-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was one of the earliest attacker aircraft of NRAAF (Nationalist Air Force) before the 2nd Sino-Japanese War; the Vultee Aircraft Inc. designed an "airliner", V-1 for US domestic markets, however, the new regulations on airliners put an full stop for any further production of this airframe at only 25 aircrafts. Meanwhile USAAF bought a few aircrafts and converted them under the name YA-19, which proved to be inferior than its twin-engine competitors and only used at Panama. For countries that were in dire need for new attack aircrafts, namely China; the Nationalist government bought 30 aircrafts and planned to assemble most of them in China Proper at Zhejiang or Guangdong, although they were flew by mercenary pilots and having minor results during the early days of war to bombard Japanese-occupied infrastructures, due to the worsening of war and crashes after retreat, they were soon decommissioned by 1940.

-Introduced in [[Update "Hot Tracks"]] as one of the Vultee V-1 variants introduced to Chinese tech tree, although V-11 has rather large size at its tier and less than desired firepower, the aircraft can sometimes surprise enemy aircrafts, sometimes even biplanes with its somewhat decent turning radius; while the bomb options can still ensure a kill against ground targets and serve as a good trainer aircraft for attackers.

-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. Don't expect to outrun any monoplane fighters or more powerful biplanes as the plane is somewhat underpowered, with poor cruising capabilities compared to comparable aircraft, comparable to the likes of a stock Ju 87 B-2. 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.

 You can also use this aircraft to catch out any unwary enemy fighters. The 4 x 7.62 mm Browning machine guns are adequate to take 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-1|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.
-Try not to engage in head-ons or tailing any aircraft with rear gunners, as your engine is already underpowered, meaning that any damage to the engine will really, really hurt. Use deflection shooting and avoid air-to-air combat if it can be helped.

-The presence of one Browning .30 cal in the rear will help to ward off some would be attackers, but it is fairly weak without luck or proper aim. Fire in controlled bursts to prevent overheating the gun and locking it in a reload state, disabling your only rear defense for ~20 seconds. The gun lacks any gun depression over the rear, so if necessary nose up and to one side at a 10 degree angle to clear the gun from the tail and fuselage.

 Although the Vultee V-11 wasn't the most renowned aircraft in the World War 2, the history of this aircraft can trace back onto an airliner, surprisingly, the Vultee V-1.
-The ill-fated V-1 has only 25 of them built due to the strict regulations from the Bureau of Air Commerce on single-engine airliner, albeit its rather good handling; the aircraft was then converted into series of 2-seater attackers with variants such as a floatplane version. The USAAF bought a few of them, reinforced its airframe and used them for evaluation as the YA-19, which proved to be inferior to twin-engine attackers and thus these aircrafts were soon transferred to the Panama. In the mean time, V-11s that were based on the reinforced YA-19 were sold to 4 other countries: Brazil, Turkey, USSR and the Republic of China.

 The newly reorganized Republic of China Air Force was in need for attackers in view to modernize the air force, an order of 30 V-11Gs was placed in 1935 and 29 of them would be assembled in China by the Central Aircraft Manufacturing Company (中央杭州飛機製造廠 at Hangzhou, Zhejiang; currently PLAAF Jianqiao Airbase) or by Shiuchow Aircraft Manufacturing Factory (韶關飛機製造廠 at Shaoguan, Guangdong); these aircrafts were handed to the "International Regiment 國際中隊" during the 2nd Sino-Japanese War for operation and was first used to bomb the then occupied Japanese airfield at Bengbu, Shandong (山東蚌埠) in early February, 1938; later in the same month, the regiment bombed train stations and airfield occupied by the Japanese forces again; both attack runs have no recorded losses.

 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. Use your 4 [[Browning (7.62 mm)|7.62 mm Browning Machine]] guns to take out any climbing enemies.
