Largest Issue with Rocket engines In KSP are very heavy engines compared to their IRL counterparts with similar size and thrust, this made engines like 48-7S feels OP.

Mainsails had largest TWR in game (can lift 25 more than own weight), but it's quite small number compared to old Saturn I H-1 engine, with size and ISP between mainsail and skipper, 900kN of thrust and weigh of "only" 1000 kilograms (4x less than skipper), which gave him TWR around 100...

From other hand after balancing engines, fuel tanks will require their dry mass and fuel density (bit less fuel units, more dry mass) rebalanced to made it feel right too.

I keep on wanting to use it for landers and such, but as I am mostly finding myself landing on Duna and Laythe nowadays with 2-3 Kerbals it hasn't found much use with me yet. I can see it is a great little engine though, and I am thinking about maybe using it as a final stage engine on my Tylo lander. The Tylo lander final stage will literally be two command seats on top of some fuel and this engine :P
