It doesn't carry much in the way of air to ground strike capability.

Its advantage at higher altitudes tend to be nullified at low altitude.

Its a more fragile airframe in terms of ability to take damage and be functional.

I don't see anywhere where it has air to surface missile capability so it doesn't carry a maverick package or a anti radiation missile package.
