Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics.

If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

• Clear cockpit view for simulator battle
• Decent turn time for jet
• Good acceleration
• Decent armament 12.7mm M3 with a high rate of fire
• Can carry bombs or rockets
• Decent radar

Cons:

• Easy to rip off the wings with high-speed manoeuvres (realistic and simulator battles)
• This plane against jet with afterburner and missile
• Low ammo count equates to only 15-second burst

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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.
