B-11 Strikeforce gameplay: flying and dogfights
In GTA Online, B-11 Strikeforce gameplay is about tight turns rather than raw speed. The plane is slower than most jets but easy to turn. Its acceleration matches the Hydra, with a lower maximum airspeed. Under 250 meters (820 feet) it only moves at 200 kph (108 knots), and above that height it reaches 255.6 kph (137 knots). The turning circle is very tight and tighter than the Pyro, which gives it an edge in close dogfights.
- Strong air brakes let you slow down quickly without losing maneuverability.
- Holding the air brake longer than normal stops the engines from shutting down as fast.
- The engines need a little more time to spin up when you start the plane.
Strikeforce ground handling
On the ground the Strikeforce is steadier than most jets, as sharp turns do not tip it easily. It does lean backward if you rev forward after reversing at speed, or when you climb small slopes.
Weapons in play
A Gatling-type autocannon sits below the nose and resembles the GAU-8 Avenger. The wings carry two Hydra 70 barrage rocket pods on the inner pylons and six independent missiles on each of the other six pylons. You can also add bombs, and the plane has an internal bomb bay.
Cockpit and look
The cockpit uses the same “Lazer” dials as the P-996 LAZER, the Hydra and the Besra. The body is based on the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II “Warthog”.
