Just in case anyone bought the EC-665 Tigre HAD-E and F-16A Block 10 Netz pre-order, the pre-order decal bonus could be used historically.

“L’invulnérable”, on a Hotchkiss H.39
The text in-game mention a H.35, but the tank in the picture is a different tank (look at the optics).
However, it isn’t in the game; the H.39 you can find in the game has a longer gun (the SA 38 L/33).
The tank on the picture has a SA 18 L/21 gun, just like the H.35 in-game.
In fact, the Chinese decal is incorrect. For more details, please refer to the bug report I submitted.
In the game, there are currently many different decal and decoration styles used by players. (Everyone has their own style they like.)For example:
Decals:
(No decals)
This is the majority. These players may feel decals are useless or are just playing casually.
(Casual group)
They simply use whatever decals they own.
(Patriots)
For example, applying their country’s flag to vehicles, even if that vehicle never had a flag in real history.
China is a bit special here because there is a decal called “Chinese People’s Volunteer Air Force.” Some players position the decal so that only the characters “中國” (“China”) appear.
(Funny eyes and mouth)
Based on my experience, this is the second most common style.
(Historical group)
They try to restore real-life paint schemes as accurately as possible. Very rare so far.
(Vehicle marking issues)
Common problems include incorrect positioning, decals that are too large or too small.
(World of Tanks group)
They use markings that resemble those from World of Tanks default vehicles.
(Flame decals)
Vehicles decorated with flame-themed decals.
(Rainbow color group)
They cover the vehicle in large, colorful style decals.
(Streamer and channel decals)
Using decals related to YouTube channels, streamers, or in-game events.
(Custom community skins)
These are user-made skins. Only the player using them can see the changes; others see nothing different.
(Spelling with decals)
Players use letter decals to form words or messages.
3D Decorations:
(No decorations)
This is by far the majority of players.
(Casual group)
They place whatever decorations they have. This is probably the second most common.
(Eye-catching decorations)
They use strange or special-effect decorations and fictional objects to make their vehicles stand out.
(Historical decoration group)
They try to place objects based on historical references, either where they might have been placed or whether they could have existed in that time period. I have almost never seen this.
(Guns only)
These players only place firearm decorations on their vehicles.
(Jerry can ERA)
They cover the vehicle with WWII-era U.S. jerry cans. Some treat them as if they were ERA (explosive reactive armor).
