That was; lets strap guns to a racing seaplane

You may want to note that the SAE, despite being through a war, where developement was pushed as money played a lesser role, and using all the experience just fields a 1320hp engine as most powerful. And this one has a supercharger for 4000m which is in fact inferior to what many others already field in WesWorld.
This plane was at the very edge of the 5-year rule then in place when I decided which planes will be available in late-35/early-36. However, we then changed to the 3-years rule and so in 1937 this is still the most potent engine. The developement curve in WesWorld otherwise would be too steep - at least from my point of view.
I can just propose to not push the pedal to the medal with every new plane.

It depends somewhat on the size and weight of the engine. Italy currently has two high powered engines of over 1500hp, the Alfa-Romeo 135 of 1700hp which is an 18-cylinder radial (and historical if of slightly greater power) and the Isotta-Fraschini Asso 1500 of 1930hp both of which are very large and heavy and not particularly suitable for fighters.

Oh I'm aware of that, I just wanted to post some comparable engines in the 1,500 hp class and others worth noting. Interestingly enough I can't find any specific stats on Wesworld German aircraft engines without doing abit of searching both in wesworld posts and info on the web about real world engines so its abit difficult to get a handle on what Germany has, whats historical and whats not.

Hopefully the Alfa Romeo will be more reliable than historical, as it seems that it was never fielded in any numbers.
