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:

  • Exceptional power to weight ratio
  • Extremely good acceleration
  • Is a thrust vectoring VTOL aircraft
    • Can take off / land vertically
    • Nozzles can be deflected in flight to help with manoeuvring
  • Extremely powerful SRAAM missiles

Cons:

  • Limited WEP duration
  • Engine overheats if left at high throttle setting for too long
  • Although deflecting nozzles in flight can help with manoeuvrability doing so bleeds a lot of speed

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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