I tend to agree with you. Radial engines would be super cool but really aren't worth the effort with a pure car focus. I also agree that tanks are very different to cars and probably shouldn't be included as something you can make in this game.
However, during both world wars (and other smaller wars) it wasn't uncommon for car manufacturers to branch out into (or totally focus on) engines intended for use in tanks, aircraft and boats. Having that as an option would be very cool but it would require the contract system as it currently stands to undergo a fairly substantial overhaul (i think, maybe not that substantial? Eric?) so the game could set demand for certain components for sale to non-car manufacturers. It'd probably also necessitate having production of components to require factory capacity which I don't think it currently does.
All probably way too much work for now as you said. But maybe something to add to the list for future expansions? =)
