when you switch to cockpit vies the engine is spitting fire in your face. it blocks a significant part of the screen with the notorious rheinland-ish green.
I flied the Colossus for a long time, and it never really bothered me. Perhaps you'd want the engine on it's behind and make Wasps able to stop it, while TCDs have difficulty to stop a Colossus right now. I know, my Unioner Colossus was once hunted down by two Titans with TCD, and even though they spammed them, it only hit my fat butt and I never left cruise. XD
