Hi, I'm Usually Known As Shimakaze(Chan) And Am Part Of The WSP; Former WTLive Member; Clan Leader Of ACASS Which I Consider As My Close Group Of Friends.

I'm Interested In Anything Japanese Related And Have A Weird Obsession With Creating / Fixing Up Nav-Pages & -Tables.

I Have A Tendency Of Trying To Keep Vehicle Names As Consistent & Accurate As Possible, Making Vehicles Unrecognizable For People Knowing The Names Purely Out Of War Thunder.

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
