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:

  • Fast aircraft, possesses a powerful engine that will get you to the battle much quicker than most
  • Multiple loadouts allow decent CAS/AA options for GRB
  • Radar missiles can surprise opponents not expecting to be engaged at such a distance
  • Tight turn rate

Cons:

  • Air-to-air missiles are underwhelming and are mostly effective only against inattentive pilots
  • Bleeds excessive amounts of energy during turns
  • Cannon requires careful use due to the limited amount of rounds
  • Energy retention isn't the greatest
  • Fuel-hungry engine, 20m of fuel will quickly disappear if not paying attention

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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