    Y'know, you could spend a minute chasing down the lead if you think you're onto something.

    Seriously, if you'd spend 30 seconds chasing down the leads already provided (a minute if you have slow connection), you'll get it. I've checked. No need for wild guesses.

    I believe next turn should go to Morticia for being closest one. In fact, a single Wikipedia search from answer.

    Simply typing anti-aircraft cruiser into Wikipedia would get you a short paragraph listing the ships designed as such. Among them, you'd notice that this very photo is used as thumbnail for French cruiser De Grasse.

    Originally planned as new class of light cruisers right before the war, only one hull was partially completed by the time of German invasion. Briefly considered for conversion into light carrier by occupying forces, the ship was eventually finished after the war in depicted configuration. Second ship, Colbert, was built to updated plans and later converted to missile cruiser, which is why it is sometimes considered separate class. I would have accepted either name though.

    That's a Puma, we all agree I suppose

    It was produced in many variants, that one looks like the Sd.Kfz. 234/2, using the KwK 39 L/60 cannon (developed from the PaK 38 cannon)

    Yes, it's the SdKfz 234/2 "Puma" with the 5-cm-KwK 39 L/60 (caliber).

    Your turn.

    Type 90 Japanese WW2? Not sure what the proper variant would be. But the third rear turret looks off so I am just guessing.

    edit: In fact gotta assume I'm wrong since those all look guns/cannons and MG mounts

    I'd say right enough, as it's type 95, which was uparmored and upgunned type 91. Biggest visible difference would be the front turret that had only machine gun in 91 but 37mm gun in 95.

    I might find something to put here if this lies dormant for too long, but I'm not promising anything. And don't complain about it!

    Sar1n has it, it's type 95

    Now, I've been deleting unnecessary off topic remarks. Let me stress the point: this is a game, a very simple game ok? Going personal and/or being rude is off topic and is not gonna be tolerated, last warning.

    No attempts?

    First hint: the lead designer was a famous physicist.

    I'll be centering the hints on the designer, since it's your best shot at finding this without giving away the manufacturer, which would make this trivial.

    Served in air forces of two nations, one of which was the manufacturer's home country and the other designer's.
