The Missile Doesn't Know Where It Is

Sea Vix is one of those planes that just shouldn't be in the game, for everyone's sake.

I remember like the second match I had in this plane, the game came down to me and another Sea Vixen vs. two Ariete's. As you can imagine, we decided to just strap on bombs and go after bomb targets while the Ariete's could do nothing but continue to fail at catching us. It was a very boring end to the match.

[@grievousminded7517]

Sea vixen was immensely fun for the longest time. After the last major missile rework sadly the missiles are pretty useless. Red tops used to kill reliably at around 2 to 2.5 km. Now you have to slip them into the target right off the rail.

this is one of those planes that I feel is the absolute horror at 8.7. "it's extremely good at ruining other people's fun" i'm a g.91 r/3 player myself, and there is no worse feeling than ending a brilliant dogfight, about to get the shot, and then this thing appears on the radar 2.5km away... i hate it however. 1100% bonus SL is very tasty

[@Sten05]

And having the saab 105 having to face this thing that is near 2x the speed and has radar and missles that are good at the same br which is unfair aswell as 8.7 faces 10.0 90% of the time is entirely unfair

[@sayhellotoyou9271]

@@Sten05 Sea Vixen is as overpowered as the f-104 in the sense that it is near impossible to kill in a down tier but is dogshit in an up tier except the Sea Vixen is incredibly easy to counter. It is unfair but also shit at the same time.

[@charisardmegax6556]

Before matches were made larger the f3h would get downtiered in with this thing all the time and I would actively target them because of how annoying I felt they were, now in the f3h I never even see these things and fear for the teammates I left behind..

I struggle to get kills with it, mostly because it doesn't have a gun. The missiles are okay, but they struggle to hit a target that is moving AT ALL even if they are just slightly moving faster than you in a straight line. The gun problem though. I have been in SO many situations where if I had a gun I would have gotten the kill. So many pointless dogfights because I can't do anything about it. I don't play War Thunder anymore so it isn't a problem anymore.

[@user-su1my6om4u]

0:14 the Sea vixen prototype was originally meant to have four 20 mm ADEN cannons in the nose, But they were removed on the production model for what ever reason (probably so that they could fit in the radar).

[@chaosinsurgency6636]

Fun fact the Sea Vixen uses the same radar as the F 3-D, the first American naval jet in its techtree

[@Skyfighter64]

Sea Vixen was my first missile kill when I joined Missile Thunder in my F-100D. Not long after that, I gave up missiles entirely for grinding in my F-100 and stuck to base bombing, since it was just more reliably profitable.

This plane can actually dogfight 1v1. The thing is that nobody expects that and you get limited time to kill them once they overshoot. Very satisfying ☺️

This plane is the biggest reason why I avoid 9.0 most of the time. It's not even the plane's performance itself, it's just that you can never afford to have your tail towards it. I find the F11 to be an alright counter, but in such fights the Sea Vixens go for the undershoot and pop a Red Top.

This was very helpful, thanks mate! I kept losing fights in this thing and you've given me some good ideas to run with. You mentioned it is not a good aircraft to grind out the British tree. Which would you say is?

[@SeekerHead]

It’s not a terrible option per se, but you’re limited by the lack of gun, it caps out quickly. Unfortunately the Brits really don’t have any great options in my opinion for grinding, I wouldn’t buy any of the expensive packs unless they’re on sale

[@djwoody1649]

@@SeekerHead Thanks for getting back to me. yes, I don't know if you mentioned it in the video but the Vixen does not do well when up-tiered. It can't really compete without countermeasures or guns against some of those more accurate missiles and maneuverable planes. If there are no other options for Britain in the premium selection, then I won't bother with them and just plod through with the tech tree ones. Patriotism does however preclude me from taking your advice from another video (I believe it was your Tornado one), where you said something to the effect of 'the best way to get through top tier Britain is to pick another nation.'

[@gefallenerengel1306]

The missile knows where it is at all times! It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is - whichever is greater - it obtains a difference or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviation to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is, to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position that it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation. The variation being the difference between where the missile is and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows: Because a variation has modified some of the information that the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice versa. And by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.
