大家好，这里是掉线许久霸王科普系列，原作者是欧服同样掉线许久的Volkketten
这次是关于克里斯蒂的一些坦克，两栖坦克以及自行火炮设计

3连发150瞪谁谁怀孕

Those of youwith long memories may recall that WoT once showed a US tech tree with Christie tanks on it. On that tree there was the M.1919, and M.1921 attier 2, the M.1931 and M.1932 at tier 3 and the M.1935 at Tier 4.Since then not a lot has changed but I have gathered together as many of thesources reputable and otherwise on the subject to give a run down for people asto the totality as far as possible of the vehicle options we have.
很早很早以前WOT的美系科技树中曾经出现过克里斯蒂坦克的分支：M.1919和M.1921作为2级车，M.1931和M.1932作为3级车，M.1935则放在4级。从那个科技树公布之日起到现在，克里斯蒂线的内容都没有发生多少变化。不过Volketten搜集到了一些真实度很高的资料，据此可以为玩家构建出一条尽可能完整的克里斯蒂坦克线

M.1919 (possiblyin Maryland, USA under trials in 1919)
M.1919（可能摄于马里兰州，1919年美国陆军对其进行测试时的场景）

Carrying a 57mm 6-pounder gun this is a rather well armed tank for 1919 albeitwith a rather modest 25mm thick maximum of armour(considered sufficient to stopa .50 calibre bullet). Based on a truck chassis, this sturdy 13.5 ton tankpowered by a 6 cylinder 120hp engine was capable of 7mph on tracks and, onwheels, 14mph. This is also reports as 11/21 respectively. It is running onChristie Patented suspension (filed 1921) derived from the M.1919 8”self-propelled gun. (See Part 2)
尽管最大装甲厚度仅有25mm，但是装备了57mm6磅炮的M.1919型在当年而言也算是一个防护较好的坦克（足以防御12.7mm子弹）。这部皮实的坦克以卡车底盘为基础设计，重约13.5吨，由一台6缸120马力引擎驱动，履带状态下最大前进速度为7mph，轮式状态下则为14mph，也有一种说法称两种状态下的极速分别为11/21mph。它采用克里斯蒂的专利悬挂（注册于1921年），该悬挂的设计源于M.1919式8英寸自行火炮（详见第二部分）
The M. 1919 wasdetermined to be mechanically unreliable with the engine and transmissionbasically inaccessible and the tracks being ‘poorly designed’.
但经过测试，军方发现M.1919型引擎并不可靠，传动系统所处位置难于检修，履带设计也较为拙劣

M.1921

(还是WG的早期卫星之一，不过现在还和田中母亲处于同一轨道高度)
Very very little is written on this tank but it appears to be a decent designfor the era. The design has now evolved to incorporate added side plates and aroomy turret with the same 57mm 6-pounder gun and a machine gun in a second topturret. Armour should be expected to be the same as the M.1919 but clearly withimproved tracks and what appears to be access doors in the glacis armour.(Right hand image shows mantlet removed).
这部坦克的相关资料可谓少之又少，但是在那个年代而言确实是一个优秀的设计。它在增加侧面防护、增大炮塔内可用空间的同时保留了M.1919型的57mm6磅炮，并在车顶的小炮塔内加装了一挺机枪。总体防护水平和M.1919型接近，不过换装了新型履带，倾斜装甲上也设置了检修用的舱门。（右图显示的是炮盾拆除的状态）

M.1921 (我知道重名了)

Christie appears to have recycled a lot of the components from the M.1919 tomake this turretless tank. It had the same 120hp engine and same performancebut with the 57mm 6-pounder now mounted right in the noise of the vehicleflanked by two .30 calibre machine guns. Armour is variously given as ¼” to ¾”up to 1 inch. It was reported to have become stuck in a ditch during trials inJune of 1922. A contemporary account of the trials described a 2.24” gun andthat despite weighing 14 tons, a 9 ton version was available.
为了弄出这样一部无炮塔坦克，克里斯蒂似乎从M.1919型上扒拉了很多零件下来。M.1921型与1919型采用相同的120马力引擎，不过其57mm6磅炮被移至车鼻右侧，旁边还增设了2挺7.62mm机枪。装甲方面，不同资料给出的数据不同，从1/4或3/4英寸到1英寸不等。据称M.1921型在1922年进行的测试中表现一塌糊涂。测试档案中还提到了该车装备的2.24英寸（57mm）炮。该车全重14吨，也有另一个9吨的方案。

M.1927

Again, very, very little known other than this image. It is possible this isjust the lightened version of the M.1921 as it is noticeably shorter and withsimplified suspension.
除了上面这张图，有关这车的资料也是少之甚少。M.1927型也许只是M.1921型的轻量化版本，车身长度有所缩短，悬挂也得到了简化
