Oh my sweet summer child, you have no idea.
I will say though that most of my kills with the Sea Vixen on AIR SIM are against people who are not paying attention or bombers like the Tu-95 or IL-28, and every now and then fighters who are just flying in a straight line cluelessly once I get behind them (kinda funny they can’t spot my gigantic airframe coming up on them, which like I said, is a major skill issue).
The slight cancerousness of the Sea Vixen could have been avoided if Gaijin added the FAW Mk.1 as the premium and FAW Mk.2 in the tech tree.
This is above average rear visibility for a jet at this BR. There is a plane behind me.
Where exactly is he?
So now your complaint is that you can’t see things that approach you from behind…? Huh?
the complaint is that this retarded vehicle has missiles which are seen at 9.7 is in 8.3, whilst also having a search radar and generally can out perform every vehicle in it’s bracket, you must be overlooking just how insane this vehicle is in sim, there is a reason why within TEN MINUTES of ANYONE who joins a lobby with the vixen is able to drop 3 player kills and wipe all the ai objectives with ease whilst not being contested because you have the ability to just avoid ANY danger before it arrives.
people are tired of playing against this dogshit except for the premium pay piggies themselves who can just drool over their K.D (whilst being negative in every other fighter they play that isn’t a missle slinger BTW) and actually try to lecture you on “why you are just bad” whilst everyone else just rolls their eyes RTB’s and leaves for a 5.7 or a 3.3 match instead.
I really should buy the Sea Virgin someday so I can see for myself just how “”“bad”“” it is.
And the thing I’m wondering is which one screams more about “skill issue”: claiming that Ariete sits on a perfectly fine BR or trying to justify Sea Vixen being totally okay on its current BR.
Doesnt mean it has to go down,mind you it faces F104s and Mig21s so i dont see where in gods name you want to move it up even further
Its already 8.7 and it struggles…make it 9.0 and you kill it completely
Most planes at that br have everything over the Vixen + they have counters so your missiles are just…useless
Who’s gonna win this fight if it was a 9.0 plane
The Vixen?
Or this petite little thing?
Or this…
or even this from the US again
at last imma share as example…
Mind some of these planes i showed,the Vixen already encounters them
yeah clearly putting a plane with no guns,missiles that 75% of the time dont work cause many reason,normal speed and bad turn rate (compared to others),do you think it should go up to 9.0?
I think it actually should go down in BR by at least 0.3
PS : i just seen this
How can this thing be at this br,its GARBAGE
This is a thread about AIR SIMULATOR where it is the same BR as an F9F-8
Yeah just seen it,prob had another page open and mixed them up…Silly silly me
But i mean,what i said still stands,aint a really good plane regardless
It’s a lower BR than an F-86 Sabre or MiG-17. It gets to shoot IR missiles at planes much slower than it and planes without any kind of countermeasure.
Turning being the literally only countermeasure you need to defeat Red Tops lol
Any planes has to just turn slightly to one direction and the missiles turns out to be useless…
The missiles are insanely bad,works only bots or afk players
They are comparable to AIM-9E at the worst and have a huge gimbal limit.
lol
And that’s with morvran’s well-known bias for britain. The closest equivalent to Sea Vixen is like 9.3.
I’ve always wondered how does one ever manage to die in Sea Vixen. Perhaps you could enlighten me?
So you will spot enemies (and friendlies) easier and further away, get always to choose when to engage and disengage, and on top of that you also get a good missile which you may launch on people without flares.
Vautour? Do people even play that thing?
This also means you spend basically no time chasing a dot in the distance just for it to be a friendly. You IFF them and that’s it.
Depends what you consider…“performance”
Pumping it up to 9.3 cause of a simple radar and mediocre missiles at best it aint really a reason to be honest
I was thinking of the notably better top speed + accelration than anything it will ever face combained with decent high speed handling and energy retention. Are you yourself trying to imply that Sea Wixen has somehow “bad” flying performance?
I’m actually fine with 9.0 where it would still be a real menace with its flying perforemance and RWR+radar+good missile kit.
But since you brought up 9.3 for some reason: I do think Sea Vixen would do also fine there. It would still have both the best missile on its BR and better RWR+radar combination than its enemies. But sure, at 9.3 the flying perfomance would not necessary allow it be totally untouchable in all situations.
