So we give the Harrer GR.1 IRL working SRAAMs and place both aircraft at new 9.7
That used to be usable with the old fm as firing at 0.8km wasnt impossible. now they seem to take longer to arm as they accelerate faster but now turn a whole shit ton less further out making side aspect shots usless as they simply cant pull in time. It should be able to see super sonics in all aspect as well as after burning jets.
Add gun please.
We need the other sea vixen for that, but would make an excellent option for the TT
A slightly faster sea vixen with a 4 gun aden gun pod, would make an excellent premium… Just a shame the one in game is a premium instead of a tt as having both as a premium would just be sad.

Perhaps, Id prefer one in the TT, and its probably best to be the one with the guns, as the red tops (only) are very hard to use. So you dont need to do as well to have a profitable match being premium
I have a solution and it is:
Spoiler
Give the Sea Vixen AN/APG-81, AIM 260s, R-27ET and Meteor
This would be a very good change and balance new more.
Caution: Viewer disgression be advised, some of the mentioned above will trigger some skill issues.

It never had any guns in real life.
To be fair, the 2A38 doesn’t exist past a couple of test units but it’s a premium in common usage and the DH 110 did originally have guns…… so they could give it guns.
Plus it used standard nato shackles for weapons so theoretically it could have mounted a NATO gunpod…
Yeah worst br change ever … Vixen Will ne stay on 8.7 not 9.0 … facing more powerfull and way better oponents … like mig 21s for example

Usually I’m okay when a vehicle I play goes up in BR. I hardly ever disagree with Gaijin’s balancing. However, this is my exception. Sea Vixen was usable and fun at 8.7 - because it was 8.7 (and at that BR you can out-run most/all enemies). You’re given no guns and 4 missiles that anyone with 0.2 brain cells can dodge. It was never even a question of the enemy having flares or not, because you don’t need flares to easily dodge red tops. They’ve gone and killed my boy. I’m not surprised though, they have Hunter F.6 at 9.7 without flares, sub-sonic, and with missiles that need to be within 1KM to work. I’m always the guy laughing at people saying ‘Britain suffers’, because the ground tree is so damn good, but man, some of the air BRs are actual suffer.

Have you guys tried stopping paying these guys money? Because they keep doing things like this with the equipment all the time.

Sadly not, spent 80 bucks on a Boat yesterday ;(
Yeah, Red Tops now have no excuse to not get their missing all aspect. Even with that, people could dodge easily, but at least the sea-vixen would be able to get shots of reasonably reliably.
As for SRAAMs… Year old bug report for them to have double their current range.

I had something strange happen lately. I got a stable lock in my Vixen with the Red Tops in a head on and the severe/kill for it.
Against an AB target like an F-104 you can get a lock, but i dont find it consistant enough for normal use, though I havent used it super recently.
But should be 3.5km front aspect lock vs basically anything
