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:
- Large variety of ground attack ordnance, including TV-guided ground bombs
- Good turn rate at low speeds
- Carries countermeasures to deal with missiles
Cons:
- Wings can rip off at high speed or high negative G manoeuvres
- Sluggish acceleration and underperforming engine for the aircraft
- Bleeds air speed quickly in high G turn
- Can stall out quickly in Sim Battles without SAS (Stability Augmentation System)
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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).
