Engines, your titbit on the large Tornado tanks is incorrect. The big jugs were quite slippy, the small tanks were the draggy ones. You could also take the big tanks to a higher speed and (on the GR version at least) achieve a higher cruise ceiling... or put another way, finding yourself descending when you jettison them in a misguided attempt to climb over a CB during a shooting war...
