Pros and cons
Pros:
- Very nice payloads
- Incredible fuel tank
- Can easily absorb 7.92 mm bullets
Cons:
- Very slow
- Useless defensive armaments
- Really low acceleration
- The engines overheat really fast
- Engines catch fire in just a few shots
- Really low max speed, so the plane cannot perform dive bombing (if attempted)
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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 === Encyclopedia Info ===
, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
