That’s probably what I would have done
First update Battleships, Infantry, Artillery
one Tier Later get Tanks + military Planes

Hummel is right on the money.
AT gun is Pak40. Chasis has the sloped plating, as opposed to the rounded side plating of the 36. (Edit: I was referencing the 38, but you said 36. I think the 36 is a little too tall for the model pictured.) Though the gun barrel seems shorter, possibly due to lacking the muzzle break.
Howitzer is a bit harder to tell, but my money is the "Big Bertha." I'm not sure what it's called, but the way the wheels are sort of "tracked" is found on only a few artillery pieces.
F1. The F1 has both the short barreled 75mm gun and a single armor plate for the driver and machine gunner port, as opposed to the "offset" armor plating of earlier Panzer 4 models like the E.
Bonuses to all the yields except Influence and Food. (Production apparently doesn’t have a general boost but standard for buildings none for wonders and double for units)
The only things on top of that is Combat Strength and Army Experience.
a
Artillery is 100% Big Bertha. The platform behind the gun, slightly curved front plate, and overall massive size all check out. Great models.

Fractal supremacy continues
Never went back to other big-landmass scripts in previous games after trying it, looks like the same will be true in 7.

Very underwhelming. Prussian warplane should be of their brand models. Meiji Japan gets Leisen only for somebody else to get generic aircrafts including Meiji to get American dive bombers rather than Mitsubishi Ki-30 'Nagoya' (exported to Siam)?
While Prussian Landship is historically accurate 'Rare items'. in truth German Empire also used looted tanks, and ironically more of them since German Industry at that time did not have the same capacity as Allies Entente. In this war the United States only dedicated a fraction of their industrial might to the war effort, they had AFV projects but all their tanks did not join the war, instead British and French tanks were used. the US of A only did some ships, and 'American Enfields' primarily made by Winchester Repeating Arms, with Remington and Baldwin Locomotive Works provided additional production capacity.
There were ironically more lotted Mark IVs and FT17 bearing Teutonic Cross mark in German Army than domestically made A7Vs.
^ This is basically Napoleonic era Redcoats retinted. Basically ingame generic European Linear Infantry. US Army Line Infantry SHOULD Also be this. because this is what actually US Army of 1812 wears.
^ Both Prussia and Mexico use PanzerKampfwagen IV. AFAIK only European supporters of Germany in WW2 purchased ones, and Syria used ones postwar.
^ Field fortified tanks.
^ And a nuclear fallout. so War... War Never Changes.

The artillery piece is almost exactly a model of the 42 cm kurze Marinekanone 14 L/12 or M-Gerät, better known as Big Bertha. It was the only artillery piece larger than 15 cm to have a gun shield while still having the loading platform on the trail, so it's pretty distinctive. Relative to the assault gun it is much too small, however: the towed artillery piece was almost three times larger than the self-propelled model shown!
That 'assault gun' is almost a match for the Hummel ("Bumblebee") self-propelled 15 cm howitzer of WWII. I say almost because the Hummel had a pronounced downward angle to the rear of the side armor that the model does not appear to have, and the gun tube is much too small compared to the vehicle. See below:
These were captured and used by the Soviet Army in 1944, but the only change from the German usage is the red stars outlined in white on the sides - and note the Lend Lease American M4 Sherman in the rear. The model also shows the vehicle painted gray, which is not strictly accurate: the Hummel didn't get to the front lines until the Battle of Kursk in 1943, by which time all German combat vehicles were painted in dunkelgelb (dark yellow) when they came from the factory.
It is
Great info, but I think you accidentally left a thought hanging

I thought it was a simple, yet powerful affirmational statement.
It's definitely meant to be a Hummel. The rear slope is less pronounced but it's there.
What of these you were looking for?
So more or less Civ 7 lumps the Ancient and Classical, Medieval and Rennaisance, and Industrial and Modern alongside the early Atomic, this means the rest of the Atomic, along with Information and Future eras require Mechanics, Technologies, Civics etc. This part of the game has always felt like a "win more stage" where most of what you gain don't feel like things you must make meaningful choices on but rather just go through the motions until victory.
These 19 technologies excluding future tech make up more or less the period that would represent the Contemporary world. The...

I also don't think the French Expos were dominated by tons of archeologists.
(Well, they indeed pumped many archeologists to Egypt.)
The name is likely just for flavor, since it is from an Economic CS.
(On the other hand, strictly speaking, actual USSR Kolkhozs - and most other Eastern Bloc and PRC collective farms - were not meant to provide more food to the populace or increase agricultural production (they famously reduced agricultural production in practice). Both Kolkhoz and the Sovkhoz were designed to extract as much agricultural revenue as possible to fund heavy industries, i.e., the USSR way of speedy industrialization and modernization. In a way, Kolkhozs were more similar to Medieval manors or plantations with cash crops.)

All the time. German AFVs were all have camoes after 1940. and desert khaki is favorite color but i'm not sure if snow white painted hulls did exists.

It seems FXis got it right this time.
Ship of the Line is now Tier 1 watercraft. being HEAVY choice. but it doesn't look imposing enough.. it looks like 4th Rate to me.
^ Rifle Infantry now comes with HMG support. exactly what I like most.

Just to clarify, is it correct that units now have a single strength attribute, meaning no more difference in attack and defense (I know the rock scissor paper concept is gone). If so, that's another major bummer

Katyusha in action, and its stats.
The official guide's unit description reads 'decreased Combat Strength' and I thought it would have lower ranged strength.
But no, its ranged strength is 45 - same with the assault gun. Its melee strength is 5 lower than assault gun.
Also 3 moves instead of 2.

What? We didn't had separate attack and defense since Civ 4. Instead, there was traits that gave bonus on attack or defense.
Civ 7 indeed simplifies in this manner too though. Unit types are reduced, and promotion tree that could specialize a unit is gone. But there are still several factors that grant bonus on defense, like fortification or terrain.

Thanks for the clarification. Defense boni have always existed (at least in civ3/4, forgot about 5/6). However, there was a place for cavalry or infantry depending whether you wanted defenders or attackers.
I shall check more playthroughs then
