We have all looked at different projetc and considered them over-engineered.

Some might be due to lack of knowledge (paradigmshift, etc), others down to just not thinking.

A lof of Sviet equipment might be said ot be over-engineered, but was probably designed to be handled by somewht more rought personnel (if you can fix it with a hammer, use a bigger hammer).

An example:

1) Looking at Do-17, the flying pencil: who came up with the idea of giving it mud-guards for the main gear? Looks silly, really

2) Others?

Just for fun for NY.
