I used to fly these as an aggressor pilot against our US military. It is a 30mm gun. The thing had a habit of rolling rapidly if during a high bank angle turn and loading it. The inside wing would quit flying. Your only option at that point was to continue the roll or use opposite pedal to bring it back. It was very fast due to it's positive angle of incidence wings. Also it was air conditioned and pressurized to fly in a NBC environment sans gas mask.
