Pros and cons

Summarize 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 - they have a substitution in the form of softer "inadequate", "effective".

Pros:

• Insane turn time of 8 seconds
• Four 7.62 mm machine guns are powerful for its rating
• Small target overall

Cons:

• First-Person zoom view can be obstructed by the telescope
• Vulnerable to heavy machine gun fire (ex. .50 caliber M2 Browning, 12.7 mm Breda SAFAT)
• Bomb load is not very good for attacking ground targets
• Rather slow in general compared to other aircraft at its rank

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.

Media

An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
