Pros and cons

Summarise 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 - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

Pros:

- Deadly armament, 37mm cannon can tear apart any air target by just one or two hits

-Backup machine guns are powerful and has a lot off ammunition

- Very good climb rate;capable of bomber hunting

- Turns fairly well

- The pilot is relatively well protected

- Premium rewards

-Trycicle landing gear allows you to break continously on the runway till full stop

- Great dive characteristics and very high rip speed

Cons:

- Catch fire easily, as all Airacobras

- The 37mm cannon is inaccurate, has a very little ammo pool and fire rate, suffering from low velocity and slow-travelling shells

- Turns worse than the P-39N-0, because the two additional .50cals creating more drag

- Bad altitude performance

- Jack of all trades, but master of none; requires great experience and knowledge from the pilot to make good choices most of the time (depends on enemy plane & situation)

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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