Creats a lot of stuff.

Hi Ransome:
The dimensionally bigger engine added to the length to the fuselage and greater wing area added airframe weight in crease the weight to power ratio. Increased the drag with a bigger footprint which reduce the performance. Then an Albatros engineer decides to reduce the structual weight resulted in the Alb.D.V, which had a weak airframe for the engine.
The Hisso was a magnificent designed engine. It set the engine formula for all the powerful V12 engine of the future. The Merlin, Allison and the Daimler of WW2.
Blue skies Ransome,
