Description
The V-11 is a rank I Chinese strike aircraft with a battle rating of 1.3 (AB/RB) and 1.7 (SB). It was introduced in Update "Hot Tracks".
General info
Flight performance
Despite its large size, the V-11 is decent at turning although it is outshone by the many biplanes it faces. The acceleration and climb of this aircraft is poor, and is usually an easy prey for any interested fighter. With the use of landing flaps, the plane can enter speeds as low as 120 km/h without stalling, which can be used to stall trap potential enemies.

Survivability and armour
- No armour plates
- Self-sealing fuel tanks (2 under pilot, 1 behind pilot, 2 in each wing)
- Modules are centrally located
Modifications and economy
Armaments
Offensive armament
The V-11 is armed with:
- 4 x 7.62 mm Browning machine guns, wing-mounted (600 rpg = 2,400 total)
Suspended armament
The V-11 can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- Without load
- 2 x 250 lb AN-M57 bombs (500 lb total)
- 1 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bomb (500 lb total)
Defensive armament
The V-11 is defended by:
- 1 x 7.62 mm Browning machine gun, dorsal turret (500 rpg)
Usage in battles
Realistic Battles
As with all strike aircraft, the V-11 gets an attacker air spawn. This should be used to avoid any confrontations. The speed and climb of this plane is poor, keeping altitude is important in order to avoid enemy fighters. Wait for friendly fighters to arrive to the scene before deciding to engage ground targets. Bombs can be used to damage bases or to destroy light pillboxes.
You can also use this aircraft to catch out any unwary enemy fighters. The 4 x 7.62 mm Browning Machine guns]] are adequate at taking down enemy aircraft. Only engage if you have an altitude advantage as fleeing in this slow aircraft may be difficult. Some fighters such as the Bf 109 B can be outmanoeuvred, using the combat flaps. However, it is recommended to try to preserve your speed unless the area is clear of any potential enemies.

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Rather powerful bombload of one 500 lb bomb or two 250 lb bombs for the battle rating
- 4 x 7.62 mm MG is decent firepower for the battle rating, allowing it to effectively damage/destroy aircraft if needed
- Great over-the-nose visibility makes leading very easy in Simulator
- Engine does not overheat quickly
- Has a rear gunner with a 7.62 mm MG for self-defence
- Decent turn when combat flaps are used
Cons:
- Extremely poor speed for a monoplane, cannot even catch I-16s quickly
- Poor roll rate
- Very slow energy retention
- Is quite a big target
- Does not have any armour protection
- Does not have reflector gunsight, meaning you cannot move the pilot's head in Simulator or the reticle will not align
- Overall aircraft responds slowly to aiming adjustments, making it hard to put a solid burst into a manoeuvring target
- Bombload is quite poor for an aircraft of its size and role, the Hawk III carries the same payload while being a lightweight biplane
- Prone to wing overload
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).
