It's working fine for me.
Tested SP with and without @ace3 on Stratis.
Merlin HC3 24 sling loading a WMIK GMG. Flew all around the island.
The only issue I could see was that it wouldn't go above 400m ASL in a hover from take-off, so I wonder if on some maps or weather conditions (hot and high) there is a reduced lift capability. However, getting some speed up, climbing, then hovering allowed it to go higher still.
Could you retest on Stratis and see what you find?
As for snapping sling ropes, I imagine there is a maximum g-force that you should not exceed, so fly it gently.
EDIT: Merlin has a sling load max weight of 5 tonnes. WMIK weighs 3.5 tonnes. Max g-force = 1.4 ? Perhaps - depends how the sling rope breaking strains are calculated, but it's quite low and could easily be exceeded if it is the case.
