== Usage in battles ==

''Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics.

=== 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:'''

*

'''Cons:'''

== 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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template.

U104812205: In war thunder, In order to get the award "One Shot" the player must kill 3 tanks in a row without missing. In the game and Wikipedia, it does not say how many times the player must continue since the details are too vague. FEEL FREE TO EDIT IT =)

'''Match awards''' are like mini-achievements, resetting at the end of each game and can be earned anew in the next match. Each one of these will provide a silver lions {{sl}} reward after the match end. Some awards are needed to complete [[Daily missions]].

'''Streaks''' are earned for continuous, successive acts during a match. The player is rewarded for his ongoing efforts with silver lions {{sl}}.
