Yuri Pasholok's Q&A

Hello warriors,

大家嚎~

Yuri Pasholok - Wargaming's historian - answered some more questions!

Yuri Pasholok，WG御用“历史学家”，回答了更多问题~

- the recently leaked picture by Wargaming is nothing historical, just some thing made up by an artist:

WG最近泄露出的图片并不符合历史，只是些艺术家瞎画的：

- Yuri is not aware of other SPG projects based on Churchill chassis than the Churchill Gun Carrier. It's possible there were projects for more

Yuri不知道除了丘吉尔GC之外的基于丘吉尔底盘的SPG项目。不过有可能有更多项目

- Isreali Centurion engine compartments were standardized for the AVDS-1790-2AC diesel. It is likely not true that the Centurions used captured Soviet tank diesel engines (like the V-55) since putting such an engine in a Centurion would require a significant engine compartment overhaul

以色列的百夫长动力室为使用AVDS-1790-2AC柴油而标准化。该百夫长使用缴获的苏联坦克柴油机（如V-55）可能是不真实的，因为这样的发动机需要百夫长进行一次动力室重制

- 122mm U-11 on KV-1 in WoT is historical, the project was called KV-9 (was not mass-produced though)

WOT中用122mm U-11大喷子的KV-1是符合历史的，该项目称作KV-9（不过没有量产）

- WG has the Chinese materials on T-34-X tanks, they are very interesting but unfortunately for now there's no right to publish them

WG有T-34-X系列坦克的中文材料，这些非常有意思，不过不幸的是暂时还没权利发表它们

- Two variants of Object 430 were indeed discussed, they are mentioned in the accounting archives

430的两种方案确实讨论过了，在档案中有提到

- FV304 is a real project and despite its size six people could indeed fit in:

FV304也是真实的工程，这大小真的能装6个人：

- the Soviet SPG's (such as the Object 261) were projected with existing guns in mind, in this case the B-4. There was also the BR-2 gun with many project as well. As such the appearance of the gun on tiers 7-9 is historical.

苏联的SPG项目（如261工程）是用确实存在的炮（比如203mm B-4，7-9级的主炮）来建立的。另外一门炮BR-2也有很多项目。主炮用在7-9级是符合历史的

- apparently the Chinese "121" is the WZ-121 (the first variant with Chinese 100mm gun). Other guns were intended for the platform as well.

现在**的的“121”是WZ-121（用**自产100mm炮的第一个变种）。其他的炮也有用到

- only little info exists on "Blohn und Voss 1961" tank but enough to reconstruct its appearance apparently if necessary

有关“Blohn und Voss 1961”坦克的信息只有一点点，不过如果需要重建其外观那也足够了

- there were dozens and dozens of Soviet heavy tank projects from the 50's. Some are still secret however. In the game there are for example 2 IS-7 variants while in real life there were 7 at least

50年代有好多好多的苏联坦克项目。有些到现在都是谜。比如说，现在游戏中只有2个IS-7变种，而实际上有至少7个

- the IS-3 with BL-9 designation is not completely historical. In 1945 the BL-13 gun was designed for heavy tanks (the same as on Object 260). So basically there was an idea but the plan didn't move any further.

用BL-9的IS-3设计并不完全符合历史。1945年有一门主炮BL-13为重型而设计（260工程那门炮）。那也就是个主意，并没有继续发展下去

- there was no IS-2 variant with a 152mm gun

没有用152mm炮的变种IS-2

- there was no request towards historical department to build a third Soviet medium tank branch

历史部没被要求做第三条苏联中坦线

- the third German TD branch is unlikely to come, there is only one more tier 10 TD candidate and it's a copy of an existing one (Jpz E-100 and Jagdmaus). "Why would you need another branch of Waffenträgers without tier 10?" If there will be more German TD's, they will come separately and not as a branch.

德系3线TD不太可能出了，只有一个10级候选车，而且也是现在TD的翻版（百突和“猎鼠”）。“为啥你们想要另一条没有顶级车的武器运载车线？”如果会有更多德系TD，那也会分开加入，不会是整条线

- there is no need to expect the M6A2E1 in HD with an advanced (T29) turret, a decision was made to model the vehicle that was actually built in metal

没必要去期待高清M6A2E1用T29改进炮塔，已经决定去用真实建造过的车去建模了

- currently the developers are not working on alternative French TD branch, it would just be a copy of the first one

开发者们现在没在找法系TD分支的替代者，就算有也是现在的翻版

- there are interesting light vehicle concepts by ARL and FCM as alternatives to the ELC but they have recoilless guns and as such are banned from WoT

有ARL和FCM出的有趣的轻型概念车可作为ELC的替代者，不过那些车用的是无后座力炮，这在WOT中可不允许

- Yuri Pasholok on British light tank branch to tier 8: "As far as I know, they collected enough material for it already a long time ago."

Yuri知道的有关英系LT分支的信息：“据我所知，他们（WG？）早就准备好足够的材料了。”

- restoration of Maus "project" was closed and does not continue

复原老鼠的“项目”关闭了，没再继续下去

- Yuri does not know whether WG will have another tank restored to function. He personally works on restoring an armored cutter (a ship) but that's a different group of volunteers

Yuri不知道WG是不是要去复原其他坦克。他个人只管复原装甲船，不过有其他的志愿组
