Isn't the steam engine attack a bit overdone? None of the original videos I've seen does that. Lots of smoke pops up, and that's that. Pressure's gone. No need to make it explode, lift into the air, go around the world a couple of times and all that!
See, from watching all the movies, I thought that if you bumped a car in America, or even farted in one, it would just blow up! Turns out it's not true - who knew?
It's still true for the Zero though...
Ah well, if it fascinates people and they become interested in flying this, it would be great. It would be even greater if IL-2's name was somehow attached to the film. It would bring such an influx of people! I might actually shoot down someone for a change
