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
Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

History
After the first flight on December 4th, 1953, the Vautour IIA was a jet bomber ordered by the French Army to have a jet bomber with low level attack and the ability to operate in all weather. A total of 30 IIAs were produced, with 17 going to Israel. France and Israel worked together on defense, such as on nuclear, aviation, and research for armaments. Israel was motivated to buy the Vautour to counteract the Egyptian IL-28, purchased from the Soviet Union.
The IIN was a two-seat, all-weather interceptor aircraft with radar, and armed with cannons, Air-to-Air Missiles, and unguided rockets. It was operated by the "Bat" squadron out of Tel-Nof, until the arrival of the Mirage IIIC, where they were handed over to the "Knights of the Heart" division. The Vautour was used as aerial reconnaissance and night interceptors during the Six-Day War, as well as later in the 1960's. They were replaced by the A-4 Skyhawk and the F4-E Phantom. The Vautour was retired in 1972, with the "Knights of the Heart" division replacing them with the Skyhawk and the Phantom.
