"A Delicious Tank Celebration" - Translations of German voices from Clark & IBU boards

Post by TankDriver »

If you own an IBU2 or an "E-variant" Clark board, you've probably heard the German lines of dialog that you can trigger with that 'Extended' sound effect version.

Although I had a bit of a hard time initially since the lines are being shouted, I turned the volume down & used Google Translate to decipher what they're saying.

If I messed up, or anyone has a better translation for any of them, please let me know - especially for IBU #4 in particular... although I like what it came up with!

CLARK:
1. Achtung = Danger
2. Feuer = Fire
3. Wir werden angegriffen = We are under attack
4. Ein panzer kommt = A tank is coming
5. Danke = Thanks
6. Sie sind hinter uns = They are behind us
7. Wir brauchen naturlich unterstutzung = Of course we need support
8. Schwerer feindlicher panzer gesichtet = Heavy enemy tank spotted

IBU:
1. Feindlicher panzer; feuer = Hostile tank; fire
2. Keine zielanpassung schnell feuer wiederholen los = No target adjustment; quickly repeat fire; go
3. Feind fahrzeug; feuer frei = Enemy vehicle; open fire
Funny alternate translations for #1 above:
Peinlicher panzer feuer = Embarrassing tank fire
or
Ein leckere panzer feier = A delicious tank celebration

I prefer to choose the latter of the last two :)

Looks good to me. However, Peinlicher Panzer Feuer might be Feindlicher Panzer Feuer: Enemy tank fire!

Herr Dr, that makes much more sense than the other two phrases it 'heard' for IBU #1, before translating into such original & funny phrases!

I'm still not sure that's what the voice says, but it's as close as the translator could make it out to be; see if anyone can tell what IBU #1 says.

Although I'm still taken with the very idea of "A Delicious Tank Celebration"... maybe this photo gives some idea of what that would look like
