Survivability and armour

Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.

Armaments

Offensive armament

The F11F-1 is armed with:

• 4 x 20 mm Browning-Colt Mk12 Mod 0 cannons, nose-mounted (125 rpg = 500 total)

Suspended armament

The F11F-1 can be outfitted with the following ordnance:

• Without load
• 4 x 500 lb LDGP Mk 82 bombs (2,000 lb total)
• 2 x 1,000 lb LDGP Mk 83 bombs (2,000 lb total)
• 28 x FFAR Mighty Mouse rockets
• 38 x FFAR Mighty Mouse rockets

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

• Great top speed for its BR
• Has access to 4 AIM-9B sidewinder missiles
• Decent suspended payload options
• Decent armament

Cons:

• No takeoff/combat flaps, only landing flaps
• Bad turn time
• Loses a lot of speed in turns
• Needs a lot of runway to land
• Can rip wings at high speeds
• Astronomical high repair cost
• Weak structural integrity
• Easily set on fire

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
