Due to this method of construction the vehicle requires a larger crew than a normal combat vehicle would typically have. While its engine was powerful enough move the aircraft at reasonable speed, its armor was insufficient against modern ground fire with only 3.5 tons of Primitive Armor, equivalent to BAR-6 Grade civilian commercial armor. The fighter was powered by an ICE type engine, which gave it modest speed for its time.
