Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in an aircraft, the features of using vehicles 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.

Cons:
- Big plane, perfect target for enemy fighters
- Fighting other planes is requiring good aiming skills
- Can't rely much on AI gunner, no good armor
- Very slow turning speed
- 600km/h at 6750m is good, but in reality you'll be queal or slower than Su-6 at lower heights
