Suspended armament

Describe the aircraft's suspended armament: additional cannons under the wings, bombs, rockets and torpedoes. This section is especially important for bombers and attackers. If there is no suspended weaponry remove this subsection.

Default weapon presets
  • 2 x 277 kg GBU-12 Paveway II bombs (554 kg total)
  • 2 x 2,185 lb GBU-27 Paveway III bombs (4,370 lb total)
  • 2 x 2,081 lb GBU-10 Paveway II bombs (4,162 lb total)
  • 2 x 1,970 lb GBU-31 JDAM bombs (3,940 lb total)
  • 2 x 1,092 lb GBU-16 Paveway II bombs (2,184 lb total)
  • 2 x 500 lb GBU-38 JDAM bombs (1,000 lb total)
  • 2 x 2,000 lb LDGP Mk 84 bombs (4,000 lb total)
  • 2 x 1,000 lb LDGP Mk 83 bombs (2,000 lb total)

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".

Pros:

Has access to differed verity of bombs

Stealth technology immunes the plane against most of missiles

Cons:

No afterburner

No missiles

No countermeasures

Hard to control during maneuvers due to weak engines and flight performance

stealth technology is almost useless at that battle rating during air battles

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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