O que simplement se requiera tener una certeza de donde vas a disparar y hacer alguna pasada por la zona para asegurarte a baja altura por la proximidad de fuerzas amigas, no se, creo que en combate real no hay que descartar ninguna posibilidad, eso paso en su dia cuando se pensaba que el cañon era historia, y fue un fallo terrible... Ademas de no ser asi, nadie extrañaria aviones en el campo de batalla como el A-10 o el Su-25...
Puede ayudar, pero no tiene que ser determinante. Es uno de muchos factores. Si no fuera así, la USAF no estaría planteándose la compra de Super Tucanos para la misión LAS. Ya sabrás decirme tu cuántos motores tiene.
Luego hay que ver cifras de pérdidas. En la última campaña aérea se cayó un F-15 y ningún F-16, a pesar de que el modelo más numeroso en el teatro era justamente el Viper. Antes de eso, en la campaña aérea sobre Yugoslavia (Op. Allied Force), se perdió un F-16 monomotor y un F-117 bimotor.
Ya me dirás que es anecdótico porque de una campaña donde se pierde uno o dos aviones no se puede sacar una conclusión. Y tendrías razón. Pero luego tendrías que explicar por qué en Desert Storm se perdieron más bimotores que monomotores.

Como se puede ver, se pedieron el doble de bimotores o multimotores que monomotores.
Sin quitar que es categóricamente cierto que un bimotor ofrece un mayor márgen de seguridad si todos los demás parámetros son comparables, tampoco deja de ser cierto que ese márgen de seguridad NO es el doble.
