The plane is no different in performance from the normal [[P-36A]]. The best tactic to use would be boom & zoom. Without much fire power or ammo, new players may find the aircraft difficult to use. However, the plane can make an excellent low tier bomber interceptor and performs rather well in a dog fight.
