 Introduced as a [[wt:en/news/6072-shop-update-1-87-pre-orders-en|premium pack]] in [[Update 1.87 "Locked On"]], the Sea Hawk Mk.100 is a mighty ground attacker, but also a capable air-to-air fighter. Though not as fast and sleek as other conventional fighters, in the hands of the right pilot, this aircraft can be critical to turning the tide in a match. Though hindered by the straight wings and Rolls-Royce Nene engine, compared to other contemporary aircraft, especially the swept-wing MiGs, the Mk.100 can hold its own in air combat. Though attempting to dogfight with rockets and bombs suspended from the aircraft is unwise, going for the more streamlined approach of just adding two AIM-9B Sidewinder missiles will bring the Mk.100 into contender status. Care is a must when firing a Sidewinder as there is potential for it to latch its targeting system onto friendly aircraft or even the sun. The four autocannons can make short work of other fighters and even bombers when targeting critical components such as engines, cockpit and fuel tanks.

-The Mk.100 proved to be a capable multi-role aircraft, primarily outfitted for ground attack, it could also double as a fighter or bomber interceptor. With its excellent range, launching it from an aircraft carrier allowed it to extend its range without having to rely on ground bases. Options to carry bombs, rockets or a mix of both allowed the Mk.100 to attack both fixed and mobile targets. The aircraft sported four 20 mm autocannons all outfitted in the lower fuselage of the plane negating the need to factor in convergence when targeting aircraft or ground targets.

 The Sea Hawk does not have swept wings, so its high speed performance suffers a lot, but also makes it a very capable dogfighter at low and medium speed with its main strength being the instantaneous turn rate. However, the energy retention and poor acceleration makes it worse in any prolonged fight than a F2H, Yak-30 or MiG-15, after one or two full circles it will start struggling a lot.
 When it has some energy to spare the plane can pull even 13G, more than most of its competitors, making it a very dangerous enemy to any plane with swept wings, although it will significantly reduce its speed. The roll rate is quite good at low and medium speed, it can reach over 125°/s at 500 km/h IAS, but once the plane gains some more speed it decreases to 65°/s at 850 km/h IAS.
 The plane is equipped with two huge airbrakes in its wings that can help with reduce the speed after reaching the low structural limit value or during the landing. The flaps have very high limits, both positions can be used during the combat to further increase its instantaneous turn rate.

 As one of the last modifications of the type, the Sea Hawk FGA.6 was developed to incorporate changes from the previous FB.3 and FGA.4 ground attack variants and combine them with the new Rolls-Royce Nene Mk.103 engine which provided a greater power output.
-In the early 1960s, the British Navy almost completely abandoned the use of Sea Hawk and a handful of other vehicles being used in a limited number of secondary roles until the end of the decade. However, the aircraft was still in service by some countries like West Germany, the Netherlands and India. In fact, India continued to operate Sea Hawks well into the 1980s!
