- in the new patch of WoWp, there is an option to select the hangar you want. It’s unclear whether this will come to WoT as well
在新的战机世界补丁中，有一个选项可以让你自己选择想要的车库，还不清楚这个功能是否会出现在坦克世界上
- the accuracy (hit) distribution (within aim circle) “won’t be possible to be called normal from mathematical point of view, the chance for a hit to the edges of the circle will be extremely small”, the distribution will apparently be reworked
精度分布（在瞄准圈以内）”从数学角度上来说不可能能称之为正常的“，炮弹落在瞄准圈边缘的几率太低了，这样的分布情况显然需要重做。
- Storm states that when it comes to mobility, the Fury is similiar to the current M4A3E8 due to improved terrain resistance
Storm谈到机动时指出，Fury版与目前的M4A3E8比较相似，原因是提升了履带适应性。
Regarding the Sherman Fury Armor
关于Fury版谢尔曼的装甲

Hello everyone,
各位，
as you probably know by now, there’s a Sherman Fury in the game (a tier 6 premium medium tank). It’s being sold on ASIA server (not sure about the US, it’s not on EU yet however).
现在为止你们可能知道了，游戏中有一辆Fury版的谢尔曼（一辆6级金币MT），正在亚服开卖（美服不确定，欧服还没）
It is no secret that the Fury E8 has quite different armor layout than the regular Sherman E8 (we are talking about the elite turret now). Let’s make a quick comparison. This is the regular E8 (in Fury-corresponding configuration):
Fury版谢尔曼在装甲分布上与普通版谢尔曼有很大的不同已不是秘密 （我们现在讨论的是精英炮塔），让我们来快速的比较下。下图是普通E8
And this is the Fury E8:
下图是FuryE8
At first glance, you can notice significant differences on the hull:
乍一看，你能注意到在车体上两处明显不同的地方：
- the original E8 has the entire lower part 101mm thick. The Fury has only a small strip of very thick armor on lower frontal plate (108mm thick), while the rest of the lower frontal plate is 50,8mm thick (easily penetrable)
原版E8整个首下都是101mm厚。Fury版本在首下正面只有一小条是108mm，其它部分是50.8mm，易被击穿。
- upper part of the frontal plate is 63,5mm thick for both models
两个模型首上都是63.5mm
- the frontal hull roof thickness increased from 19,5mm to 25,4mm, the sides thickness is more or less the same
正面车体顶部的厚度从19.5增加到25.4mm，侧边甲或多或少都一样
- Fury has ticker space armor rim, protecting the turret rotator mechanism
Fury的间隙装甲更厚一些，保护炮塔的旋转装置。
The biggest change however happened to the turret. On the pictures above, you can see how the mantlet covers the entire frontal of the turret in both cases. But there’s a catch. Check this out – this is the regular E8 Sherman turret, with the mantlet (in both cases 89mm thick) removed:
最大的变化还是炮塔，上述图片中，你可以看出两种情形下炮盾是覆盖整个炮塔正面的，但有一点，看下这个——普通谢尔曼在移除炮盾后的装甲分布图（两种情况下都89mm）
And this is the Fury turret:
下图是Fury版的炮塔：
In words – the old E8 basically has an 89mm mantlet over 76,2mm frontal turret armor, giving the deep violet zone a protection level of 165,2mm mostly. The Fury on the other hand has a giant hole behind the 89mm mantlet, which means that most of the frontal turret has only 89mm protection. Additionally, compared to the new model, the upper part of the turret (above the mantlet) was nerfed from 76,2mm to 44,5mm. Together, this all means that the Fury turret is MUCH easier to penetrate than the old E8 turret.
换句话说——旧版谢尔曼有一块89mm炮盾在76.2mm正面炮塔装甲上，让这个蓝紫色的区域几乎有了一个165.2mm级别的防御能力。Fury版希尔曼在89mm炮塔后面有一个打洞，这也意味着它的炮塔正面防御只有89mm的防御。此外，相比较新的模型，炮塔上部分厚度从76.2削弱到44.5。总的来说就是F 版炮塔是相当容易被击穿的。
Additionally, the Fury is 4 tons heavier (this is unhistorical according to Hunnicutt by cca 1 ton), gun depression nerfed from -12 to -10 (historical) and has lower maximum speed (nerfed to 41,8 km/h, this is historical). But is the armor nerf historical? Is there a really such a hole in real life?
还有，F版谢尔曼有4吨重 （这还是在非史实的情况下少了大约1吨），炮的俯角从-12°削弱到-10° （符合史实），极速过低（削弱到41.8km/h,这是符合历史的），但是削弱装甲符合历史吗？现实中真的存在这样一个大洞？
Yup. There is. So, why was it modelled differently until now? Well, two reasons really.
是的，确实有，问题来了，为什么直到现在才在建模上不一样呢？好吧，2个原因：
- the original M4A3E8 model is very, very old, it was in the first American line and all that. Back then, the developers didn’t really care about historical accuracy that much.
原版谢尔曼模型真的很老、很老了，在有美国线的时候就有了。在那时，开发人员不是真的很关心历史的准确性
- at that point, instead of accuracy, the developers cared about the “line continuity” and the “distinctive feature of American tanks”, which were, as you know, very tough turrets. And so, they buffed the turret unhistorically by not using the “hole” behind the mantlet at all (earlier 75mm models had it smaller, but it still was there) to produce the “tough turret” element at the expense of historicity
在那时候，代替准确性的（更注重的是），开发人员关心的是美国车辆的“线路延续性”和“特色”，就像你知道的那样，很硬的炮塔。因此，开发人员在不符合历史的情况下加强了那个炮塔，牺牲了历史，忽略掉了炮盾后面的那个洞。
Things have changed since then, the boundaries between lines have blurred. French are no longer the only ones with autoloaders, Germans don’t have long range fighting exlusivity in the game anymore and not all Americans have tough turrets. What this however means for us is the fact that when the original E8 gets reworked to the HD standard, its armor will probably change to resemble the current Fury layout. According to Storm, it will not happen anytime very soon, but it will happen at some point. So be ready.
后来事情有了变化，线路间的界限越来越模糊。法系不在只有它们才有弹夹，德系在游戏中也不再是只有他们才可以在长距离上战斗了，并不是所有的美国车都有铁头。这也意味着原版谢尔曼E8在高清化时装甲可能会改为目前Fury版的装甲分布。据Storm所说，变化不会很快发生。
