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:
- Has access to a large variety of mixed loadouts, including the AGM-65 Mavericks
- Has the strongest engine among all Skyhawks in-game which gives allows it to accelerate very well
- Can carry the AIM-9D when most aircraft it faces have only AIM-9B or equivalent missiles
- Hard hitting DEFA 553 cannons with a lot of ammunition
- Excellent roll rate and turn rate
- Has access to RWR, flares, and chaff.
- Has a tough airframe that can take a surprising amount of punishment for its size and weight
Cons:
- Wings tend to rip easily during High-G turns
- No CCIP for any weapon
- DEFA 553 cannon's rather low muzzle velocity makes it harder to hit than most guns
- Aircraft performance can become unresponsive when carrying heavy loadouts
- The top speed of the aircraft can be a limiting factor in up-tiers as other opponents can outrun you with relative ease
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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.
