Hi, I'm Usually Known As Shimakaze(Chan) And Am:

• Part Of The WSP (Wiki Share Program).
• War Thunder Youtube (And Twitch) Moderator.
• 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 Remembering / Designating Vehicles By Their Historical Designation
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
