This plane is a lot better than I originally thought.

First, even though its base Cst is 675, it actually counts as a 700 Cst multirole (yes stats bars do lie; air and ground damage are equal to other 700 Cst multiroles, such as the new F-15E -Gemini-, but it's slightly cheaper than true 700 Cst aircraft).

And as such, its special armament is up there in the 700-cst class of multiroles, which is just a tad worse than the following clad, the 725-750 cst class, where stand the standard Berkut, the F-35Bs, standard and Pixy Morgans, most special versions of the Rafale, etc. So that being said, it has currently the most powerful RKTL among multiroles, and also the second strongest HPAA after the Berkuts.

I have a strong feeling that its HPAA can actually also be used as an A2G weapon, if dumbfired (since it's coming from a multirole, it doesn't suffer the ground damage penalty that HPAA from fighters would suffer). Yes, the Berkuts may also use this to their advantage but it's kind of unnecessary for them, since they have the much more powerful and versatile UGB.
