Sea Vixen Fragility

The Sea Vixen is one of my favorite planes to play. Definitely off-META, but a fun challenge and a good SL earner.

Recently, I’ve begun to notice that it is extremely fragile. Namely, a single hit from a 20 mm or 30 mm almost always makes the aircraft completely uncontrollable. As someone who plays all tech trees and many aircraft (check my profile), this is far outside the norm.

That said, I am at a loss about how to even report the issue.

Anyone else notice this problem? Anyone have any ideas about how to configure a report?

The jets with the more flying wing design suffer from it.

Something weird with their models.

Even before the bomber buff an overall buff to aircraft survivability was in order, especially againt .50 cal rounds.

You should try the SK60 and the SAAB-105G, any hit whatsoever will knock out your tail control and you’re dead in the water right away

I dont think its a reportable issue, its just a consequence of the aircraft having a unique layout that results in being quite vulnerable to damage in the shoddy damage model systems we have currently

Buc is another with a layout that results in critical damage from normally not that bad hits.

Its the Tonkas that I think have problematic damage models at the moment actually, because they dont have an excuse for why their FM falls apart from the lightest scratch
