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:

  • Excellent firepower with GSh-30-2 having high shell velocity and powerful punch
  • Durable airframe capable of surviving multiple hits
  • Access to all-aspect R-60MK missles with excellent performance
  • Decent acceleration
  • Wide array of air to ground armament with possibility to create custom loadouts

Cons:

  • Relatively low top speed
  • Rather poor manoeuvrability at low-medium speeds
  • Can reach its rip speed in level flight if not careful
  • Big size makes it an easy target to hit

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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