Guys, stay cool.
I have patience but there is a limit.
Ditto, I've seen an arguement made here in a VERY poor manner.

This isn't a serious design, just a historical possibility used to illustrate a point.

What Wes and Hoo (and others) are attempting to point out, is that while you may or may not have a valid complaint, rather than having a respectful and serious discussion on the topic, it looks like (and you seem to have admitted to) planting this admittedly preposterous design in your encyclopedia to goad people into complaining about it, and somehow get to your point in some roundabout and petty fashion.

Because of all this, I fully agree with Brockpaine. We can post critic but there has to be some leeway and we cannot force somebody to take note and change a design accordingly. All that "reasonable" players can do is to deny power gamers participation in their story arcs, leaving them alone with their super-duper-über designs.

Historically Italy could not design and build reliable inline engines comparable to foreign pieces and finally build German engines under licence. Call me ignorant, but that´s what I learn from my books, though I´m truly not an expert on this particular issue. However, using such reference would make me wonder how Italy could be capable of developing such powerful engines now available in WW.....

Is that "realistic"? Arguably, yes, for the most part, but it certainly wouldn't be a lot of fun for those smaller nations.

I for one do not; would you have a model number or other reference for it; I would like to research it.

Alfa-Romeo L1101
The lack of sources on Italy isn't helped with much of the country's technical archives being destroyed 1943-45. Unlike Germany where all the cool* sketch designs are displayed on Luft 46. Still, Italian Secret Projects book next year.
*and mostly ridiculously impracticable and/or unworkable

I am sorry, but a fragmentary mention in one forum discussion group does not a valid source make.

Originally posted by BruceDuncanThree pictures are better than a fragmentary reference. Impressive ironmongery. Does data exist to go along with them?

Not a massive amount given that the prototype engines were destroyed in 1943 by partisans. 50L displacement 7x4 configuration. There are a few Italian language sources which may have more details.
It's pretty stunning that an engine up with R-4360, BMW803, R-7755 etc. to be basically unknown. It wasn't the only large late war Italian inline engine either.

I concede that book citations exist. Unfortunately, I cannot find them on line and do not have access to a library where they might be found.
