Usage in battles

The A-1H can perform well in battles at its BR, either in a CAS role with 30 x 250 lb bomb capacity, 228 x FFAR rockets and 11 x Mk 77 mod 2 incendiary bombs. Once the ordnance is expended, it can also perform decently as a fighter since it has flares, which allows for it to be used in higher tier battles.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Huge and varied payload options, including napalms and rockets, as well as retarded bombs
  • Access to custom loadout options
  • Can mount up to 8 miniguns with plenty of ammunition, capable of destroying any planes with a short burst
  • Access to countermeasures, making it an ideal CAS in ground battles
  • Four 20 mm cannons are good for ground targets and plane
  • Sturdy and armoured enough to tank on machine gun and cannon rounds

Cons:

  • Mediocre manoeuvrability that worsens with a payload you carry
  • 20 mm cannons and miniguns have different ballistic properties, can make lining up shot somewhat tricky
  • Can face jet aircraft that can easily hunt down and destroy the plane
  • Mighty Mouse Rockets are ineffective, requiring a direct hit even against SPAA

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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).
