This page is about the British jet fighter Sea Venom FAW 20. For the standard version, see Venom FB.4. |
Description
The Sea Venom FAW 20 is a rank V British naval jet fighter
with a battle rating of 8.0 (AB/SB) and 7.7 (RB). It was introduced in Update 1.57 "Battle March".
The Sea Venom FAW.20 is a carrier-based jet fighter located in the British naval lineup after the Sea Hawk FGA.6. The Sea Venom has very good diving characteristics, good roll rate making it a notable defensive flyer, and decent speed characteristics for a jet of its battle rating. It should be played as a Boom & Zoom aircraft, and it's very important to keep its speed up as the acceleration is somewhat lacklustre.
General info

Survivability and armour
- 3 mm Steel plate under the jet engine.
Armaments
Offensive armament
The Sea Venom FAW 20 is armed with:
- 4 x 20 mm Hispano Mk.V cannons, nose-mounted (150 rpg = 600 total)
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).
Radars
The sea venom is equipped with an AI Mk. X search radar, located in the nose of the aircraft.

- The engine is somewhat underpowered, so it is recommended to research compressor and engine modifications first for better acceleration and top speed.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Adequate ammo supply of 600 rounds (150 RPG)
- Able to land on carriers in case an airfield is not available
- Good turn time and roll rate
- Good at defensive flying
- Very good at diving with a high rip speed of 1,040 km/h IAS
- Retains energy well
- Low compression at high speeds
- Faster than most aircraft it faces when down-tiered
- Has access to a search radar (max range 18 km, fast sweep)
Cons:
- G-LOCs easily
- Does not prepare you well for top rank combat (for new top tier pilots in air realistic battles)
- No payload (for tank realistic battles)
- Subpar acceleration
- Rudder effectiveness is inadequate, due to small size
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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.
See also
Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
- reference to the series of the aircraft;
- links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
External links
Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:
- topic on the official game forum;
- encyclopedia page on the aircraft;
- other literature.
