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:

• 8 x 7.7mm MG are quite beginner-friendly to practice aim
• Excels at low-speed dogfighting, can effectively engage agile planes like Ki-43
• Also capable of Boom & Zoom tactics against energy fighters like Bf 109E
• Tracer belts are mostly made up of incendiary ammunition, which easily sets enemy planes on fire
• Great for simulator: clear view over the nose and is stable in a turn

Cons:

• rifle-calibre machine gun has low damage against robust targets like F4U, Ju-88
• Only has 2,800 bullets, so careful shot placement is crucial in realistic and simulator battles
• Combat flaps will rip at relatively low speeds (>270 km/h)
• Slow level flight speed compared to other aircraft like Bf 109 F, Ki-61
• Lacklusture roll rate against planes like Fw-190A

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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