AMX-40′s Second Turret

Hello everyone,

not so long ago, Storm stated that the AMX-40 would get a second turret of some sort, with an upgraded gun but with less armor. Well… if you were wondering what kind of turret will it be, it’s this as far as I know:

不久前，Storm提到 AMX-40会有第二个炮塔，主炮更强力但装甲更弱。嘛~ 大家都在好奇这个炮塔长什么样子，据我所知可能是酱紫：

完全不萌：AMX40小鸭子的第二个脑袋

这个版本的小鸭子一点都不萌了啊喂！(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

As far as I could find out, this was never a real project (for the AMX-40 anyway), more like an idea of what the turret might have looked like, were it developed into the early 40′s (if the occupation did not happen of course). As you can see, the FCM turret is larger, providing more space for crew (it’s a three man turret), but also for additional armament.According to AMX designer Joseph Molinié, upgrades were considered – for example a 75mm gun, but that’s about as far as it went. It’s possible another (more powerful) 75mm gun will appear on AMX-40 in the future, as well as somewhat more powerful engine.

就我所了解的信息表明，这个设计方案根本就不存在，仅是对40年代早期研发的炮塔假想图。正如你所看到的，FCM的炮塔很大，是为了给车组提供更多空间（这是一个三人炮塔），同时也能容纳更多装备。根据AMX坦克设计者Joseph Molinié所言，他们也曾考虑过升级版——比方说安装一门75mm炮，当然这也是它的极限了。而在游戏中，将来可能会给AMX-40另外一门更强力的75mm炮，还会有一个更好的引擎。
