatch.
不像其他数据一样，装甲有可能不会做出改动。正如你所看到的一样，59式的装甲在几乎各个方面都要优于LT-54。LT-54的正面装甲厚度为80mm（倾斜60°，等效厚度为160mm，并未计算转正效果） ，而59式的正面等效厚度为200mm（100mm倾斜60°）。虽说160mm也不是很差，但是它对8级车来说就是非常容易攻击的目标了，栗如装在许多车上的D-10炮一样。LT-54的正面炮塔厚度在180-160mm，而能够达到这个最大厚度的区域比59式小很多。59的正面炮塔有200mm厚，使得它在面对6~8级车的时候几乎可以横着走。此外，LT-54在炮塔正上方有一个很大的弱点，因为那些炮塔舱口非常的薄（看起来像91mm，59式的炮塔舱口有130mm厚）。59式的侧面厚度有80mm，而LT-54的侧面厚度看上去有60mm。这从厚度方面来讲不是个问题，但是考虑到碾压规则的存在……

In the armor department, the Type 59 clearly wins.
在装甲这方面，59式稳赢。 

Firepower
火力 

Now, the leaked stats for the LT-54 come from Tank Inspector. The thing is, Tank Inspector has several settings, where you can decide, what influences the stats. So I will be hoping that the leaker used default settings, I think he did, in which case the 100 percent crew bonus is taken into account.
泄露出的LT-54的数据是从装甲密档中获得的。问题在于，装甲密档有着几个设定，设定中你可以设置一些会对属性产生影响的参数。所以我希望那个剧透的人用的是默认的设置，我认为他是用的，因为这样就会把100%乘员的加成算进属性内。 

Both vehicles are using what in real life was essentially the same gun: the WW2 100mm D-10T variants we all know and love. The Chinese version has higher penetration (a long time ago, there was a talk of improving the Soviet penetration to this level as well, but the developers never got to do it).
两辆车都用的是现实生活中的炮，但这两杆炮其实就是一杆：我们所熟知且爱得深沉的二战100mm D-10T的两个变种版。中国版本的炮的穿深更高一些（很长时间以前，曾经有过消息说要把苏联的主炮穿深也提高到中国的水平，但是开发团队一直没搞） 

First number will refer to LT-54, second to Type 59
第一个是LT-54的数据，第二个是59式的 

穿深: 175/181
伤害: 250/250
模块伤害: 135/135
DPM: 1819/1798 (LT-54的第一个亮点！)
装填时间: 8,247/8,342 (说得过去，因为LT-54的DPM高一些)
射速: 7,276/7,192
载弹量: 34/34
弹药速度: 895/900 (LT-54的炮弹飞的要慢一些)
主炮俯角: -5/-7 (59式的加分重点，-5°的俯角对于一辆靠机动吃饭的车来说是件很蛋疼的事情)
精准度 (纸面): 0,4/0,39 (LT-54的精准稍差了一点点)
瞄准时间: 2,68/2,78 (LT-54的炮瞄准时间快一些，纸面数据应该是2.8秒，而59式的瞄准在2.9秒)
金币弹穿深 (假设值): 235/241

Regarding the accuracy on the move, the LT-54 seems to be a bit more accurate than the Type 59. It’s hard to say here, the winner is not clear, but I’ll go with Type 59, because every milimeter of better penetration is worth it. The LT-54 fires faster and aims faster, but is also less accurate. In a high-speed brawl (when shooting exposed side and rear armor), the LT-54 will have a slight advantage. It is clear that the developers want to balance this tank as a pure brawler. But will the mobility match it?
关于移动时的精准，LT-54好像比59式要准一些。现在很不好说谁到底是赢家，但是我还是要选59式，因为每一毫米的穿深都是实打实的。LT-54尽管射速和瞄准都比59快，但是主炮没有59式准。在高速的1V1战斗中（会对暴露出来的侧面和后面进行射击），LT-54会有一点点的优势。开发团队很明显想把这辆车平衡成一辆纯粹的单挑车， 但是机动性能达到这点吗？ 

Mobility
机动性 

Same as before – first number is LT-54, second number is the Type 59
上同—第一个是LT-54的数据，第二个是59式的 

重量: 30,79t/36吨
发动机出力: 520hp/520hp
推重比: 16,89/14,44 hp/t –正如所见，LT-54的大优势
车身转速: 44/46 (59式此处占优，但是鉴于地形适应性的出现，这点相对来说就没什么关系了)
不幸的是，极速没有得到泄露。我们就假设是史实值吧：
极速: 58,7/56
地形阻力：
LT-54 – 0,959/1,151/1,918
59式 – 0,863/0,959/1,918
从转速和地形阻力上来看，LT-54是比较差的。然而我们还是要考虑更高的推重比对整辆车带来的优势。我要说LT-54在此处有着小小的优势。

The Rest
剩下的 

视野: 385/380 米
无线电距离: 800/600 米
血量: 1300/1300

On the supertest however, the LT-54 does NOT have limited MM, Type 59 does have it. I think it’s realistic to assume that both will have limited MM in the end, because going up against tier 10′s with a stock D-10T and no armor is suicide.
然而在测试服上，LT-54并没有分房保护。但是59式是有的。我觉得从真实角度考虑，这两辆车最后都会有分房保护。因为在没有装甲防护的情况下用一杆白板D-10T去面对10级车与自杀无异。 

Verdict
结论 

With all three factors (armor, mobility and firepower) taken into account, it seems clear that in its current form (!), LT-54 is inferior to the Type 59 in practically every important respect. The armor seems to be the most problematic part (allowing even lower tier tanks to damage the vehicle, whereas the Type 59 would is invulnerable to the lower tier guns). Both vehicles have roughly the same firepower, with differences being in singular percents or less. The mobility is hard to determine given many factors that play into it, but I think it will be comparable to Type 59 more or less, possibly with slightly higher acceleration and speed. We’ll have to see and wait for the 9.2 test for this vehicle to appear in supertester hands to know more, but at this point, I am not exactly hyped. At least it looks good though.
从三个方面来看（装甲，机动以及火力），看起来LT-54在现在的情况（！）下，它在每个重要的方面都比59式要差。装甲看起来是问题最大的部分（因为低级车也可以打穿它，而59式的装甲对低级炮来说几乎是无敌的）。两辆车的火力都差不多，差距只在几个百分点内。机动性由于涉及到的参数太多，不能得出结论，但是我认为它和59是扎不多的，也许加速和极速会好一些。我们等到9.2测试服的时候才能知道更多的细节，但是在现在这个时间点上，我对这辆车一点都不感到兴奋。至少它看上去还是不错的。
