V1 is calculated for a single engine failure on a 4 engine aircraft. So if we are at V1 and have a dual flame out one side (bird strike, one engine takes the other out, or what ever), ABORT, we are below VMCG-2 (2 engine out same side). No chance in hell to get airborne and around again.

Min V1 on A343 is around 129kts, and with two engine out same side is around 157kts so STOP, and take what comes ahead rather than to continue rolling inverted and going through the perimeter fence upside down.
