Survivability and armour
The Sea Vixen FAW.2 has no armour plates or bulletproof glass. The engines are both mounted in the centre of the airframe, with fuel tanks mainly in the wings. The tail overall is fairly weak and can be blown off easily by large calibre cannons, however the flap on the rear of the elevator can sometimes absorb shots, protecting the main elevator from damage. Unfortunately the Sea Vixen generally handles poorly when damaged, performance is reduced fairly significantly by damage to the wings and asymmetric damage can make control very difficult.

Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Very high top speed of over 1,100 km/h at sea level
- Good acceleration thanks to its two powerful engines
- Red Top missiles can be very hard to dodge when used correctly
- Climbs better than most aircraft it faces
- Is surprisingly manoeuvrable
- Can carry AGM-12B Bullpup air-to-ground missiles
- Decent ground attack ordnance loadouts
- Can drop bombs / fire rockets separately instead of in pairs
- Can take-off and land from aircraft carriers
Cons:
- The Sea Vixen has no guns or cannons, relying entirely on missiles for air-to-air combat
- Missiles are rear-aspect only so you cannot engage targets you are approaching head-on (or from the front aspect in general)
- Although you can use RN rockets for air-to-air they are very hard to aim and are impact fuse only
- Both Red Top and Firestreak missiles do not have great range when fired from directly behind a target.
- Only having four air-to-air missiles with no other air-to-air armament limits how many kills you can get without re-arming
- Unlike in aircraft with guns you cannot opportunistically kill ground targets while flying around
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
