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:

Very large air-to-ground payloads, with many choices for suspended weaponry
Access to excellent AIM-9L all-aspect air-to-air missiles
Decent flight characteristics when lightly loaded makes it viable in dogfights
Built-in TRAM turret provides FLIR and laser-targeting capabilities

Cons:

No internal gun; taking gun pods or air-to-air missiles for self-defense reduces payload amount
Loses speed very quickly in turns
Gunpods have poor accuracy and are wing-mounted (convergence issue)
TRAM turret cannot look fully backwards
Relatively low top speed, acceleration and climb rate, especially when carrying heavy payloads
Poor handling at high speeds

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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