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:

• Powerful armament consisting of 2 x 20 mms and 2 x 7.7 mms, can easily start fires and shred biplanes
• Above average climb rate for its BR
• Only one fuel tank, so fires usually would not be started if the aircraft was tailed
• Great turn time (16 seconds in RB)
• Engine takes a while to overheat on WEP
• Does not rip or even compress at little over 600 km/h, allowing it to safely dive on its opponents
• Short takeoff run
• As a premium aircraft, has better SL and RP rewards than regular aircraft
• Fixed landing gear makes landings easier and more simplified

Cons:

• Rather slow for its BR
• Only has landing flaps
• 20 mm cannons technically only have 60 rounds (60 rounds per gun, but they fire at the same time)
• Cannons have a rather slow rate of fire
• Cannons easily overheat after a short time of continuous firing
• No armour

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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