Take the Sea Vixen back to 8.7

The powercreep it suffers on 9.0 or above makes this aircraft unusable. The lack of guns, afterburner and reliance on 4 missiles which can be easily dodged are more than enough justification to say that it shouldn’t be seeing matchups where most aircraft are supersonic.

Sure, it can get downtiered, but when that doesn’t happen, this aircraft is simply helpless.

Jet BRs need massive decompression, not just downtiering random jets to compress lower BRs more

Compression, Next!

He doesn’t know, He doesn’t know, He doesn’t know, He doesn’t know

not a bad idea.
also Su-7 to 9.0

Sea Vixen is perfectly fine at 9.0

No to both, this is definitely a joke so yeah

Red top is a noticeable upgrade over other first missiles and shouldn’t be called as bad.
Way easier to lock allowing for shots on perpendicular opponents, higher g overload by a little, and I believe also has a bigger warhead (not sure about proxy range differences if it even has proxy).

I play scimitar at 8.7 a lot; I believe they both have similar engines, one just trades cannons for missile quality, which I think is somewhat fair. Depends on how maneuverable sea vixen is compared to scimitar to go down in rating. Both have the insane acceleration but I know the scimitar is quite bad at turns.
