…has 2-plane gimbal but this does not. For now I'm harmonizing this way, but we could also harmonize the other way. Thoughts? (It's the usual historical-accuracy-vs-flexibility dealie, IMO...)

It was done on the basis of the real engine but it is probably much better to have dual-axis gimbaling, as it allows for non-historic vehicles to be made (e.g. a 2x RD-275 first stage).

TL;DR: it is better with full gimbal capability.

Ok! I'm happy with that. At some point I need to write a better way to have optional (with more mass) gimbaling added to engines...
