Sea Vixen, likewise, is no different in that regard, as there is a wide array of custom loadout options available for it. However, one thing to be cautious of during the loadout is its weight, as there is a limit to how many missiles and rockets you can equip Sea Vixen with without affecting its flight performance.
Below is a list of all the rockets, missiles, and bombs that can be loaded onto Sea Vixen:
- 500 lb H.E. M.C. Mk.II bombs: x4

- 1,000 lb H.E. M.C. Mk.13 bomb: x2

- RP-3 rockets: x16
- AGM-12B Bullpup missiles: x2
- Firestreak missiles: x4
- Red Top missiles: x4
Tips & Usage
- It’s recommended to use Red Top missiles instead of Firestreak, as they have a comparatively much higher top speed and warhead.
- It is best to attack enemies from the side instead of confronting them head-on, as Red Tops have a much higher chance of hitting the enemies from the side.
- Only engage in dogfights against other jet fighters only if you have allies covering you from behind.
- Otherwise, it is best to remain on the sidelines and target those jets that have lost their speed and are not expecting a sudden attack.
- Be cautious of all MiG 15s and 17s and A-4E Early, as they have the ability to outmaneuver your jet and render your missiles useless, respectively.
