I'm Luke and you are watching “Science of Victory”

我是 Luke，您現在收看的是「勝利方程式」

As we continue to learn the basics of the “Team Battle” mode, today's topic is medium tanks.

我們繼續學習「團隊作戰」模式的基本知識，今天的主題是中型戰車

There are not as many medium tanks as heavies, but that doesn't make the choice any easier.

雖然中型戰車在數量上不比重型戰車，但也沒想像中的好選

Plus you need to know what mediums are useful for when taking one into your team.

另外，你還需要瞭解中型戰車在團隊中的用途

As many commanders do pretty well without them.

許多指揮官不用中型戰車也做的很好

So I will say this:

所以，我要說的是

If you like to play offensively then one or two Meds can make your team more mobile and help you stray from standard tactics.

如果你喜歡進攻，那麼一、兩輛中型戰車可以讓你的隊伍更加靈活，並幫你脫離標準戰術

Remember that although they are not standard or a win-button for victory and aren't without their problems; they are an alternative.

請記住：雖然中型戰車不是必備條件或取勝關鍵，也有其他問題，但也算另一種選擇

Let's say you decided to put a medium tank into your line-up, but which one?

假設你決定在隊伍加入一輛中型戰車，要選哪一輛？

The parameters of most of the tier 8 Meds are very similar.

大多數 8 級中型戰車數值非常近似

However only three are popular among professional players.

但是，只有三輛非常受職業玩家們的歡迎

They are the Pershing, the Object 416 and the T69.

那就是：Pershing、Object 416和 T69

These tanks are very different, so hard to compare.

這些戰車差異很大，難以比較

Let's review the features of each one individually; we will also discuss why these tanks are useful for Team Battles.

我們單獨看看它們的特徵，談論這些戰車為什麼在團隊作戰比較有用

As like the other episodes, this advice is from the Na`Vi player PowerSlide.

與其它幾集一樣，該建議來自 Na`Vi 玩家 PowerSlide

We will start with the most popular tank:

我們先從最受歡迎的戰車開始

The M26 Pershing.

M26 Pershing

This is the most used Med Tank in Team Battles.

這是團隊作戰中最常用的中型戰車

But why?

為什麼呢？

The average damage per minute isn't that high… it's about usual for the tier, but far lower than the highest.

每分鐘平均傷害值並不高…與同級相比並不出色，更難以和最高的相提並論

It's durability is 1440 HP, certainly not bad.

它的耐久是 1440 HP，還算不錯

In mobility, it's okay but there are much more mobile tanks.

靈活性方面還可以，但是靈活性更高的比比皆是

The armour is better than most, but not the best.

它的裝甲比大多數好，但也不算頂尖

So what's its secret?

那麼，它的祕密是什麼？

It's simple! The M26 doesn't have any obvious faults!

很簡單！M26 沒有任何明顯的缺點！

It's a great all-round tank with one special advantage:

它是一輛很棒的全面性戰車，還有一個特別優勢

The Pershing's frontal turret armour is amazing.

Pershing 的正面砲塔裝甲非常出色

The numbers by themselves don't look too impressive, but in reality things are different.

裝甲數值並不是很驚人，但實戰大不相同

Thanks to this armour, even with premium shells the enemy has a hard time getting through the Pershing's turret.

多虧這種裝甲，敵人即使是發射加值彈藥也很難穿透 Pershing 的炮塔

Experienced players know this well and use this advantage on city maps and maps with complex terrain.

經驗豐富的玩家都深知這點，並在城市地圖和地形比較複雜的地圖上面發揮這項優勢

All this coupled with great elevation angles makes it powerful.

上述所有優點再搭配絕佳仰角讓它威力無窮

The Pershing also has good view range and aiming time.

Pershing 還具有良好的視野和瞄準時間

Besides the commonly known numbers there things that most don't know; like gun stabilization on the move.

除了眾所皆知的數值外，還有些大多數人不知道的，比如說：移動時主砲的穩定性

It's fantastic on the Pershing.

這就是 Pershing 的奇特之處

This tank lets you successfully shoot at the enemy on the move.

這輛戰車可以讓你在移動時成功擊中敵人

Right, got that? Good, as we move on to the next tank.

好了，明白了吧？好，我們換下一輛戰車

The Object 416.

Object 416

This Soviet steel monster was introduced recently.

這輛蘇聯鋼鐵怪獸是最近才引進的

And it was instantly used by many pro players for Team Battles.

立刻就被專業玩家編入團隊作戰

Let's take a look.

讓我們來一探究竟

First of all the Object has the highest damage per minute of all tier 8 Meds; 2400!

首先，Object 416擁有傲視全 8 階中型戰車的每分鐘傷害值，高達 2400！

For your information; the closest competitor has less than 2000.

讓大家了解：最接近的戰車還不到 2000

One shot from this tank can deal up to four hundred points of damage.

這輛戰車一砲可以造成最高 400 點的傷害

This is one of the best for this class and tier!

這在同類型與同階戰車當中堪稱最佳！

The mobility of the Soviet tank is also pretty good.

這輛蘇聯戰車的靈活性也相當不錯

This is especially true for turn speed.

尤其是對轉向速度來說

It has NO competitors in this field; it's fast, mobile and has a low profile.

它在這方面無可匹敵；快速、靈活並且車身低矮

Thanks to this, shots frequently miss it!

正因於此，砲彈難以擊中

And thanks to its small size; the 416 also has a great camouflage value.

由於體積小，416 的偽裝值也很高

Plus the Object has similar stabilization to the Pershing.

另外，Object 416穩定性與 Pershing 相似

Not everything is perfect, though.

不過，它並非完美無缺

The tank also has some faults.

這輛戰車也有缺點

Weak armour and low HP are among them.

裝甲薄弱、HP較低

These are minor, however when comparing to the tank's biggest flaws: its elevation angles

不過和最大的缺點「仰角」相比，這些缺點都微不足道

And the fact its turret only rotates by 150 degrees.

實際上，它的炮塔只能旋轉 150 度

By the way, if you didn't notice it's located in the back of the hull.

如果大家沒注意到的話，我順便提一下：它的砲塔位於車身後方

This means that the engine is in the front, so often catches fire when shot in the front.

這表示引擎前置，前面被擊中很容易起火

The Object 416 is a tank that has lots of strengths and weaknesses.

Object 416有著眾多的優點和缺點

Keep that in mind.

要記住這一點

Another popular choice for a Med is the T69.

另外一輛非常受歡迎的中型戰車是 T69

Good acceleration, elevation angles and view range.

它的加速度、仰角和視野範圍都很好

The numbers are close to those of the Pershing, but its use is really different because it's an auto-loader!

各數值與 Pershing 很接近，但真正的差異在於它採用自動裝填

One drum holds four shells with an average damage of 240.

一個彈夾有四發砲彈，平均傷害值 240

Though it's hard to make use of them, because the reload time between shots is just 2 seconds and the aim time is 2.9.

但在活用上比較困難，兩次射擊之間的重新裝填時間只有 2 秒，而瞄準時間為 2.9 秒

So you face a choice – either you finish aiming and lose valuable seconds,

所以面臨的抉選是…要嘛等待瞄準完成、損失一些寶貴的時間…

or shoot everything at maximum speed with a higher chance to fail at penetrating the armour.

要嘛以最快的速度射擊，但很可能無法射穿裝甲

The full reload time of the drum is 27 seconds.

彈夾的完整重新裝填時間是 27 秒

This is almost two times faster than that of the French AMX 50 100.

這幾乎比法國 AMX 50 100 快兩倍

It's even faster than 13-90, but don't compare the 69 with the French LT.

甚至比13-90 都快，但是不要將T69與 French LT相比較

These vehicles are really different.

這些戰車大不相同

The T69 isn't a bold scout it's closer to a support tank.

T69 不算是勇猛的偵查車，而是更接近於支援戰車

Its play style is closer to the French heavy rather than LT.

它的作戰風格更接近法國重型戰車而非LT

This tank also has a big problem with its AP shells lack of armour penetration, so you'll have to often use premium shells to be effective.

這輛戰車還有一個很大的問題，那就是它的 AP 砲彈裝甲穿透力不足，所以必須經常使用加值砲彈才能生效

If you want to win, that is.

如果你想贏得戰鬥，就得這樣

There is a catch, however; The T69s premium shells are HEAT.

還有一個問題，T69 使用的高級炮彈是 HEAT

It doesn't seem to be a problem at first sight as the Object 416 also has HEAT,

乍看似乎沒什麼問題，因為 Object 416也用 HEAT 砲彈

but the Soviet Med has 330mm of penetration, whilst the American only has 250.

但蘇聯中型戰車的裝甲穿透力有 330mm，而美國只有 250mm

Some will say that the Pershing only has a bit more; but you must consider the difference between APCR and HEAT.

有人會說Pershing 只多了一點，但你必須考慮到 APCR 和 HEAT 之間的差異

The HEATs are weakened by spaced armour a lot.

間隙式裝甲使 HEAT 砲彈削弱很多

Given that the tracks also act as spaced armour, it often goes like this:

因為履帶也視為間隙式裝甲，情況通常會是這樣

you shoot an enemy in the roller at a decent angle and there's no damage.

你以良好的角度擊中敵人的車輪，結果卻未造成傷害

It's sad, but you need to be prepared for this.

很可悲，但你必須做好準備

By the way, I'll remind you that the HEAT shells are not affected by normalization rules.

另外，我得提醒大家，HEAT 炮彈不受規範化規則的影響

If you don't know what those are I recommend you to watch the “Explaining Mechanics” show.

如果大家不知道這些規則是什麼，我建議你們看一下「機制解密」節目

It clears things up pretty well. The link is in the description.

這個節目解釋的很清楚，說明中將提供連接

What about the other Meds?

那麼其它中型戰車怎樣呢？

On paper the T44, Panther II, Centurion and the Chinese Look good.

理論上，T44、Panther II、Centurion 和中國看起來都不錯

However the Soviet Med has lousy elevation angles and a weak turret.

但是，蘇聯中型戰車的仰角很糟糕，砲塔也很薄

The Panther lacks acceleration; it accelerates even slower than some heavies!

Panther加速度不足，甚至比一些重型戰車還差！

The British has low speed and damage per shot; plus it's a really big target!

英國速度較慢，每次射擊傷害值也較低，而且體積比較大！

The main faults of the Chinese are elevation angles, aiming speed and gun accuracy.

中國的主要缺點在於仰角、瞄準速度和主砲準確度

In these terms the Type 59 looks a bit better than its brethren, but it's not good enough to compete with the Pershing, for example.

在這方面，59 式看起來好一點，但是與 Pershing相比也不夠優秀

So only experienced tankers will be able to constantly win with these vehicles in “Team Battles”.

因此，只有經驗豐富的車長能夠在「團隊作戰」中利用這些戰車不斷取勝

For the beginners out there:

對新手而言

Don't experiment.

不建議輕易嘗試

Experienced players have already tested everything.

經驗豐富的高手們已經測試了一切可能

So at first follow this advice to get good results:

所以， 剛起步還是建議遵照這些經驗，已取得良好戰果

The best medium tanks for “team battles” are the M26 Pershing, the Object 416 and the T69.

最適合「團隊作戰」的中型戰車為：M26 Pershing、Object 416和 T69

If you want to have a Med in your team, pick one of these.

如果你想在隊伍中加入中型戰車，那就從中挑一輛吧

The first one is balanced and all-purpose.

第一輛比較均衡、全面

The other two are pretty specialised and hard to use, but are good as well.

其他兩輛雖然很有專精且難以操控，但也非常出色

Keep this in mind; Not all players and commanders can use such tanks to its fullest.

記住：並非所有玩家和指揮官都能充分運用這些戰車

In case you don't have the needed Meds, just pick one of the heavies I discussed in the previous episode.

如果你不需要中型戰車，就挑一輛上集節目中討論的重型戰車

Believe me, this will go better for you.

相信我，這樣更適合你

Don't torture your team and yourself with defeats by playing the “wrong vehicles”

不要用「選錯戰車」所造成的戰敗來折磨你和你的隊伍

But it's your call.

不過你一切都以你的決定為主

I think that's all.

我們就談到這邊
