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.
