I love Sea Hawk! Or, well... At least I like the German and Dutch / Fr*nch Sea Hawk, the British one is mid. I truely believe these are some of the best, if not the best premium jets one can buy. Not just compared to other Tier 5 premiums, but also compared to the premiums found at Rank 6, Rank 7, and Rank 8.
Previous title;
Why is nobody buying the Sea Hawk Mk.50?
Special thanks to @DraconixDG for the chad pilot used on one of this video's thumbnails.

Seahawk tuah spuug op dat ding
Damn I didn't know DEFYN was like that
Our dutch boi itself, im hard 😩😩
When two dutchman meet what they do?
I’m finna hit you wit Diddy’s finishing move….the “Baby Oil Bounce” 😂
He has spoken.
They're waiting for the "Top Gun" F-14D premium with the proposed AMRAAMS, coming for the June F-18 patch at $85.
watch you be comically accurate because gaijin always stoops a step lower.
But they used the F14A in top gun........ Ah fuck it wont even matter youll be right regardless
June? I believe its coming along with the Su-30 in march
@@Micro-Lander And they did the F-5C for top gun day, despite the F-5s in the movie being Navy ones. 😁
@airlightshockZOV Maybe, june seems more likely IMO but I could be wrong
AIM-9B on this airframe is the definition of: "You don't have to have missiles, but it helps."
Missiles truly are the "Get your ass back here" of 8.0
Walv!s finally remembered his TH-cam password, lets goo
Back when the Spitfire 24 was at 7.0, I would always focus them down in this thing because sending a guided missile against a ww2 prop is the funniest thing ever
"oh, cool jet"
8000ge?
"Oh, cool jet to look at in the tech tree and never ever have"
0:27 that 'S' was so unnessecarily sharp that it was like clawing my brain. God damn
Sorry. On all the devices I watched this video before pushing it live I had no issues. :(
@WalvisYT it's fine, I have tinnitus anyway by playing. War thunder really realistic🤣
@LastGoatKnight lmao glad im not the only one who listens to the game at max volume lolol
@TermIANator like it would matter🤣. You don't hear the enemy regardless
I think part of it is that it's harder to shell out the cash when with a little more spending you can get aircraft that can grind the entire tree. I think most folks buy premiums for grinding rather than novelty
Except you need them, since the sea hawk is really slow
I got a test drive for it way back when it came out, and I can confirm, you are describing it EXACTLY on point as to how it is actually played. Of course, the plane IS in the French tech tree, so not many people buy it.
hi borry :)
best dogfights are with props, before the competency curve starts dropping rapidly once you enter jet territory
While true, prop ARB is abysmal. People run away, airfield camp, spam bombers, etc. I'm just not interested. It also gets barely any views.
dawg i remember the time when this thing was the only "non propeller" aircraft that i can test drive in the whole german tech tree
Missed your videos, glad your back!
As a proud mk100 chad i genuinely had no idea they added this thing
Not buying anything until they remove the auction.
What auction?
@@Monke556VR a new cash grab
I can respect that.
I'm not going to make a video about the whole ordeal, but I too think the auction is an awful idea. It adds nothing beneficial for players.
@@WalvisYT what is an auction
@@WalvisYT Wait, auction?
Will scoop on next sale. I was thinking about it during this last winter sale, but passed on it.
3:38 in realistic sure, in arcade the premium Sea Vixen FAW Mk.2 has 4 red tops/firestreaks at 8.0, used to be 8.7 in RB but it went to 9.0
I ate a cheeseburger this afternoon
Same
good
Cheeseburger👍
sea hawk mk.100 is twice the fun, hence the name
i literally see this ingame every match while using the me 163s
always happy to see a new video coming up. keep it up
Thanks you. Will do! :)
If it was in the tech tree I'd play it all the time. But if you don't pay you get your hands tied behind your back
The jet is actually named after the same base I'm stationed at ATM for phase 2 training
The Meteor F Mk 8 Reaper and F-86F-40 JASDF are some of my favorite premium planes to play just because of their fun play style like what you described about the Sea Hawk Mk.50. I might snag myself one when it goes on sale again just for that sweet SL multiplier and dogfight gameplay.
Both you can only face in a full uptier, and can still kinematically dodge them with relative ease; you just have to be careful to not get caught off-guard.
@ PoV you have MAW built into your brain. 😏
I have tickled so many tailpipes with sidewinders in the F-40
I love how most people wont even touch it just cus it's in the french tree
I believe you. Not because of your excellent presentation but because there are cat memes
For some reson I watched a whole video about a battle rating I will never play. Even after 3000+ hours.
7.0-8.0 is the most fun BR in the game, you're missing out
@@coxfuture6.7 japan... :(
The Seahawk Mk. 100 also is a hidden gem premium
As a friend said about the AIM-9Bs and other of its close relatives "The 9B is an amazing breadstick"
great vid as always, and I agree. I didnt bother getting the sea hawk in the tree for quite a while and that was a mistake. Somehow it just works
I've always wondered about that seahawk too!
7:55
Redtops are actually very good missiles
Firestreaks not so much but they're also uncaged and have decent pull
side aspect monsters
my man with his crazy video editing.
I watched your video about the German one when it went on sale and it's easily my favorite premium plane, since then I've used it to get as far in the German tree as it would get me. I'm currently saving my GE to pick it up when it goes on sale but I've been tempted to pick it up full price
You just made me update the game again.
Back in the days i git the g91 r4 for grinding the italian tech tree. Got all the way to the F104-s and played some. But i was quickly fed up with the jet meta.
After that i chose the mk100 to grind the germans, and honestly i didnt care about grinding after some time. It was just casuallay playing and having fun.
12:13 "the missiles can be fired way outside the range of the gunners"
if you have fun with that, try the sk60b. Together with the rbo5, its hard to score 1 or even 2 kills.
But if you do, it is the most rewarding feeling ever. And these poor Bombers dont stand a chance.
The premium Sea Hawks are the best vehicles for it's br for me, I have never lost a dogfight with the german Sea Hawk Mk.100, I have grinded almost the whole air german tech tree and made about 10mil SL, the only times I barely struggle are on full up-tiers
Yeah, I'm getting it on sale. It's like the Sea Vixen before it got slammed with a nerf stick
You see, in war thunder , if your having fun, someone else isnt
RIP sea hawk at 8.0 saw couple of ppl making video about it recently so its going up in BR shortly :D
You should make a video on the Ariete. I think it is a highly slept on plane as noone plays italy so not many people buy it. I have had some of my most fun times ever playing the game when I fly it.
German Mig19 has no missiles at 9.3... and only 210 rounds of ammo.
I considered buying it, instead bought the F1C-200, I did buy the Sea Vixen instead of a rank 6-7 premium though for the British.
This is the L3 of jets
The closest thing that does carry AAM at that BR is the SAAB 105G
I have the german Sea Hawk for a few years (as far as I remember I bought it with premium Leo in a pack) and NEVER played it. I guess I have to give it a chance, especially the aviation tree is not finished yet. ;)
It's silly how the FGA.6 is the same BR as these two which have missiles, yes AIM9B aren't the best but they're better then just having guns only.
FGA.6 should be dropped back down to 7.7, imao
@@WalvisYTUnrealistic cus gaijin
As a fellow swamp german I aprove this message
The Seahawk is fantastic. Slow, but fantastic
Ik vind het toch jammer dat de BeNeLux tree alleen Belgische F-16's heeft, echt een gemiste kans om de NL'se F-16C toe te voegen
I just finished up my study abroad in Holland. Wonderful country.
Because it's expensive, I'm waiting for it to go on sale
u should always buy on sale
5:09 m..m..massive???
Do you know what else is massive....
I wish this guide came out last christmas sale
I have the German one and it was the first jet I ever got, I have top tier for a couple countries now and it’s still probably my favorite every.
4:08 "Some people think they can outsmart me....Maybe.....maybe..."
4:14 "..I have yet to meet someone that can outsmart Boolet"
He's back, everybody stay calm!
I've also got the german one, its a fun aircraft.
When they added the custom loadouts to it, it became the best fighter bomber Germany has to offer at this tier and arguably the best in the game.
Exactly how many jets in the 8.0-8.7 range can carry t missles with a full load of bombs and rockets at the same time?
Seahawk mk100 my beloved and first ever premium I got hated it at first but it grew on me so much as time went on as very capable
I thought I was the only one with both sea hawks
The video playing with the mk50: th-cam.com/video/x2QeMBOEo38/w-d-xo.html
the shafir 2 is a scary missile and while the red top dosent get much range its still 18gs
They actually changed the red top (like half a year ago now). It's now only 12Gs, but also twice as fast with about 3.5km average rear aspect range (from the lightning).
Video Resume: give the non premium Sea Hawk Aim9Bs
The Hawk will outturn most jets, even the sabres, and the ones that can outturn you, are easily avoided by staying fast because they compress a lot. Like the mig15bis and the early meteors.
ok the mom joke got me, i subbed
Yep, one of my fav jets too. It's simply perfectly balanced.
Also stealth belts love!
Pls do a Video with Defyn, only speaking dutch
having to think with a premium is an instant turnoff for those lvl 16 players
havik tuah op dat ding
A vid on the f3h2 would be fun to see
I got it from the christmas ge crates, spent like 10k ge, and i got it and the japanese viper helo, so got my moneys worth probably
I don't know if he said it in the Video but the Seahawk has AIM-9Bs
He did it. He uploaded!
13:26 - what is that chat...
Love the thumbnail
Good video. Also i like your skin on the F16.
Aim-9b at 8.0 is simplycriminal
I dont really understand why people arent buying the Sea Hawk too
because it's french you must remember war thunder is filled with USA/Germany/USSR fenboys, 80% of war thunder players have never touched the french tech tree, therefore it being less played, i play it because it isnt played alot therefore i always has the upper hand, because who know my 100mm had a 4s reload time
@@Insatiable-saucy Sea Hawk tuah
@ sea hawk tuah mk 50
hoo boy you havent seen sim
Haven't even watched but I wanted to say that I DO want it, but it being so new during the last sales it never got discounted. I'm never paying full price for anything, let alone what this one costs.
Oh, and while I actually prefer the german skin, that thing will practically never get discounted, and besides I'm done with the German tree so it's kinda useless to me lol.
Ooh a vid on the premium sea hawk got the mk 100 a while back love the plane
Bro right when i was watching one of your videos you make a new one
Walv!s having a stroke and redoing the same missile section twice at 9:18, you good chief?
I was recapping everything I said thus far.
instructions unclear i bought the mirage f1
Even if this thing is really good, I'd still wait for a 50% sale.
I'm sorry, but not even the best prem vehicle is worth spending 9k GE 💀
I respect that mindset.
I subbed, video was too good 💯
Thank you
Love the new thumbnail
This is also why the F9F-8 is still pretty fun. It has a bit worse performance and 2 more missiles but otherwise the ups and downs are pretty simmilar. I recommend.
(I also realy recommend the F9F-5, just don't use your WEP at the start of the match and save it for dogfights).
Babe wake up, Walv!s posted
Why is 9:46 so true...
I'm lil part Dutch but Canadian and nice to find a Dutch person who speaks good English unfortunately been difficult learning Dutch. try to learn it to speak to my Dutch grandmother. Also awesome vid still too 👌
Also still sad to see even with 3.2 sl mp and premium days only making 250,000 or less. Remembered when ya could make 800,000 sl in bombing with the a26c the ps4 exclusive pack thats rank four. now ya cant
Funny video, well done!
Hawk tuah, missile on that thang
Because gaijin decided to be moron, that the last 3 update vehicle not get sale instead the last 2 update like it used to
I was going to buy it, but it wasn't on sale.
It was still too new. Around June it should go on sale for the first time, if I am not mistaken.
Walvis, please make a Sea Vixen video
And we celebrate for getting another video
🥳🥳🥳🥳
i already have it, it's a beast for it's BR
I was going to buy it until i saw it was in the french tech tree.
Understandable.
the french have a lot of fun jets, especially.
Does the larger tail and rudder of the Mk.100 really have no effect over the smaller one of the normal and Mk.50 Sea Hawk?
Goeie video Walvis. Ik heb de Duitse versie, voor de Nederlandse wacht ik op een sale. Wanneer komt je decal?
Ik wacht momenteel op goedkeuring van Gaijin
But I do like the sea hawk it’s like an faster meteor plane
It even have the Czech Air Force sign
