The game calls them by their short names too. Those are the "official" short names for said planes though.

Also, regarding the "Type" thing. Even the Americans didn't use that, so we shouldn't either. On a side note, why even care about what the Americans say? English is not even a language that they created. It's like seeing how one should translate something into Italian by finding out how the French do it.
