Usage in battles
Belt choice is critical for this plane. These belts are recommended:
- 20 mm cannon - Use "Air targets", as the ground targets belt won't make a difference when attacking light ground vehicles. This belt will be good for bomber hunting
- 13 mm MG - "Air targets" is a good belt, because it contains a lot of tracer and high-explosive rounds, good for air and ground targets
- 57 mm tankbuster - Use "Ground targets", as it has VERY high pennetration, and the gun shouldn't really be used against air targets
- 13 mm turret - Use "Universal", it is good for knocking common enemies out of the sky, like the A6Ms, Yaks, and Bf 109s.

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
