Notes:

• The KV I C 756(r) is a German modified KV-1 (1942) which has a cast turret (Russian), with KwK40 (German)
• The Ki-45 hei/tei is a very unlikely mash-up plane to have ever have existed just to flair up the Chinese tree
• The S.M.79's haven't been carried over to the Italian tree as they were previously removed for redundancy
