  1. Breda Ba.27 (first flown in 1933) is armed with Breda-SAFAT machine guns which were developed in 1935. Therefore, earlier versions of Breda Ba.27 had a different armament? Or some of the dates are incorrect?
  2. Berezin UB was developed in early 1941 but Il-4 is listed as having Berezin UB in 1939. Precursor of Berezin UB? (resolved)
  3. Neubaufahrzeug - a German heavy tank - was produced in 1935 but listed as main weapon 7.5cm KwK 37 developed in 1937. Which gun was actually installed on its early prototypes?

    Berezin UB was developed in early 1941 but Il-4 is listed as having Berezin UB in 1939. Precursor of Berezin UB?

    Actually, Il-4 was produced during 1942-1944. It's precursor would be DB-3, which uses 20mm ShVAK cannon and ShKAS machine guns. DB-3 was produced during 1936–1939.

      In this case, bomber Il-4 with Berezin UB is from 26 March 1942, torpedo bomber Il-4T with Shkas and Shvak - 1 April 1940. I am not sure where to draw the line between DB-3 and Il-4, seems naming change was applied even to some of the already manufactured DB-3
