Commanders,

脱啦基佬们，

This month we will be taking a closer look at the T1 and M6 heavy tanks, which represent an evolution in American tank design.This is a story which goes from outlandish concept designs and experimental prototypes to production vehicles and finally to cancellation of the whole project.

我来给你们讲讲T1和M6的故事，这个故事可以让你了解美系这条线路是如何变弯的。故事从希奇古怪的设计讲到原型生产，然后他死了。

In reality, the T1 was a prototype vehicle which then became the M6 for production.However, in World of Tanks they are both unique vehicles.As such, this month we will be celebrating them both with a special offer!

其实T1跟M6是一个东西，只是原型车和生产型的编号不同。为了让你多享受59陪练的愉悦时光，我们特意把他们分开。

Concept

GAY念

In summer 1940, the US were witnessing what was happening in Europe.In particular, they had seen how German PzKpfw IVs had overrun France with 75mm guns.The Americans realised that this rendered their current 37mm armaments obsolete, and posed a threat to all their vehicles.They decided to start developing a new heavy tank to counter these news German vehicles.

1940年这个夏天，扬基佬目睹了拥有75MM大铞的德国4号坦克如何狂暴中出法国鸡，扬基佬解开裤带用放大镜和镊子找出自己装备的37MM小牙签，他们开始感到深深的自卑，并决心宅在家里锻♂炼♂身♂体、大建一发来应对德意志天下第一黑科技。

The original designs were somewhat ambitious.The tank was to be in the 80 tonnes class and was to have no less than four turrets – two partial traverse ones with 75mm guns and two full traverse turrets with 75mm guns.The tank was to be a true dreadnought of the land.

宅的想法必然是雄♂心勃勃的，首先要有至少80吨的体重和4个炮塔。两个有射界的和两个全向的75MM炮塔，仿佛陆地上的战列舰。

The T1 Heavy TankFortunately, there was a reality check and the finalised plans for what was now designated as the T1 Heavy Tank were revised and scaled down.It was now to weigh around 50 tonnes and have a 3 inch (76.2mm) gun and a coaxial 37mm gun in a single turret.It also had four machine guns and a Wright 925HP engine with a top speed of 25 miles per hour (40 km/h).

幸运的是，宅上脑的精虫还不算太多，T1方案被修改的接地气起来，减肥后T1重50吨，拥有3英寸（76.2MM）炮的单炮塔设计以及37MM同轴机炮，4挺机枪作为辅助武器，920马力发动机让他可以跑到每小时25英里（40公里/小时）的最高时速。

Four test vehicles were built in order to try out different combinations of transmission and hull types.Two of these prototypes proved successful – the T1E2 and T1E3.Both were identical apart from the form of the hull – the first had a cast hull and the second had a welded hull.

4个不同的方案组合来论证最佳配置。T1E2和T1E3这两个方案被认为是成功的，分别是铸造车体和焊接车体。

The M6 Heavy TankThe T1E2 was standardised and renamed to be the M6 Heavy Tank whilst the T1E3 became a variant known as the M6A1.Plans for production were ambitious and a target of 5000 units for manufacture was declared.At the time, the M6 was the world’s heaviest tank, although it was quickly surpassed by other models.These were the glory days of American tank production.

T1E2被标准化，该名为M6重型坦克。而T1E3成为一个被称为M6A1的变种。依旧雄♂心勃勃的生产计划达到了5000台，当时M6是世界上所有坦克里最胖最重的。这真是美系坦克的光辉岁月。

CancellationHowever, reality quickly sank in.The tank was beset with logistical problems, its huge weight making it impractical to transport it across the ocean.In testing, it performed unsatisfactorily due to a high silhouette, a relatively weak gun and poor reliability.In the meantime, the priorities for military supply had shifted from tank production to aircraft.

然而宅胖的出门都困难，跨海去作战需要搭乘的交通工具挤不上去，高大投影和依旧很小的JJ还有各种肥胖造成的小毛病不断，杨基佬最后决定还是造一些飞机去把敌人基地炸平算了。

n the end, only 40 M6 units were ever produced and none of them left US soil.Some toured the country for propaganda purposes, but in the end all but one were scrapped.

只有40台M6完成，没有一个离开过美国，宅在家里出于宣传需要当嘴炮领5毛用用而已，最后就这么胖死了。

Playing Tips

专家提醒

Despite being a heavy tank, your armour is comparable with medium tanks of the tier.

虽然你画着三道杠，但是脆的和两道杠一样。

Your side profile is large and vertical (not sloped at all) in this tank, so try to keep your front facing towards your enemies to reduce their target area.

你肥的侧面看起来比正面都宽，而且还很虚，所以你一定要正面对着别人站好

Your size can also be an advantage though, allowing you to fight effectively from behind cover or over the tops of friends who are covering your weak hull.The high position of the turret and gun mean you can fire over cover that would block other vehicles’ view range.

当然你的身材也是优势，方便你顶住队友菊花拿他当掩体，有些队友反正死了比活着价值都高。

This is the first US heavy tank available to research, so take the time to learn the different tactics involved in playing a heavy tank.Do not be afraid to stay behind and let the scouts and mediums go ahead of you.Let them engage first then roll up behind to support them whilst they keep the enemy in view. Do not grow complacent.Despite your armour and hit points, you can still be damaged and you will be a prime target for artillery, so always watch your position and try to use cover to your advantage.

这是杨基线第一辆HT，所以你就当交学费好了，让LT和MT先走，你在后面“支援”。让他们帮你压视野。不要以为你是个肌肉佬，你侧面完全可以被火炮一发入魂。多看看小地图，该卖就卖个好价钱。

If you are used to playing the T1, you will initially not notice much difference when switching to the M6.The tank looks and handles exactly the same.Be warned though, at tier VI, you will no longer be treated favourably by the match-maker and could end up in some tricky battles.Stay low, don’t take risks and just fire potshots when you have the chance.You won’t be able to do much else before you fully upgrade the vehicle.

玩过T1了再玩M6就没那么大惊小怪了，反正就是同个东西，当然作为要陪解放军叔叔打钱的6级车，压力会山大一点。低调一点，不要装B，就打金B弹，熬过去就好了。

Fortunately, once you have mounted the top gun, the world awaits you.You will now be able to do some significant damage to those higher tier vehicles, so get out there and kill them!Just be warned though – your armour is still a little fragile and you still present a huge and inviting target for artillery.Keep making good use of cover and you will be fine.

走出M6这个肥基宅后再往后就不坑了，前面的大路一片光明，你甚至可以用炮盾铁头无伤完虐高级车，虽然车体依旧很脆。炸B比以前更凶，乃至不让你安安静静的卖铁头。
