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:

• Additional gun pods and selectable cannons are adequate for enhanced firepower
• Great climb rate, effective for gaining advantages
• Highly effective in the Boom and Zoom role
• Good vertical energy retention

Cons:

• Subpar stock performance
• Flaps respond slowly and tear at low speeds
• Overheating occurs with excessive use of WEP

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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