AMX-1390孪生兄弟亮相 AMX-13/57前瞻

　　yesterday, as you probably noticed, a new premium French vehicle (AMX-13/57) was leaked. It’s basically the same old AMX-13, only equipped with a very long AMX-13/57 cannon. There is actually very little information about the gun and the vehicle itself and it’s reasonable to assume that Wargaming simply “guessed” the gun values – the same, however, cannot be said about the AMX-13 armor.

　　昨天的消息你们可能也注意到了，超测服上出现了一部法国金币车AMX-13/57。这基本上就是在原版AMX-13的车体装备一门超长57mm炮。其实关于这门炮的相关数据很少，我们有理由猜测它的数据WG可能是YY出来的。不过AMX-13的装甲可不是YY出来的，毕竟“我们的游戏很历史”。

　　With the introduction of the HD AMX-13/57 model, we can have a first look at how the AMX-13 armor will change in the game, when both the AMX-13/75 and the AMX-13/90 get reworked to HD. This is not just a speculation, as even though the AMX-13/57 hull is the early variant, the armor schematics for the later hulls are the same and thus, it’s reasonable to assume the armor of the AMX-13 tanks will be reworked to resemble the AMX-13/57 in HD. The turret might differ, there I am not quite sure.

　　随着AMX-13/57高清模型的引入，我们可以推测出当游戏中的13/75和13/90被重制为高清的时候它们装甲上的变动。这可不仅仅是猜测，因为虽然AMX-13/57的车体是早期型号的AMX-13，但是后期型的在装甲布局上也没有发生什么变化，所以说AMX-13系列坦克在重制为高清后车体装甲可能与13/57类似。不过炮塔的装甲会不会变，这点不好说。

　　If you are wondering about the history of the AMX-13/57 by the way, then yes, it’s historical – or, at least it existed in the plans and a mock-up was made. Very little is known about this very early AMX-13 variant, only that by the time the mock-up was ready (it never progressed beyond preliminary stage), the gun was considered obsolete and was replaced by a 75mm one (we have in the game). There’s exactly one picture of the AMX-13/57 and this is it:

　　如果你对AMX-13/57的历史感兴趣的话，这就写出来。这车在历史上是存在的，或者说至少有图纸，而且还造出了一部样车。不过关于这个极早期型的AMX-13资料少得可怜，现在知道的就是在造好样车的时候，这门炮被认为已经过时了，随后便被75mm炮替换(也就催生了游戏中的AMX-13/75)。下图就是AMX-13/57的一张照片：

　　I assume the modellers managed to do it simply because they took the hull from the original AMX-13 and gave it a small visual overhaul. Anyway, to the armor – this is the AMX-13/57 armor:

　　SS猜测建模商们能够弄出它的模型的原因就是它们利用了游戏中现成的AMX-13车体，然后在外观上稍微做了一下改动。不过，咱还是来看看装甲问题。这是AMX-13/57的装甲。

　　As you can see, the vehicle armor layout changed quite a bit. The 50mm strip of the frontal armor was reduced and the upper lower plate (instead of 40mm) now has layers of 30, 20 and 15mm. This is not as important because of the armor thickness itself, but it is for overmatch purposes: 15mm – that’s triple overmatch even from 45mm guns. The side armor seems not to have changed.

　　能看出来，坦克的装甲布局变化还不小。车体前装甲上50mm的那一片条形区域变窄了，首上从原来的40mm的一整片变为3片由下往上厚度递减的条形区域(30，20，15mm)。装甲自身的厚度变化并不那么关键，关键的是游戏中的三倍碾压规则:15mm装甲可以被口径在45mm以上的炮碾压。侧装甲则没有发生变化。

　　Overall, if they rework the AMX-13/75 (and 90) according to these specs, it’s a nerf, although how big a one, that remains to be seen.

　　总体上看，如果WG真的依照AMX-13/57的参数来把AMX-13/75和90两兄弟重制为高清版，那这就是锉刀，不过到底影响有多大，我们还是继续观望吧。
