War Thunder - Sea Vixen "I keep shooting down my friends :("

Interested in purchasing something from the War Thunder Store? You can use this link and get a 3% discount on your next purchase: goo.gl/mqVkc6 As well as an In-Game Bo Decal!
The Sea Vixen is a beautiful and interesting piece of British Aviation history. In-game it can carry 4 Red Top Air to Air Missles or a large selection of bombs/rockets/ and other munitions. No guns though and I like the challenge.

[@jackdiedtoday_]

Are you warming up to jets a little, bo? Can we see some top tier action perhaps?

[@minamotokaruko5574]

The Sea Vixen Guided missile is the most powerful missile of all, combining both the heaviest kinetic and explosive payload available for a platform of its speed

[@Bitchesgivehigh5s]

But it dies out and locks onto teammates 5x more than the enemy chasing him. Meaning it will ignore lock the enemy 1.3km from you and lock the teammate infront of him at 1.6. Its the most frustrating Missile ive used. I also slave missiles with its radar and thats a headache to get it to work. This Plane would be sick if its missiles worked. Hence its the only way to help anyone in a fight. Ive hit G.91 and they take a critical hit from the missile and fly off. Sometimes its the game, sometime its the missile. IDK though. I dont have near as much issue with any other AAM.

[@SinisterMD]

Someone hand it to that F-80 pilot. That was impressive flying.

This is honestly an amazingly beautiful plane, even with the asymmetric design. What is your favorite part about the plane personally?

[@TheRealTburt]

Idk. Probably the stupid tail set up. Never seen anything like it and perhaps for a good reason.

[@redstoneactivator3389]

The second cockpit for the radar operator, like, what?

[@sd501st5]

@@redstoneactivator3389 The cockpit design generates less form drag and thus improves the top speed and acceleration, especially at high speeds, compared to a design that would have both crewmembers sit side by side. And the high tail isn't stupid, not for a 2nd generation Naval Jet at least. A high tail allows for a higher possible AoA(Angle of Attack) than if the elevator would sit at the usual place, slightly above the rear fuselage. In that classic position, at an AoA of maybe around 20 degrees the main wing would start blocking the airflow to the elevator. Meaning, no elevator control above a certain AoA. Now, designs with delta or double delta wings like the Mirage III or Draken don't have that problem, because their elevators are on the main wing. For every other type of wing planform design, it was later noticed that placing the elevators slightly *below* the main wing almost completely cures said problem, and if you take a closer look at select pictures, you will notice that not a single modern high performance *fighter(!)* has it's elevators placed anywhere else than below the main wing. As for Attack/Strike aircraft like the A-10 Thunderbolt II and Bombers like the B-1 Lancer, those aren't supposed to pull high AoA's anyway. ;)

[@redstoneactivator3389]

@@sd501st5 I ment to say that a sunken inline cockpit is an interesting design, obviously it's inline to reduce drag, but why did they give the radar operator such a large window facing up no less. I just love these aircraft that have usually 2 to 3 crew? in weird locations through out the plane, like nose cupolas and etc.

[@RubyFox_YT]

the best way to use the red tops is to radar lock your target, it helps a ton

[@botimegaming]

To my understanding, it only helps with the missle acquiring the lock. The Redtop operates by IR. Once it leaves the rack the missle is gonna lock onto the heat source... and has no way of being assisted by the radar. In the video, I was actually smashing the radar button a lot. Sometimes you saw it lock on... sometimes it did nothing... and other times it just made a green arrow at the top of the screen and then did nothing. A lot of other KZbinr have been complaining about radar lock in this patch as well.

[@RubyFox_YT]

@@botimegaming I see. From my experience it sometimes does help the missle track for whatever reason, but I understand your logic.

[@Hallands.]

The Sea Vixen would’ve been even more deadly with a decent gun! Its maneuverability considered, it’s puzzling why de Havilland chose to omit guns imo…
