And there is a Su 17M2 at 10.7 without cm and absolutly bad performance overall and there is a F4C without cm and on aim9Es. So I think in this way 9.3 for 4 15 G all aspekt missiles is pretty fair

again, if an IL-28 finds themselves with a Sea-vixen gunning for them, there isnt a lot they are going to do about. Even with the 1.5km range Red Tops we had previosuly. They were an easy kill for me in Sim. Now with 3km range its even easier. The fact I could fire from any aspect and instead of having to position myself behind the target first doesnt really change the outcome of that fight .
Il-28 probably should just be at a lower BR instead.
Those are super-sonic aircraft with good missiles and overall flight performance.
and its 4x 12g Missiles and no guns. Remember. We arent talking about something that can just gun the target if it runs out of missiles or if the target is flaring. Its Red top or nothing.
You just want it easy to get kills thats all. I normaly get 1-2 kills with 2 aim9b if I just attack the right targets. Making it all aspect is not fair.
Except it was a limited all aspect missile, and performance is significantly decreased.
When you can’t even kill a helicopter with a Red Top, there’s a sufficient issue to want it to be addressed.
Not like they’re asking for something accurate changed. Litterally just asking for it to be modeled correctly….
There are way more things that need to be “modeled correctly” and thats your proplem. A 8.7 premium plane almost nobody knows… Respect
The issue with the Redtops isn’t unique to the Vixen though……
So? A Missile used by 1x TT and 2x premiums shouldnt be fixed because “no one plays it?”
100/100 You got full score
I read somewhere that the Sea Vixen could carry napalm tanks. Do you know anything about that?
Yep, it’s in the flight manual for it. Flame has a bug report for it submitted but on the old forums and its hidden. But confirmed to still be “active”. But yes, there is a bug report well over a year old for Napalm on the Sea-Vixen that has yet to be fixed. (also one for the Buc S2 in the same state)
Maybe it’s time to update those reports? It seems like they’ve been long forgotten. And with the recent changes to unguided rockets, napalm has become relevant again.
Yeah, they should. Buc S2 with Napalm would be fun and would at long long last give us a non-premium aircraft with Napalm (Harrier Gr1 and Strikemaster are the only aircraft at the moment with napalm)
Also work being done to give Lightning F53 Napalm as well (as well as a much larger bomb load)
