LEMAN RUSS EXTERMINATOR

黎曼魯斯根除者

The Exterminator assault tank is a common variant of the standard Leman Russ tank, replacing its battle cannon with a twin-linked autocannon. Generally equipped with multiple heavy bolters mounted in sponsons and the hull for extra firepower, the Leman Russ Exterminator can lay down a withering hail of shells that tears apart anything that gets within its crew's gun sights. In particular by surrendering its anti-tank effectiveness for increased anti-infantry firepower, the Exterminator comes into its own when deployed to face a lightly equipped mass of enemy troops such as Ork mobs or Tyranid swarms.?

根除者型突擊坦克是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)型黎曼魯斯坦克的常見改型，其將原有的戰(zhàn)斗炮替換為了一門雙聯(lián)自動(dòng)炮。黎曼魯斯根除者通常還會(huì)在側(cè)面炮廊和車體上安裝多門重爆彈，以獲取額外火力；它能釋放出一陣猛烈的彈雨，撕碎進(jìn)入乘員火炮瞄準(zhǔn)鏡內(nèi)的一切事物。尤其值得注意的是，通過放棄反坦克效能來提升反步兵火力，在面對(duì)諸如歐克獸群或泰倫蟲群等輕裝備部隊(duì)集群時(shí)，根除者能夠大顯神通。

As with most Leman Russ designs, different patterns of the Exterminator are known to exist. The Gryphonne IV pattern turret, distinguishable by its heavily armoured gun mantlet guard and additional armour plates bolted onto the turret's sides, has twin autocannon with recoil dampeners which are just visible where the mantlet ends. It also lacks any kind of muzzle brake or flash suppressor.?

就像大多數(shù)黎曼魯斯車系坦克一樣，已知根除者也存在不同型號(hào)。Gryphonne四號(hào)型炮塔的特點(diǎn)是厚重的裝甲炮盾與螺固在其側(cè)面的額外裝甲板，雙聯(lián)自動(dòng)炮的后坐力減震器也僅可見于炮盾末端；而且該型號(hào)炮塔也沒有任何種類的炮口制動(dòng)器和消焰器。

As well as bristling with rapid firing weapons, the Exterminator is also slightly faster than a standard pattern Leman Russ battle tank,?the reduced size of its main weapons allowing for a higher top speed.?Astute tank company commanders who recognise this advantage will often include at least one Exterminator in a reconnaissance role, and Exterminators are often attached to regimental reconnaissance companies to add heavy firepower without overly affecting a reconnaissance company's all important speed and mobility. The theory being that the heavier firepower and armour of an Exterminator assault tank will give the vehicles a vital edge in their initial engagement with forward or screening enemy units.?

除了密集安裝著速射武器之外，根除者的速度也略快于標(biāo)準(zhǔn)型黎曼魯斯戰(zhàn)斗坦克，而且尺寸較小的主武器也令其具備了更快的最高時(shí)速。那些意識(shí)到這項(xiàng)優(yōu)點(diǎn)的精明坦克連隊(duì)指揮官們，通常會(huì)將至少一輛根除者納入偵查部隊(duì)；根除者也經(jīng)常被配屬到裝甲團(tuán)的偵察連隊(duì)，并能在不過度影響到偵察連極其重要的速度與機(jī)動(dòng)性的情況下，為其增添重型火力。這種策略內(nèi)含的理念是：在最初的交戰(zhàn)中，憑借更強(qiáng)悍火力與更厚重的裝甲，根除者突擊坦克能夠向前挺進(jìn)或阻擋住敵軍單位，為己方載具提供重要優(yōu)勢(shì)。

The versatility of the Exterminator assault tank has seen it fulfil many roles within an Imperial Guard armoured regiment, its rapid firing weapons, for example, are often used as a stopgap measure for anti-aircraft defence. Whilst lacking the elevation and advanced targeters to fulfil this role effectively, when needed tank commanders have used Exterminators to throw up a wall of fire against enemy air attacks with some success. Most commanders would still look to Hydras to provide such cover but they are not always available, therefore other means must be utilised as necessity dictates.?

根除者突擊坦克的多面性，令其在帝國(guó)衛(wèi)隊(duì)裝甲團(tuán)中擔(dān)任著諸多角色，例如其速射武器就經(jīng)常被用作防空的權(quán)宜手段。盡管缺乏有效承擔(dān)此類職責(zé)的仰射角和先進(jìn)瞄準(zhǔn)器，但在需要時(shí)，坦克指揮官們也曾利用根除者坦克們組成過密集的火力彈幕，以此來抵御敵方空襲，并取得了一些成功。雖然大多數(shù)指揮官仍會(huì)向九頭蛇防空炮尋求此類掩護(hù)，但他們并非總能得到，因此在必要之時(shí)，就必須采取其他手段。

LEMAN RUSS VANQUISHER?

黎曼魯斯勝戰(zhàn)者

The Vanquisher is a more sophisticated version of the basic Leman Russ battle tank. Once a more common sight wherever the Imperium's armies fought, it is becoming increasingly rare as the skills and technology required for the construction of its long battle cannon were lost when the Forge World of Tigrus was overrun by Ork Warlord Arrgard the Defiler in M35.?

勝戰(zhàn)者是更為復(fù)雜的黎曼魯斯戰(zhàn)斗坦克改型，在昔日的人類帝國(guó)戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)上。勝戰(zhàn)者也曾更為常見過，但隨著提格里斯鑄造世界在M35被獸人軍閥——阿嘎爾德攻陷，鑄造其長(zhǎng)管戰(zhàn)斗炮所需的工藝和科技遺失殆盡，它變得愈發(fā)罕見。

Such is the power of its gun and the sophistication of the weapon's ammunition there is no known armour a Vanquisher cannon cannot penetrate, even the thick armour of Titans has been known to have been punctured by a direct hit. Those Vanquishers that remain in service therefore are carefully maintained and only granted to tank crews who have demonstrated they can perform their duty unflinchingly against some of the most heavily armoured enemies the armies of the Imperial Guard face.?

勝戰(zhàn)者加農(nóng)炮的力量與彈藥的（殺傷）水平都極其優(yōu)秀，以至于其能夠擊穿已知的任何裝甲，哪怕是泰坦的厚重裝甲，也能被一發(fā)直接命中目標(biāo)的勝戰(zhàn)者炮彈所擊穿。因此那些仍在服役的勝戰(zhàn)者坦克被仔細(xì)地維護(hù)著，只有那些在面對(duì)著帝國(guó)衛(wèi)隊(duì)（所遭遇過的）某些裝甲最為厚重的目標(biāo)，也能毫不猶豫履行自己職責(zé)的坦克成員們，才會(huì)被托付此類載具。

The Vanquisher has developed a fearsome reputation amongst the Imperial Guard tank regiments that are lucky enough to field them. The gun's high level of accuracy, long range and high first-hit kill ratio make it the anti-tank weapon of choice for most commanders. Many of the Imperium's foes have come to recognise the danger a Vanquisher represents, and they quickly become high priority targets for enemy tank crews and heavy weapons.?

在那些幸運(yùn)到足以使用它們的帝國(guó)衛(wèi)隊(duì)坦克團(tuán)中間，勝戰(zhàn)者發(fā)展出了可怖的名聲。其火炮高度的精準(zhǔn)性、遠(yuǎn)射程和初次開火的高擊殺率，使之成為了大多數(shù)指揮官的反坦克武器之選。帝國(guó)的很多敵人都已經(jīng)開始認(rèn)識(shí)到勝戰(zhàn)者坦克的危險(xiǎn)性，此類載具很快就成為了敵方坦克乘員和重武器的高優(yōu)先度目標(biāo)。

Those Imperial Guard regiments equipped by certain Forge Worlds are now starting to field small but increasing numbers of Vanquishers again. Since the loss of Forge World Tigrus, the Tech-Priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus have made strenuous efforts to reproduce surviving Vanquisher cannons, meeting with limited success. Although progress has been slow and fraught with difficulty, both Gryphonne IV and Stygies VIII have been able to resurrect their own versions of the Vanquisher cannon.?

由特定鑄造世界提供裝備的那些帝國(guó)衛(wèi)隊(duì)團(tuán)，現(xiàn)在開始再度配備勝戰(zhàn)者——數(shù)量雖少，但一直在增長(zhǎng)。自從失去提格里斯鑄造世界后，機(jī)械修會(huì)的技術(shù)神甫們對(duì)現(xiàn)存的勝戰(zhàn)者加農(nóng)炮進(jìn)行了艱難復(fù)制，取得了有限的成功。雖然進(jìn)度緩慢且困難重重，但Gryphonne四號(hào)和黃泉八號(hào)都已經(jīng)能夠重新制造出自己版本的勝戰(zhàn)者加農(nóng)炮。

The Stygies VIII Vanquisher utilises a version of the Vanquisher cannon that, whilst lacking the immense length of the Gryphonne IV guns to generate shell velocity, utilises a slightly smaller calibre shell with no barrel rifling. Secret knowledge, jealously guarded by the Adeptus Mechanicus Tech-Priests of Stygies VIII, has been used to incorporate better gun stabilising and recoil dampening after each shot to counteract the worst effects of the weapon's violent kick, and tank crews report that the increased velocity from the smoothbore gun aids accuracy with the first shot, but due to increased barrel movement does not aid follow-up shots. Work is believed to be under way on Stygies VIII to rectify this, but given the sometimes decades or even centuries long approval process all adaptations to existing STC designs must endure, this is not expected to happen any time soon.?

雖然缺乏Gryphonne四號(hào)版本用于產(chǎn)生炮彈加速度的極長(zhǎng)炮管，黃泉八號(hào)的勝戰(zhàn)者加農(nóng)炮使用著口徑較小的炮彈，且沒有膛線。黃泉八號(hào)還利用自己秘密知識(shí)（這些資料都被當(dāng)?shù)氐募夹g(shù)神甫們滿懷猜疑地守護(hù)著），為炮管整合進(jìn)了更好的穩(wěn)定器和反沖阻尼器，用于在每次射擊之后抵消掉武器猛烈后座力的最壞影響；坦克成員們報(bào)告稱，滑膛炮所提升的（彈體）速度有助于（增加）第一次射擊的精度，但炮管活動(dòng)的增加不利于后續(xù)射擊。據(jù)信，黃泉八號(hào)正在進(jìn)行糾正這一缺陷的工作，但考慮到對(duì)于現(xiàn)有STC設(shè)計(jì)的一切調(diào)整，都必須忍受有時(shí)長(zhǎng)達(dá)數(shù)十年甚至數(shù)個(gè)世紀(jì)的審批過程，人們預(yù)計(jì)這項(xiàng)工作不會(huì)很快被完成。

LEMAN RUSS ERADICATOR?

黎曼魯斯滅除者

Unlike the Vanquisher, the Leman Russ Eradicator pattern is still constructed on a wide number of Forge Worlds across the Imperium —those built on Forge World Agripinaa being particularly favoured due to their reliability and the accuracy of their main weaponry. It is a popular variant of the Leman Russ battle tank, particularly amongst Cadian regiments who used it in large numbers in the battle for Khai-Zhan, an Agri World approximately one hundred light years from the Eye of Terror that had turned against the Emperor's light.?

不同于勝戰(zhàn)者，人類帝國(guó)各處的眾多鑄造世界們?nèi)栽谏a(chǎn)黎曼魯斯滅除者——由于其可靠性與主武器的精準(zhǔn)性，鑄造世界Agripinaa所制造的滅除者尤其被偏愛。這種黎曼魯斯坦克改型廣受歡迎，卡迪亞衛(wèi)軍團(tuán)尤其如此，他們?cè)贙hai-Zhan之戰(zhàn)中大量使用過此類載具——那顆農(nóng)業(yè)世界背棄了帝皇圣光，它距離恐懼之眼大約一百光年。

Best suited to urban battlefields and supporting infantry fighting in dense terrain, the Eradicator's powerful Nova cannon fires heavy high-calibre shells. Due to the unstable nature of these shells' highly reactive core, Imperial Guard commanders expect a small percentage of their own force to be wiped out due to the shells prematurely exploding whilst being loaded into a Nova cannon. This rate of attrition is considered acceptable?given the amount of damage the weapon can unleash upon the enemy if successfully fired, which is more than capable of blasting apart barricades and any enemy infantry and vehicles which may be sheltering behind them.?

滅除者強(qiáng)悍的新星加農(nóng)炮能發(fā)射大口徑炮彈，最適用于城市戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)，以及支援在密集地形中作戰(zhàn)的步兵單位。這些炮彈的高反應(yīng)性核心并不穩(wěn)定，所以帝國(guó)衛(wèi)隊(duì)指揮官們認(rèn)為：由于這些彈藥被裝填進(jìn)入新星加農(nóng)炮時(shí)（可能發(fā)生）的提前爆炸，自己的部隊(duì)會(huì)因此而少量減員。但考慮到這種武器成功開火后能對(duì)敵人釋放出的傷害，這些（部隊(duì)）損耗率也就被認(rèn)為是可接受的——畢竟新星加農(nóng)炮不僅能炸開路障街壘，還能炸碎可能躲在其后的任何敵軍步兵和載具。

Although it does not possess the long range of the Leman Russ Vanquisher or the Exterminator, its crew can still engage targets at a much greater distance than the Leman Russ Punisher, for example. It is also capable of engaging much more heavily armoured vehicles than some other Leman Russ variants, particularly those developed more recently. It doesn't however enjoy the benefits of additional rear armour which more recent patterns have been fitted with, a questionable oversight for a vehicle which is often found fighting within the streets of urban battlefields where attacks can come just as easily from behind as well as to the flank or front.?

盡管滅除者并無勝戰(zhàn)者和根除者的遠(yuǎn)射程，但其車組乘員們的進(jìn)攻距離仍舊比其他型號(hào)——例如黎曼魯斯懲戒者的要遠(yuǎn)得多。而相比于其他某些黎曼魯斯改型——尤其是新進(jìn)才發(fā)展出的那些，滅除者也能夠與裝甲遠(yuǎn)為厚重載具交戰(zhàn)。不過，滅除者也并未安裝額外的后部裝甲——這是那些新進(jìn)型號(hào)已經(jīng)配備上的；對(duì)于一種經(jīng)常在城區(qū)街道上作戰(zhàn)的載具而言，這是一項(xiàng)可疑的疏忽，因?yàn)樵诔鞘袘?zhàn)場(chǎng)中，敵人能夠輕易從后方、側(cè)方或前方發(fā)起進(jìn)攻。

LEMAN RUSS PUNISHER

黎曼魯斯懲戒者

A relatively recent addition, the Leman Russ Punisher is based upon the standard Leman Russ pattern but with a number of modifications which allow it to fulfil a vital heavy anti-infantry role that some would say has long been lacking in Imperial Guard regiments. Like the Leman Russ Executioner and the Demolisher, it is more heavily armoured to protect against attacks at close range, but where the Demolisher has been created to smash apart enemy fortifications at range, the Leman Russ Punisher is most effective at destroying enemy infantry close up especially during attacks mounted by massed horde armies such as those of the xenos Orks or Tyranids.?

黎曼魯斯懲戒者是相對(duì)新進(jìn)的型號(hào)，它基于標(biāo)準(zhǔn)型黎曼魯斯坦克建造而成，但也進(jìn)行了諸多改進(jìn)，以成為重要的重型反步兵載具——某些人說 帝國(guó)衛(wèi)隊(duì)團(tuán)中長(zhǎng)期缺乏此類單位。就像黎曼魯斯處決者與粉碎者那樣，懲戒者配備了更為厚重的裝甲，以抵御近距離攻擊；但粉碎者是從遠(yuǎn)距離擊碎敵軍要塞工事，懲戒者則是在近距離毀滅敵軍步兵時(shí)最有效，尤其是諸如歐克獸人或泰倫異形之類的大規(guī)模集群部隊(duì)。

With the tremendous rate of fire of its Punisher gatling cannon, the tank's crew can scythe through enemy numbers with devastating effect, potentially breaking a charge or, at the very least, thinning down enemy numbers sufficiently for those following behind to deal with. This makes the Leman Russ Punisher predominantly an infantry support vehicle and squadrons of them will often be placed at the head of an advancing Imperial Guard force to clear the way ahead.?

憑著懲戒者轉(zhuǎn)膛炮那可怖的開火速率，乘員們能以毀滅性的效率減少敵軍（步兵）數(shù)量；這種進(jìn)攻可能會(huì)打斷一次沖鋒，或至少能令敵軍減員到足以讓己方后續(xù)部隊(duì)將其解決。因此黎曼魯斯懲戒者主要擔(dān)任步兵支援載具的角色，前進(jìn)中的帝國(guó)衛(wèi)軍部隊(duì)經(jīng)常以懲戒者中隊(duì)打頭陣，以清理出前方的道路。

As the army's frontlines relentlessly advance however resupply can prove hard to come by, so Punisher crews will often strip out all non-essential equipment inside their vehicle to cram as much ammunition as possible onboard before setting off. This enables them to remain in battle much longer than would be expected especially given the well-deserved trigger-happy reputation most Punisher crews enjoy. There is though a fine line beyond which the Punisher's effectiveness diminishes as, having sacrificed the Leman Russ' renown anti-tank capability for anti-infantry firepower, once an enemy's armour catches up with its infantry the Punisher may quickly find itself outgunned and vulnerable.?

不過，隨著部隊(duì)前線的無情推進(jìn)，補(bǔ)給也會(huì)變得難以跟上，所以在出發(fā)前，懲戒者坦克的乘員通常會(huì)移除載具內(nèi)的所有非必要設(shè)備，并盡可能多地裝載彈藥。這將確保他們持續(xù)戰(zhàn)斗的時(shí)間能比預(yù)期中要長(zhǎng)的多——尤其是考慮到大多數(shù)懲戒者乘員都享有著當(dāng)之無愧的好戰(zhàn)名聲。不過，只要超過了那條很細(xì)微的界限，懲戒者的效能便會(huì)下降；由于犧牲了黎曼魯斯車系著名的反坦克能力以換取反步兵火力，一旦敵軍的裝甲部隊(duì)趕上了自己的步兵同伴，懲戒者很快就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己是脆弱且處于火力劣勢(shì)的。

LEMAN RUSS DEMOLISHER

黎曼魯斯粉碎者

Although the big guns of the Imperium are highly effective, few Imperial Guard commanders are willing to hold their regiments in reserve for too long whilst an artillery barrage of an enemy's fortifications is undertaken. However should the order to attack be given too soon then frontline troops will often be faced by a foe still heavily dug-in and well protected. At some point in the Imperium's distant past, the Leman Russ pattern was modified to provide a solution for this and the Demolisher was created.?

雖然帝國(guó)的大型火炮極為高效，但當(dāng)炮兵部隊(duì)轟炸敵軍要塞時(shí)，很少有帝國(guó)衛(wèi)隊(duì)指揮官愿意讓自己的部隊(duì)原地待命。不過，倘若進(jìn)攻命令下達(dá)過快，當(dāng)前線部隊(duì)趕到時(shí)，其面對(duì)的敵人往往還躲在戰(zhàn)壕深處，防御充足。在人類帝國(guó)遙遠(yuǎn)過去的某個(gè)時(shí)刻，黎曼魯斯坦克被進(jìn)行了改造以解決此類問題，粉碎者應(yīng)運(yùn)而生。

The Leman Russ Demolisher is a heavily armoured, mobile siege tank built for one role, that of line breaking. Designed to move up to within close range of an enemy stronghold or other fortification, and often whilst under heavy fire, its Demolisher cannon can blast apart all but the most heavily reinforced structures, creating an opening infantry and other armour can surge through to attack those inside who have somehow managed to survive its devastating barrage.?

黎曼魯斯粉碎者是裝甲厚重的移動(dòng)式攻城坦克，它被建造的目的就只有一個(gè)，那就是突破戰(zhàn)線。粉碎者被設(shè)計(jì)用于移動(dòng)到敵軍據(jù)點(diǎn)或其他工事的近距離范圍內(nèi)，而且通常是頂著猛烈的炮火；其裝備著的粉碎者加農(nóng)炮能炸開幾乎最為堅(jiān)固的建筑物，創(chuàng)造出一道缺口，供步兵和其他裝甲單位沖入其內(nèi)部，消滅那些從毀滅性炮擊中幸存下來的敵人們。

LEMAN RUSS EXECUTIONER?

黎曼魯斯處決者

Originally developed during the Dark Age of Technology, to the tech-savants of the 41st Millennium the Executioner is a shining example of the heights to which Mankind rose during that glorious period of scientific achievement. One of the oldest variants of the standard Leman Russ battle tank, ancient records stored within Adeptus Mechanicus archives on Mars indicate that during the Great Crusade the Imperial Army fielded entire armoured regiments of Executioners; those days, however, are long gone and over the thousands of years since, knowledge of its plasma weapon technology has been irrevocably lost.?

處決者坦克最初是在黑暗科技時(shí)代被開發(fā)出的，對(duì)于第41個(gè)千年的技術(shù)學(xué)者們而言，它是一件閃耀的案例，標(biāo)志著人類在科學(xué)成就的光輝時(shí)代所達(dá)到的高度。處決者是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)型黎曼魯斯戰(zhàn)斗坦克最古老的改型之一，儲(chǔ)存在火星技術(shù)修會(huì)檔案館中的古老記錄表明：早在大遠(yuǎn)征時(shí)代，帝國(guó)軍便部署過完整的處決者坦克裝甲團(tuán)；但自從關(guān)于其電漿武器的技術(shù)知識(shí)不可挽回地遺失之后，那些歲月便已逝去數(shù)千年之久。

The Executioner is now rarely seen within the armies of the Imperium, with only Ryza still manufacturing it for issue to the Imperial Guard. Renowned within the Adeptus Mechanicus for its knowledge of the mystical arts of plasma reactor and magnetic containment field construction, the Forge World's own Skitarii regiments are almost exclusively equipped with Executioners, harking back to its heyday so long ago.?

時(shí)至今日，在帝國(guó)的大軍中，處決者坦克成為了罕見的裝備，因?yàn)橹挥腥鹪栽谥圃齑祟愝d具供帝國(guó)衛(wèi)隊(duì)使用。在機(jī)械修會(huì)內(nèi)部，瑞扎因其關(guān)于電漿反應(yīng)堆和磁力抑制場(chǎng)建造的神秘藝術(shù)而聞名，該鑄造世界的護(hù)教軍部隊(duì)幾乎只配備處決者坦克，這番場(chǎng)景令人們回憶起很久之前的（帝國(guó)）鼎盛時(shí)代。

Like its smaller cousins, the tank's plasma destroyer cannon is a temperamental but ultimately devastating weapon of war. It is especially effective against heavily armoured infantry, its pulsed plasma bursts incinerating the Emperor's enemies in a focussed beam of incandescent light which burns with the fury of the sun. During short engagements the plasma cannon comes into its own, but over protracted fire fights the weapon is less reliable, the time required to recharge its photonic fuel cell often putting the vehicle and its crew at risk during the fast-paced frenzy of battle.?

就像自己的小號(hào)親族們那樣，電漿毀滅炮是喜怒無常但也極具毀滅性的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)武器。它在對(duì)付重甲步兵單位時(shí)尤為高效，脈沖電漿體會(huì)聚集成一道白熾的光束，以恒星怒火般的溫度燒焦帝皇之?dāng)?。在短期交?zhàn)中，電漿炮能夠大顯神通，但在長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的交火中，它就會(huì)變得不那么可靠；在快節(jié)奏的猛烈戰(zhàn)斗中，光子燃料艙充能所需的時(shí)間常常會(huì)令載具及其乘員都處于危險(xiǎn)中。

Given the ferocious temperatures generated by the plasma cannon when it is fired, the Ryza pattern turret incorporates emergency vents to disperse the heat from each shot. These are positioned on the forward turret sides, with the crew further screened by protective heat shielding. This is enough to save them in the event of a minor breach in the cannon's containment field, allowing them time to escape. If the worst should happen however, a catastrophic containment field failure can result in the destruction of the entire vehicle and a large area around it.?

考慮到電漿炮開火時(shí)產(chǎn)生的高溫，瑞扎型炮塔被整合進(jìn)了緊急散熱口，以分散每次射擊產(chǎn)生的熱量。散熱口位于炮塔前端側(cè)面，隔熱屏障則進(jìn)一步保護(hù)著乘員們。當(dāng)電漿炮的磁力抑制場(chǎng)出現(xiàn)微小裂隙時(shí)，這些安全措施足以拯救乘員，讓他們有時(shí)間逃跑。不過，倘若出現(xiàn)了最糟糕的情況——抑制場(chǎng)出現(xiàn)了災(zāi)難性的故障失靈，那整輛載具及其周邊的大片區(qū)域都將被摧毀。

To reduce this risk many Ryza pattern Executioners incorporate a chemical coolant system towards the rear of the turret comprising twin coolant feed lines. These run across the top of the turret to the weapon, but are exposed and can be severed by enemy fire, making the emergency cooling system less than reliable, and is a factor contributing to a green tank crew's willingness to abandon an Executioner at the first sign of any problems. Any crewman bailing out of his tank, however, faces severe punishment, if not immediate death, from the regiment's Commissars if his crime is discovered!?

為了減少此類風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，很多瑞扎型處決者坦克都在炮塔后端安裝一套化學(xué)冷卻系統(tǒng)，其中包括了兩條冷卻劑進(jìn)料管線。管線從炮塔頂端延伸到武器處，但敵人的炮火能切斷這些暴露在外的管路，這使得緊急冷卻系統(tǒng)不那么可靠，也導(dǎo)致處決者只要一出現(xiàn)任何問題的初期跡象，乘員們便會(huì)棄車逃亡。但是，倘若他們的罪行被發(fā)現(xiàn)，所有逃出坦克的乘員們即便未被團(tuán)部政委立刻處決，也會(huì)遭受嚴(yán)厲的責(zé)罰。
