Survivability and armour
Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.

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
Pros:
- Great acceleration
- Excellent climb rate
- Powerful armament: the 37 mm and 23 mm combination can shatter targets in a few well-placed hits
- Good manoeuvrability, thanks to its low wing loading
- Great service ceiling
- Good high-altitude performance compared to other jets at its BR
- Rockets can double as flares, which is useful in uptiers
Cons:
- Slow roll rate, especially at high speeds
- Control surfaces stiffen up at high speeds
- Cannons are hard to aim, due to different trajectories
- Low ammo count for cannons
- No air-to-air missiles
- Poor cockpit visibility in Simulator Battles
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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).
