FuelCell Extent Positions Help?

[+RAVEN]

If I'm reading the Extent Positions correctly, they overlap (cell to cell and engine).My question

 

is will they affect the flight of the aircraft (weight and balance) I know the weight of the fuel

 

is included, but is the position also? Or is the purpose of the Extent Positions just for the game engine to

 

know that a Mig just put 23mm round through your engine and your fuelcell?

Fuel tanks positioned so that they wrap around jet engine(s), is a common design feature in real life.
