This is something I foundrecently, could make a decent lowtier German tank destroyer. Most people knowthe Marder III Ausf.M vehicle - it was built on the 38(t) Ausf.M chassis, whichwas modified by moving the engine to the middle, giving the vehicle itsdistinctive look (with the superstructure moved in the back). It*s sad thatAusf.M will most likely not appear in World of Tanks, at least not in the 2ndGerman branch - I can speculate the reason for that is that the Marder IIIAusf.H was equipped historically with both the Pak 36(r) and Pak 40 guns (likethe Marder II was), while Ausf.M only carried the Pak 40/3.

　　這是SS最近才發(fā)現(xiàn)的一個小玩意，可以當(dāng)一部很好的德國低級坦殲。許多人都了解黃鼠狼IIIM型，以38t M型的車體為基礎(chǔ)，將引擎移至中部，使得這個坦克具備了獨(dú)特的外觀(戰(zhàn)斗室后置)。據(jù)稱黃IIIM型不太可能出現(xiàn)在WoT中(至少在德國TD2線中)---SS猜測原因是歷史上的黃IIIH裝備了Pak 36(r)和Pak 40，而M型卻只有PaK 40/3

　　Either way, in 1944 there was anattempt to modify the Ausf.M chassis into yet another universal Waffentr?ger.It started as a M?rsertr?ger (mortar carrier), but gradually more guns wereenvisaged.

　　不管怎么說，在1944年，有將M型的車體改裝成另一部通用武器運(yùn)載車的計劃。一開始是作為迫擊炮載車設(shè)計，但是后來逐漸采用了更多的主炮。

　　As you can see, thedefining difference is the very steep sloped frontal armor (67 degrees in fact)- more parameters (such as the armor thickness) are unknown. It was projectedto be equipped with various guns: 50mm, 73mm, 81mm, 100mm and finally 210mmmortars (in its "mortar carrier" variant), but also with 75mm and100mm low-pressure guns, 75mm PaK and finally, 75mm, 105mm and even 150mmhowitzers.

　　從上圖可以看出來，該坦克的一個明顯特征是傾角非常大的正面裝甲(法線67度)，但是諸如厚度一類的數(shù)據(jù)還未知曉，它計劃裝備多種主炮：50mm，73mm，81mm，100mm甚至210mm迫擊炮(在其“迫擊炮運(yùn)載車”的變體上)，還有75mm和100mm低膛壓火炮，75mmPaK系列，75mm、105mm甚至150mm榴彈炮。

　　In the end, theproject was rejected. Only one mockup was ever made in 1944 and after that, theGermans (who preferred the Waffentr?ger designs based on 38(d) platform, seeing- correctly - the original 38(t) as insufficient) lost interest and the projectwas scrapped.

　　但是最后，該方案被放棄，僅在1944年造出了一部樣車。之后，德國人(偏好基于38(d)底盤的武器運(yùn)載車---他們是明智的---38(t)的車體已經(jīng)沒有多少潛力可以挖掘)便對此失去了興趣。
