You know you have too many rockets when.... ?

I find three high stacks of the big fuel tanks are best efficiency wise - three empty large tanks weighs as much as a big engine so once you get three it's actually best to have another stage with a new set of engines (or even better, make it so that you can use the same engines while jettisoning the empty tanks).

OT, when your rocket makes like a concertina on launch due to crushing itself with engine power.

I think your problem is too many fuel tanks, from experience those fuel tanks work best in a 2 high stack, anymore and its a waste imo

Depends on what engine your using. If your using mainsails, 3 large tanks seems to be the sweet spot.

Personally I prefer and have better luck with aerospike clusters though. I have a 44 stock part first stage I use with most things that will reliably get ~20T into a 150km kerbin orbit with fuel to spare.
