Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Good flight characteristics
  • Better long-distance accuracy than other rockets
  • Has no self-destruction range
  • High damage to ammunition racks
  • Can sink larger vessels

Cons:

  • No explosive filler, rendering it useless on non-direct hits and unable to trigger overpressure on light targets
  • Fires in pairs of two on some aircraft, which can be a waste of rockets

History

Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon 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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-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 />.

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
