坦克世界可选车体历史解读：苏系轻中重坦

　　T-Continuing the breadth-first traversal of the tech tree, weencounter the T-60. Its years of service were brief: it was born in 1941, andreplaced with the T-70 in 1942. The last T-60 was assembled in 1943 fromleftover parts. It was also produced with extra armour plates, although thechange isn’t particularly noticeable visually. Gameplay-wise, the armour screenwill make a difference: although it is only 10 mm thick, it is positioned at avery steep angle and slightly lifted off the armour, giving it a spaced armourbonus (watch out, HEAT firing seal clubbers!). The upgrade can be made morenoticeable by swapping in the distinctive spindled road wheels.

　　继续看看科技树上同级的T-60。它的服役历程很简洁：诞生于1941年，1942年被T-70取代。最后一部T-60是在1943年用边角废料组装出来的，安装有附加的装甲(外观变化不明显)。在游戏中，装甲的变化可能导致玩法的变动---虽然增加的装甲板只有10mm厚，但是倾斜角度很大，与主装甲带之间还留有空隙，可以充当间隙装甲(打HEAT的屠幼党们吔屎啦)。升级型车体外观和原版T-60差别不明显?把负重轮换成纺锤形的就可以了。

　　Next, the BT-2. The tank was quicklyreplaced in the Red Army by the BT-5 (although, it fought until at least 1942just the same). The tank’s BT-2-IS modernization in 1934 (not tobe confused with the same engineer’ 1935 BT project) brought it a BT-7-likerear hull, in addition to improved propulsion: six drive wheels instead of justtwo. This modification provided increased off-road performance and suspensiondurability, as losing an entire road wheel was no big deal.

　　下一个是BT-2。该型坦克在红军中迅速被BT-5所取代(虽然在1942年还有战斗记录)。1934年出现的现代化改型BT-2-IS(不要和出自同一工程师之手的1935年BT项目混淆)，车体后半部分类似BT-7，改良了推进系统，将主动轮从2个增加到了6个，从而改善了越野时的表现，并增加了悬挂系统的耐久度---坏一个主动轮并不是什么大问题。

　　Moving up to the BT-7, I guess youcould take the BT-5-IS or BT-7-IS project, but those are boring. The BT-SV-2 isunlikely, as the BT-SV is already in the game. Fortunately for us, up-armouring didnot pass by BT-7s either, and resulted in a cooler looking, stronger BT-7 with50 mm of front armour. However, its speed suffered, decreasing to 45 kph. ABT-7 that chooses to carry that weight will require some kind of compensationin firepower, which will be explored in a subsequent article.

　　接着来看看BT-7。我猜你们可能会拿BT-5-IS和BT-7-IS来说事，但它们乏善可陈。BT-SV-2则不同，因为BT-SV已经在游戏里了。幸运的是，BT-7也有装甲升级的计划，即一个外形更酷，前装甲50mm的强化型BT-7。但是它的速度受到了很大影响，极速降到了45km/h。增强装甲的BT-7还需要在火力上做出一些妥协，不过这是后话了。

　　Panning back across the tree, we hit the T-70. The T-70 , likeits predecessor, did not last long with the Red Army, being edged out by itsSPG version, the SU-76. The tank initially disappointed the military with itsone-man turret and armour identical to the T-60. The lower front plate wasincreased to 45 mm, but the suspension was too weak to support a two-manturret, resulting in a T-70 with an improved suspension (T-70M). However, thechanges to the T-70M were focused on the suspension only, and did not touch thehull. The only possible option here is a downgrade: a stock hull thatrepresents the T-70 that faced initial trials with a 35 mm lower glacis, and animproved T-70 (but not yet a T-70M) with a 45 mm lower glacis. The formeroption would reduce the mass of the tank, and result in superior mobility.

　　下面我们碰见的是T-70。和它的前身T-60类似，T-70在红军中的服役时间也不算长，被其SPG(SU-76)版本逐步替代。该坦克单人炮塔的设计以及与T-60相近的装甲最初让军方很失望，因此首下被增加到了45mm，但是原版悬挂过于脆弱，难于支撑双人炮塔，催生了后来的改进型悬挂(T-70M)。但是T-70M仅关注对于悬挂的改进，车体并没有变化。有2个可选车体，应该是算作一种退化：白版车体是最初接受测试的T-70型，首下35mm，完全体是改进型T-70(还不是T-70M)。白版车体能够降低坦克全重，使得机动性有所增加。

　　Continuing on, we hit the T-46. Meant to replace the T-26 as theRed Army’s infantry support tank, it failed at its job due to being too heavy.This was not a problem at first, as sturdier components were developed to carrythe weight. Then, a more powerful engine, to keep up its speed. As a result,the upgrade to the T-26 cost nearly as much as a T-28, and a decision was madeto continue using the T-26.

　　接着往下看就是T-46。用于替换T-26作为新一代步兵支援坦克的它却没能完成被赋予的这一使命---因为太重。这在一开始并不是什么问题，因为有较结实的承重部件。但是随着它们采用了更强劲的引擎以保持速度，升级型的T-26的价格直逼T-28的2倍，所以后来军方还是决定继续使用T-26了。

　　Nevertheless, 3 T-46 prototypes existed: T-46-1, T-46-2, andT-46-3 (Koshkin’s T-46-5, or 111, was a radically different vehicle). Only twoof these tanks remain to this day. The T-46 we have in game is based on the oneat Kubinka, but the tank at the Central Museum of the Great Patriotic War inMoscow has a slightly different looking hull. The different T-46 hulls did notsignificantly differ in function, so this is likely yet another cosmeticupgrade.

　　不管怎么说，还是有出现过3部T-46的原型车：T-46-1，T-46-2和T-46-3(就是柯什金的T-46-5，或111，是一个区别很大的设计)。其中只有2部保留到现在。游戏中的T-46是以库兵卡的那一部为基础的，但是在伟大的卫国战争中央博物馆的那一部车体外形却有略微不同。两者间的差异并没有带来功能上的差别，所以可能这又是一个只能看的可选车体。
