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:

Has access to a large variety of mixed loadouts, including AGM-65 Mavericks
Has the strongest engine among all Skyhawks in-game which allows it to accelerate very well
Can carry the long range AIM-9D when most aircraft it faces have only AIM-9B or equivalent missiles
Hard-hitting DEFA 553 cannons with a lot of ammunition
Excellent roll rate and turn rate
Has access to RWR, flares, and chaff
Has a tough airframe that can take a surprising amount of punishment for its size and weight

Cons:

Wings tend to rip easily during High-G turns
No CCIP for the gun or for rockets
DEFA 553 cannons have rather low muzzle velocity, which makes it harder to aim than most guns
Aircraft performance can become unresponsive when carrying heavy loadouts
Very average top speed which quickly becomes outclassed in uptiers

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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