When you only need tanks to control your own people you really don't need to upgrade to a larger tank. Even the small ones are intimidating!

 当你只需要坦克来管理自己的人民时，真不需要升级到重型坦克。即便是最小的型号也足具威慑力！

The M41 is an obsolete gas hog.I am surprised they did not buy the superior Chinese tanks years ago.

M41是一个过时的油耗子车。我很惊讶他们没有更早的购买中国坦克。

Good decision. If you want to kill your enemies buy US tanks but if you want to stop your own people buy them from China. They were both proven effective in different scenario.:-)

英明抉择。如果你想干掉你的敌人就买美国坦克，但如果你想阻止自己的人民就该购买中国坦克。此二者在不同情况皆被证明有实效。：）
