Hello everyone,
大家嚎， 

just a quick rundown of the RU251, upcoming tier 8 light tank. The numbers come from a reliable source, its author however does not wish to be listed as some of the materials concerning this tank are actually still considered confidential by the Bundeswehr.
简单说下RU251，即将实装的德国8级轻坦。这些数字的来源都很可靠，但是作者并不想发布自己的名字，因为德国联邦国防军依然把部分关于这辆坦克的材料认为是机密。

The picture above was taken recently. The location of the tank is currently confidential and to be quite honest, taking pictures of it is not exactly something people should do, that’s why the picture is so scrambled. There were more pictures taken and Wargaming has them at their disposal, hence the historical accuracy of the RU251 model in the game.
上面这张照片是最近才拍的。这辆坦克现在的位置依然是机密，而且说实话吧，拍这辆坦克真的不是很好。这就是为什么这张图这么乱的原因。其实拍了更多照片，WG有权处理这些照片，因为他们要在游戏中体现RU251的模型的史实度。

主炮：90mm Bord Kanone炮（游戏中发射的是AP/HEAT/HESH弹，所有弹种均为史实—AP弹的名字是DM13，可以从在德国服役的90mm M36/M41中发射，游戏中穿深大概预计在175mm左右吧）

History (published earlier)
历史资料（早些时候发布的） 

The Spähpanzer Kette was designed to replace the Germany Army’s old American M41 light tanks in the reconnaissance role. Its development began in 1960 and a prototype was completed in 1963. It mounted a Rheinmetall turret armed with the 90mm Bordkanone as used in the Jagdpanzer Kanone.
Spähpanzer Kette本来设计出来是要替换掉德国军队中那些老旧的美国M41坦克，成为新的侦查用坦克的。它的开发在1960年开始，在1963年的时候造好了一个原型车。它用的是一个莱茵金属的炮塔，主炮是一杆90mm Bordkanone炮，与Jagdpanzer Kanone中使用的是一样的。 

By the middle of the 1960s the Leopard tank was in production and it was decided that reconnaissance units did not need their own specialist vehicles. The development of the Spähpanzer Kette was dropped without any further vehicles being built and its role was given over to the Leopard. With hindsight, this may have been a hasty move as the wheeled Spähpanzer Luchs was eventually developed to take back this role from the Leopard.
在1960年中期，豹I进入了量产，高层决定侦察车并不需要单独再搞一辆车了。于是Spähpanzer Kette的开发就此中断，它的职责（进行侦查）也被交给了豹I进行。现在说点马后炮的事，这个决定也许下的过于匆忙了。因为他们后来又开发了一辆Spähpanzer山猫来接过豹I的这个侦查用的角色。

译注： Jagdpanzer Kanone，二战后德国基于M47开发的一辆TD。由于外观和追猎者以及四号歼击车过于相似而被人所熟知。其主炮为90mm，40倍径，由莱茵金属制造。
