Updated UI with major bug (funny low speed physics) fixes.

History

The P-36 was a funny one. It was meant as a backup fighter in case the competitor, Seversky P-35 was unable to be delivered. The P-35, however, was underperforming and was more expensive. Nevertheless, the P-36 would go onto entering service in 1938 until 1954 in various different countries.

The first production version only had a single 7.62mm and 12.7mm machine gun.
