"The engine-transmission compartment in the back let air in via holes drilled in the rear plate. This improved protection, but also led to the engine overheating."

Huh? Adding holes improved protection? Adding holes led to engine overheating? That doesn't make sense. Holes would DECREASE protection and allow more air flow through so that it would INCREASE ventilation, leading to LESS overheating. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.10.226.163 ( talk) 17:45, 9 April 2013 (UTC) reply
