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
Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

History
The FFA P-16 was a prototype plane designed as an air superiority fighter and built in Switzerland by FFA Altenrhein near lake Constance. The plan was to build more than 100 jets, but two of the five prototypes crashed in lake Constance during test flights. No one was harmed, but the Swiss government decided to shut down the project. One remaining plane stands in the Flieger Flab Museum in Zurich, the other two have been scrapped. The tail number is the same as one of the prototypes had, XHB-VAD, the X standing for experimental prototype.
