The Predator is a battle tank employed by the Space Marines. It is a more heavily armed and armoured version of the Rhino personnel carrier. There are two major patterns of Predator, the Destructor and the Annihilator, primarily distinguished by their specific weaponry. The Blood Angels and their Successor Chapters employ the assault-oriented Baal Predator.
掠食者是星际战士使用的战斗坦克。它是犀牛运兵车的重型武装和装甲版本。掠食者有两种主要型号,破坏者和歼灭者,主要区别在于它们的特定武器。圣血天使和他们的子战团应用了攻击导向的巴尔掠夺者。

Predator Tank 掠食者坦克
Construction of Predators remains restricted to a Chapter's Armoury or allied Forge World, with most Chapters fielding between twenty to thirty of all types. However, some Chapters are known to contain several hundred battle tanks, though that number includes Land Raiders as well. Rhinos can be easily refitted to serve as Predators, with the Death Spectres for example converting twelve Rhinos into Predators after losing almost all Predator Destructors during the Vern IV offensive.
掠食者的制造仍然局限于一个战团的军械库或盟友铸造世界,大多数战团都部署了20到30种类型。然而,众所周知,一些战团包含数百辆主战坦克,尽管这个数字也包括兰德掠袭者。犀牛装甲车可以很容易地改装成掠食者,例如死亡幽灵在弗恩四号进攻中几乎失去所有掠食者破坏者后,将12头犀牛装甲车改装成掠食者。
Every thirteenth vehicle outfitted to be a Predator is blessed and purified to a greater degree than usual and every 666th is melted down, its material returned to the forge and sacrificed to the Machine God.
每十三辆装备为掠食者的载具都会得到比平时更大程度的祝福和净化,每666辆载具都会被熔化,其材料会被送回铸造厂并供奉给万机神。
Predators are named only after the Emperor's Tarot has been consulted, following a widely held opinion that the tank's personality is influenced by its name. Each vehicle is said by its crew to be as unique as its name, with some being utterly fearless while others being stubborn in defensive situations.
掠食者的名字是在咨询了帝皇塔罗牌后才命名的,因为人们普遍认为坦克的个性受到其名称的影响。每辆车的乘员都说,每辆车都和它的名字一样独特,有些人无所畏惧,而另一些人则在防御态势下异常顽固。
The Predator is crewed by two Space Marines, a commander/gunner and a driver. Crews can be hardwired into their position in case of failure or punishment for transgressions against chapter laws. These Space Marines are not actually Techmarines, but are fully versed in the operation and maintenance of their vehicles, with it being a great honour to crew a Predator, just behind commanding a Land Raider.
掠食者由两名星际战士、一名指挥官/炮手和一名驾驶员驾驶。为应对可能出现的失职情况,或对违反战团法规的行为进行惩处,车组成员会被严格限定在各自岗位上。这些星际战士本质上不是技术军士,但他们完全精通其车辆的操作和维护,能够在指挥的兰德掠袭者的后面驾驶掠食者是一种极大的荣誉。
The Predator was first fielded during the Dark Age of Technology. During this age the Predator was instrumental in establishing Mankind’s dominance upon an untold number of worlds. It is theorised by those with access to the sealed archives that the Predator template was developed in response to Mankind’s earliest contacts with the Ork race. Where the Rhino had served Mankind well in previous conflicts with lesser races, the brutal, close quarters method of warfare favoured by the newly discovered Orks required different tactics altogether. The Predator was an ideal weapon against the Orks, who had few weapons that could penetrate its upgraded armour, and whose own armour offered no protection whatsoever against the tank’s reliable autocannon and heavy bolter armament.
掠食者在黑暗技术时代首次投入使用。在这个时代,掠食者在建立人类对无数世界的统治地位方面发挥了重要作用。那些有权访问密封档案的人认为,掠食者模板是为了回应人类最早与欧克种族的接触而开发的。犀牛装甲车在之前与较小种族的冲突中为人类提供了很好的服务,而新发现的兽人所青睐的残酷、近距离的战争方式需要完全不同的战术。掠食者是对抗兽人的理想武器,他们几乎没有可以穿透升级装甲的武器,而且他们自己的装甲也无法抵御坦克可靠的自动炮和重型爆矢枪等武器。

Schematic of a Predator Destructor 掠食者破坏者示意图
The Predators originally employed by the Emperor’s forces were only slightly different to those employed today, and it is a testimony to functionality of the original design that it has changed so little over the course of ten thousand years. The first Predators were equipped with a small passenger-carrying capacity, but during the prolonged campaigns of the Great Crusade it became obvious that this meager facility was of less importance than the ability to carry greater amounts of ammunition, especially if the vehicle in question was to be fitted with side sponsons. By the time of the Great Crusade, a great number of Standard Template Constructs had been lost, and it was another five millennia before the template for the Razorback, a vehicle dedicated to the role of infantry fighting vehicle, was discovered. In the meantime, Imperial tactics sacrificed transport capacity for firepower, fielding Predators as light support vehicles alongside the Rhino APC.
帝皇部队最初使用的掠食者与今天使用的掠食者只有轻微的不同,这证明了原始设计的功能性,在一万年的时间里,它几乎没有变化。第一批掠食者配备了较小的载弹量,但在大远征的长期作战中,很明显,简陋的设施不如携带大量弹药的能力重要,特别是如果所讨论的车辆要配备侧舷。到大远征时,大量的标准模板结构已经丢失,再过五千年,专门用作步兵战车的豪猪战车的模板才被发现。与此同时,帝国战术牺牲了火力运输能力,将掠食者作为轻型支援车辆与犀牛装甲运兵车并肩作战。
Some Tech-Priests claim that one of the more exotic and unusual weapons of the Predator was a Graviton Cannon, though there are no examples of it existing in the M41 and the ability to re-create it remains unknown to this day.
一些技术神甫声称,掠食者的一种更奇特、更不寻常的武器是重力炮,尽管M41没有这种武器的示例,而且至今仍不清楚它的破坏能力。
The Predator Destructor is the original model of Predator battle tanks, with its origins dating back to the Dark Age of Technology. The Predator was built in direct response to the threat of Orks, which were proving difficult for humanity to handle. Its combination of heavier armour and weaponry allowed the Predator to withstand Orkish attacks and easily destroy their vehicles. Soon the Predator became the standard fighting vehicle for all of humanity's armies, and would remain in that position throughout the Great Crusade, where its small troop carrying capacity would be replaced with space for more ammunition. Eventually, similar to the Rhino it was based off of, the Predator Destructor would be restricted to use by the Space Marines only.
掠食者破坏者是掠食者战斗坦克的原始型号,其起源可以追溯到黑暗技术时代。掠食者是为了直接应对兽人的威胁而制造的,事实证明,人类很难应对这种威胁。它的重型装甲和武器组合使掠食者能够抵御欧克蛮人的攻击,并轻松摧毁他们的载具。很快,掠食者成为所有人类军队的标准战车,并将在整个大远征期间保持这一地位,其较小的载兵能力将被更多弹药的空间所取代。最终,与它所基于的犀牛装甲车类似,掠食者破坏者将仅限于星际战士使用。

Predator Destructor 掠食者破坏者
Armament 军备
The main turret armament on the common Mars-pattern MarkIV-b Predator Destructor is the Syrtis pattern Autocannon, which is constructed with an automatic ammunition feed, muzzle flash suppressor and discharge extractor. The weapon is aimed by the vehicle commander/gunner through a multi-spectral remote targeting surveyor and accuracy talisman. It fires explosive ammunition, each round larger than a Space Marine's fist, which easily chew through heavily-armoured infantry and light vehicles. It can also fire amour piercing shells.
常见的火星型MarkIV-b掠食者破坏者的主要炮塔武器是瑟提斯型自动炮,它由自动弹药供给、炮口闪光抑制器和排放物提取器组成。该武器由车辆指挥官/炮手通过多光谱远程瞄准测量仪和精度护符瞄准。它发射的爆炸性弹药,每发都比星际战士的拳头大,很容易穿透重型装甲步兵和轻型车辆。它还可以发射穿甲弹。
The autocannon incorporates a discharge extractor, a muzzle flashback suppressor, a Syrtis II pattern reinforced breach lock and an armoured ammunition feed.
自动炮配备了一个排放物提取器,一个炮口闪光抑制器、一个瑟提斯II型加强应急锁和一个装甲弹药供给装置。
The gunner/commander itself is seated in a morphic seat in the turret, surrounded by a periscope, target acquisition displays, weapons status panels and fine motor controls. He is connected to the tank via an auto-sense network cabling.
炮手/指挥官本身坐在炮塔中的一个变形座椅上,周围环绕着潜望镜、目标捕获显示器、武器状态面板和精细电机控制装置。他通过自动感应网络线缆连接到油箱。
The gunner/commander has also access to a 360 degree traversable command cupola, featuring an auto-sealing hatch, an auxiliary long range communications array, a multi spectrum visual pickup and an auxiliary integration point mounting. The cupola also gives access to the M33 MK VI auxiliary storm bolter, equipped with 200 multi-purpose bolter rounds.
炮手/指挥官还可以使用360度可移动的指挥圆顶,该圆顶具有自动密封舱口、辅助远程通信阵列、多光谱视觉传感器和辅助集成点安装。圆顶还可以使用M33 MK VI辅助风暴爆矢枪,配备了200发多用途爆矢弹药。
The side sponsons can mount a variety of weapon though the most common - either Heavy Bolters for close defense or Lascannons for additional anti-tank firepower. The sponson weapons are remotely controlled from the turret and aimed through similar surveyors, these are slaved multi-spectral remote targeting surveyors. The sponsons are situated in a ceramite/titanium bonded armour cowling.
侧舷可以安装各种武器,但最常见的是 - 用于近距离防御的重型爆矢枪或用于额外反坦克火力的激光炮。主战武器由炮塔远程控制,并通过类似的传感器瞄准,这些传感器是受多光谱远程瞄准传感器控制的。位于陶钢/钛结合的装甲罩中。
The sponson mounted Heavy Bolters are of the 446AV 'Godwyn-Tadcoke' pattern and are situated in an 180 degree traversable mount, elevating up to +18 degree and depressing down to -18 degrees in an 180 degree arc.
安装在舷侧的重型爆矢枪是446AV的“戈德温·塔德科克”型,位于180度可移动的安装架上,在180度的弧度内可上升至+18度,下降至-18度。
Some Tech-Priests speculate that once the main auto-loading ammunition feeds were more efficient and able to cycle rounds at a faster rate than the Predator's systems of M41. Even if it is likely true, the older pattern of autoloader is thought to be long lost, though extant examples are still hidden somewhere and waited for the technology hunters to find them.
一些技术神甫推测,曾经主要的自动装弹系统比M41的掠食者系统更有效,能够以更快的速度循环弹药。即使这可能是真的,人们也认为旧的自动装弹机模式早已失传,尽管现存的例子仍然隐藏在某个地方,等待技术猎人找到它们。
Armour 装甲
Protection for the Predator Destructor comes from three layers of armouring. The first, a bonded ceramite/adamantine alloy, gives the Predator protection equivalent to five times its width in conventional steel whilst being lighter. This is followed by a reinforcing thermoplas with a mesh of sub-dermal energy dissipation fibre for protection against radiation. The outer layer is a non-metallic acrylic identification sheath. The armour is 65mm thick on the front hull,, with the frontal glacis plate reinforced with a 10mm secondary thermoplas layer, 55mm thick on the side hull and 50mm thick on the rear hull. In all, this armour corresponds over the 200mm of 'standard' steel on the front of Predator.
掠食者破坏者的保护来自三层装甲。第一层是粘结的陶钢/精金合金,为掠食者提供了相当于传统钢五倍的保护,同时更轻。随后是带有皮下能量耗散纤维网的增强热塑性塑料,用于防止辐射。外层为非金属丙烯酸识别护层。前车体的装甲厚度为65毫米,前护甲用10毫米的二级热塑性塑料层加固,侧车体为55毫米厚,后车体为50毫米厚。总的来说,这种装甲相当于掠食者正面200毫米以上的“标准”钢。

Predator with Extra Armour 额外装甲掠食者
The defence of the Predator can be additionally reinforced with layers of Extra Armour.
掠食者的防御可以通过额外的装甲层来加强。
Mobility 机动性
The Predator is mobile by use of four independent Mark II 'Mars' pattern D adaptable thermic combustor reaction engines, protected against impurities by Adeptus Mechanicus purity seals. They provide 2800bhp, an operational range of 1000 kilometres and a road speed of 68kph and a cross country speed of 50kph. The Predators track links are cast out of a pseudo-titanium alloy.
掠食者通过使用四个独立的Mark II“火星”D型自适应热燃烧反应发动机进行移动,并由机械神教纯度印记保护,防止杂质进入。它们提供2800制动马力,行驶里程为1000公里,行驶速度为68公里/小时,越野速度为50公里/小时。掠食者履带链节由伪钛合金铸造而成。
The Predator has a ground clearance of 0.44 metres, provided by a reinforced titanium torsion bar, a maximum gradient climb of 65%, exerts a ground pressure of 10.8-12.2 psi, depending on pattern, can cross trenches 4 metres in width and can climb vertical obstacles 1.2 metres in height. Finally, it can ford waters 12 metres deep.
掠食者的离地间隙为0.44米,由加强钛扭转杆提供,最大坡度爬升率为65%,根据模式施加10.8-12.2磅/平方英寸的地面压力,可以穿过4米宽的沟渠,可以爬上1.2米高的垂直障碍物。最后,它可以涉水12米深。
The driver is seated in a morphic seat, connected to the tank via a spinal implant interface and umbilical pickups and has access to a periscope, a tactical display, an engine status display, a power assisted drive column and a manual momentum cancellation control.
驾驶员坐在变形座椅上,通过脊柱植入接口和中央传感器连接到坦克,可以使用潜望镜、战术显示器、发动机状态显示器、动力辅助驱动柱和手动动量抵消控制器。
Equipment 设备
Smoke Launchers and a Searchlight are standard options on a Predator Destructor. It may be further upgraded with Dozer Blades, Extra Armour, a Hunter-killer Missile, and a Pintle-mounted Stormbolter. The Hunter-Killer Missile is of the Mk VIII ‘Avenger' pattern, fired from the 'Diacria' pattern hunter-killer launcher and guided via an autonomous target acquisition system. The smoke launcher is a Mk II 'Tenebrus' smoke discharge unit, fitted with Stygies 'D' pattern smoke grenades.
烟雾发射器和探照灯是掠食者破坏者的标准配置。它可能会进一步升级,配备推土机铲刀、额外装甲、猎杀飞弹和枢轴式风暴爆矢枪。猎杀飞弹是Mk VIII“复仇者”型导弹,由“迪亚克里亚”型猎杀发射器发射,并通过自主目标捕获系统进行制导。烟雾发射器是一个Mk II“特涅布鲁斯”烟雾排放装置,装有斯蒂吉斯“D”型烟雾榴弹。
The Predator also features a narrow band long-range communication array, an atmospheric filtration unit, 1.5 megawatt quartz halogen headlights and a frontal view port with integral debris clearance mechanism. The view port can be reinforced with an shield, adjustable by the driver.
掠食者还配备了一个窄带远程通信阵列、一个大气过滤装置、1.5兆瓦的石英卤素前照灯和带有一体式碎屑清除装置的前视观察口。观察口可以用护罩加固,可由驾驶员调节。

The Predator Annihilator is the second and latter of the two major patterns, though its introduction was not without controversy. According to the Liber Armorum the model did not appear until M36 — when it first appeared during the Skarath Crusade.
掠食者歼灭者是两种主要型号中的第二种,也是最后一种,尽管它的引入并非没有争议。根据装甲之书的说法,该模式直到M36才出现,当时它首次出现在斯卡拉特远征期间。
The Adeptus Mechanicus was suitably infuriated at the Space Wolves' blasphemous alteration to a holy STC design, however their success could not be denied. While the Space Wolves continued to field Predator Annihilators, the Tech-priests examined the design, debated its sanctity in councils and ran extensive trials. Two hundred years later, it was found that the modified tank was not only acceptable to the Machine God, but that the Predator was intentionally designed to accept such a retrofit. The Predator Annihilator has since found its way into the Armouries of many other Space Marine Chapters and therefore seeing increasing use close to it's cousin.
机械神教对太空野狼对神圣STC设计的亵渎性修改感到愤怒,但他们的成功是不可否认的。当太空野狼继续处理掠食者歼灭者时,技术神甫检查了该设计,在议会中讨论了其神圣性,并进行了广泛的试验。两百年后,人们发现,改装后的坦克不仅被万机神接受,而且掠食者的设计也是为了接受这种改装。此后,掠食者歼灭战已经进入了许多其他星际战士的军械库,因此在其表亲附近的使用越来越多。

Ultramarines Predator Annihilator 极限战士掠食者歼灭者
Armament 军备
In place of the Syrtis pattern Autocannon, the Predator Annihilator mounts twin-linked 'Stormbringer' Lascannons equipped with flash dampeners and focusing rings. Powered by diaquartzoid crystal batteries, each lascannon has a barrel life of 1000 shots before it warps and must be replaced. The Kz9.76 'Stormbringer' lascannons are situated in a 360 degree arc turreted traverse, traversing at 80 degrees/second and elevating up to +28 degrees and depressing down to -15 degrees.
掠食者歼灭者取代了瑟提斯型自动炮,安装了配备闪光阻尼器和聚焦环的双联“兴风者”激光炮。由双石英晶体电池供电,每门激光炮在变形前的枪管寿命为1000发,必须更换。Kz9.76“兴风者”激光炮位于360度弧形旋转炮塔中,可进行水平旋转,旋转速度为每秒 80 度,上升至+28度,下降至-15度。
The weapon sponsons can be easily changed by Techmarines even during an active campaign, so the Predator Annihilator can be equipped with either heavy bolter or lascannon sponsons as the battlefield situation dictates, as long as there are alternative weapons available.
即使在激烈的战役中,技术军士也可以很容易地更换侧舷武器,因此只要有替代武器可用,掠食者歼灭者可以根据战场情况配备侧舷重型爆矢枪或激光炮。

Deimos Pattern Predator 火卫二型掠食者
When they first rebelled against the Emperor, the Traitor Legions took with them their Predator Destructors, many of which still remain operational over 10,000 years later. Though they share some similarities to their Loyalist cousins, many of these once-noble machines have been twisted and warped by the power of Chaos, including outright possession by Daemons. Older patterns of Chaos Predators dating back to the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy are known as Infernal Relic Predators.
