Rabies Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 I was hit by a missile and took significant damage. Bitching betty was calling out "engine 1 & 2 out, Rotor RPM High". I initially thought autorotation time, but noticed both engines were still functioning. I jettisoned all stores and headed back to base, increasing torque to reduce high rotor rpm. Upon approach I noticed lowering the collective fully, only reduced my torque to 60%. I've uploaded the track file to Dropbox as it is 43mb, I'm not sure if it can be cropped. The first part I was busy adjusting flight controls as I thought something was amiss, I should have checked the weather report, more specifically the wind LOL. It would be interesting if someone could talk through what happened and maybe explain the conflicting reports or is it a possible bug?

shrimpy_dikdik Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 I was in MP the other day and was hit head on by an F16 using guns. I fired a few back his way which may have warned him off as he didn't finish me off to my surprise. My Apache had a few bullet marks around the front but otherwise flew ok. However I was getting rpm low warnings, engine two out warnings when it wasn't, torque indicator rapidly fluctuating all over the place, speed and altitude indicators not working (fixed at a value) and after I landed I was unable to shut my engines off almost as if the throttle control did nothing. Sounds a bit like your situation. I put it down to the damage model knocking all those sensors out which sounds pretty plausible.
