Many of the enemy Neuroi are also sometimes based on real aircraft, mostly failed prototypes like the Focke-Wulf Triebflugel.
By "care", I'm talking about how Girls und Panzer treats the hardware with respect, and shows off what they're capable of. In Strike Witches, the hardware is either used as fodder or used to make the Witches look good. There's a vast gulf in how they're portrayed.
