It's actually pretty good. Jack of all trades, making it perfect for any sort of "light" carrier (be it traditional sea-going or a space-going carrier). In a sense it is much like some of the classic planes of World War II, including the F4U Corsair and the F6F - or the F-4 Phantom for that matter. It is, for all intents and purposes, a fighter-bomber that does both tasks very well, particularly in it's E/F variants.
