Hello everyone,
大家嚎， 

in the post linked above, WG puts down some of the interesting tidbits you might have not known about World of Tanks. Enjoy!
在上述链接中，WG发布了一些不为群众所知关于WOT的花边新闻。以下正文。 

– while it might seem unlikely, compared to today, this is how hangar looked during the alpha testing stage of WoT
虽然这看上去很扯，但是和今天的车库相比呢，在A测阶段的WOT车库是这个样子的：

– each tank goes through 21 stages of development, before it appears on supertest server
每辆坦克在进入超测阶段之前需要进行21个阶段的开发

– the total amount of variables (hp, gun damage etc.) for all the tanks in the game is 37000
游戏中所有坦克的变量总数（血量，主炮伤害等等）是37000个

– before the game went live, the alpha/beta testers recieved a nice “1st of April” present in form of a BelAZ truck. It was the fastest produced vehicle ever, its creation took 16 hours only.
在游戏正式上线之前，所有的A/B测玩家都受到了一份挺不错的“愚人节礼物”，一辆BelAZ卡车。这辆车是有史以来所有车辆中建造速度最快的，一共只用了16个小时就搞定了。
译注：BelAZ卡车，是白俄罗斯的BelAZ所制造的拖运卡车。

– French TD AMX AC Mle.48 is historical, it was put together based on numerous drawings (“we are doing everything we can to make things historical”)
法国TD AMX AC1948是符合史实的，这车是基于好多张图纸拼凑而成的（“我们竭尽所能让一切都符合历史”）

SS: The part above is not entirely true. French tank destroyers were introduced in the stage of World of Tanks development, where a lot of vehicles were implemented not as historically accurate, but simply to fit in the game. Unlike now, historical accuracy was secondary and thus we got some really nasty abominations (unhistorical components or Frankenstein tanks such as the pre-change VK3001 and VK3601). Luckily, times changed, but to claim that at that point historical accuracy was a primary concern would be hypocritical.

SS：上面这部分并不是正确的。法国TD线是在WOT开发阶段就加入游戏中的，但是很多车的存在都是非史实的，只是拿来凑个数罢了。不像现在，历史的史实度已经成为了开发的第二大重点，因此我们就看到了这些真的不怎么样的玩意（非史实的零部件或者是作死坦克，栗如改动之前的VK3001和VK3601）。幸运的是，时过境迁，但是WG说在游戏开发的那个时候史实度就是首要的考虑目标就是有点扯淡了。 

– the graphically simpliest tank in the game is the Karl. The most complex one is the HD model of the M12 artillery, which will be introduced into the game in one of the following patches.
游戏中外表最简单的车是卡尔，而最复杂的是会在接下来几个补丁中加入的高清化之后的M12自行火炮

– the Crusader SP artillery 5.5in vehicle had such a high elevation angle that the hull had to be actually cut so that the recoil of the gun wouldn’t make the gun clip through the hull
十字军SP火炮 5.5英寸炮的仰角太高了，以至于WG必须锯掉车身的一部分以保证炮的后坐力不会使这杆炮插进车身

– untíl the game release, there was a “Traktor” vehicle fighting in battles, which could shoot from the exhaust pipe, that was attached to its side instead of going up. (SS: That’s where the “agrimotor” icon comes from)
直到游戏发布之前，在游戏中都有一辆可以用来打的“拖拉机”，这辆车可以从自己侧面的排气管中向外射击（SS：这就是游戏中那个“农用摩托”图标的来历）

– in 2012, the Ratte tank was implemented in the game as an experiment. During the testing, one of the Ratte tanks was destroyed by the enemy and it was then WG discovered that it does not fit the hangar.
在2012年，P-1000巨鼠坦克被加入到了游戏中进行实验。在测试中，一辆巨鼠坦克被敌方摧毁，然后WG发现这车塞不进现有的车库。
译注：P-1000巨鼠坦克，纳粹德国曾经试图开发的一辆超重型坦克，重1000吨，主炮为两门280mm炮，一门128mm火炮，八门20mm高射炮以及两挺15mm机枪。

– not all tanks make it into the game: the model of FCM F1 superheavy French tank was created, but it never made it.
并不是所有坦克最后都出现在了游戏中，WG曾经创造了法国的FCM F1超重型坦克，但是这辆车从来就没投入使用

– a total of 670 birds are flying over the battlefields. Himmelsdorf has most (29), while Mountain Pass has the least (2 eagles)
战场上一共有670只鸟在飞，锡城最多（29只），而胜利之门最少（2只鹰）

– the CW map was (on RU server) started on 10.2.2011 and had 178 provinces. Current number is 948.
领土战地图（毛服的）在2011年2月10日开放，一开始只有178个地区。现在有948个了

– in total, all the provinces on the CW map make more than 500 thousand gold to their owners daily
领土战地图上的所有领地加在一起能给它们的所有者带来50W金币的收益

– the first meeting between developers and players took place in December 2010 and Viktor Kislyi participated. Ever since, 200 thousand people participated in these meetings.
开发团队和玩家之间的第一次会议于2010年12月，而Viktor Kislyi参与了本次会议。至今为止已经有20W人参与了这些会议。

– first WG cybersports championship had 32 teams participating, it was in April 2010 during closed beta test. In 2013 tournaments, 41 thousand teams participated (more than 6 times more than all of English football teams in all of English leagues)
WG的第一次电竞大奖赛有32个队伍参与了，那次大奖赛是在封闭B测期间于2010年4月举办。在2013年的锦标赛中，一共有41K的队伍参加了竞争（是英国所有联盟的所有英国球队的总数的六倍还多）

– the first competition on WG portal took place on 23.2.2011 and it was called “Clan Parade”. Ever since, 456 competitions were opened.
WG官网上的第一次比赛是2011年2月23日举行的，它叫“军团游行”、至今为止一共举行了456次比赛。

– the support center is often asked to restore accidentally sold premium vehicles. As a reason, players very often state that “their cat climbed on keyboard and accidentally sold the tank”
客服中心经常会被要求恢复被玩家不小心卖掉的金币车。玩家们惯用的理由是“我家喵星人爬到了我的键盘上然后就把车给卖了”
