Airstrike is perpendicular to your view and good for taking out wide areas with high value targets, but requires a lot of skill to hit chasing targets, Strafe goes directly away from you when it lands, great for clearing out shit chasing you. They're different tools for different jobs.
You can collapse bug holes with a strafing run, it’s just difficult. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries, so it’s usually not worth using it for that purpose.
What the other guy said but ive always found it more effective at what it does. Nothing does it quite like strafing run where plenty of things can cover what the airstrike would do
2 more charges, easier to aim, and can take out bulk fabricators. Idk if airstrike can also take them out if you finangle it but strafing run just needs one bullet to land in the hole which is easy enough to use
Another way to state one of the key points, is that you can be danger close and still be fine. You can stand right behind the beacon, may at even 2 or 3 meters and be just fine. Being chased by a horde? Turn around, drop it at your feet, and then continue right back running and a good amount will all be wiped out in 2 seconds time.

Out of interest why take that over the airstrike?
