engines die after using rockets....but

[Deimos]

.....but why can a MI-8 fire all its rockets without that effect ?! (while hovering)

 

It takes only ONE small rocket to kill BOTH engines on the Hind. The intakes are in top  - so how ?

I see others like the Apache doing the same. is the effect on hinds engines  "a little overdone " ?

Because ED hasn't modelled it for the Mi-8. The Mi-24 being much newer received this effect, just like the new Ka-50 update.

One small rocket doesn't sound right though, you got a short track of it?

hmmm....i tried to reproduce the situation. it took two little lady-rockets, to take the engine down. That´s not much either btw...

May be it was the direction i was slightly drifting - but after one rocket, i went down sometimes.

Well, the solution to your problem either way is to fly at the minimum speed (100kph) required to launch multiple rockets.

It is the whole reason S-24 points down. It caused a Mi-28 crash IRL. As someone else said. Launch from 100 kmh or higher

IIRC, Apache is also prohibited to fire rockets from inbound pylons while in hover.

It happens in KA50III also even with the smaller KOMs. I think it is safer to shoot rockets in a short burst than at medium or long.

Or fly above 100 kmh when shooting
