Armaments

Offensive armament

Weapon 13 x 23 mm NS-23 cannon
Ammunition225 rounds
Fire rate600 shots/min
Main article: NS-23 (23 mm)

The La-11 (China) is armed with:

  • 3 x 23 mm NS-23 cannons, nose-mounted (75 rpg = 225 total)

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

Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

Pros:

  • Nose-mounted guns are easy to aim, providing highly concentrated thus deadly fire
  • Guns are not all fired at once, allowing for good ammo conservation
  • High rate of fire and great 1-second burst mass make short bursts very lethal. Suitable for deflection shots
  • Admirable low-altitude performance below 4000m
  • Light grey paint scheme is effective at hiding within clouds or close to a foggy ground
  • Fantastic rear view with minimal obstructions
  • Has a gyro gunsight

Cons:

  • Low ammo count (75 rounds/gun) requires strict trigger discipline and limits its fighting time
  • Performance worsens above 4000m, making it vulnerable to high-alt fighters like Bf 109 G
  • Extremely inadequate forward visibility due to the long nose and low gunsight mount. Can lead to the player losing track of the target
  • No suspended weapons like bombs, limiting its roles to air superiority fighting only

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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.

  • links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
