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 CCIP, which is rare for its battle rating
- It has rare features for SB at his BR, such as SAS and a modern HUD with sight customization
- Small aircraft, can avoid many shots
- Excellent 30 mm cannons that are great for head-ons
- Very light aircraft, can pull out great manoeuvres
Cons:
- No RWR or radar
- No guided weapons or air-to-air missiles
- Cannot equip countermeasures
- Equipping bombs makes the plane really heavy (especially M116A2 bombs)
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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).
