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:

  • Well armoured
  • Powerful, multi-purpose canons to attack ground and air targets
  • Good short term manoeuvrability at moderate speeds
  • Gunner & pilot are very well protected
  • Good payload options, including 10 x RS/RBS-132 rockets

Cons:

  • Gunner has restrictive firing angles
  • Defensive armament doesn't keep up with the opposition offensive armament
  • Bad sustained turn rate
  • Bad climb-rate compared to fighters
  • Uncontrollable at high speeds and bad redline speeds
  • Engine overheats easily

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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