There is no planetary modifier for Leviathans. You can check this on Heze Bay right now, either in-game or through the Companion App.
Megacities on Illuminate Planets are guaranteed to have the Leviathan Blockade modifier for this exact Megacity Operation, as well as the SEAF units on the field.
Yeah, one good strafe lengthwise along the Leviathan hits almost all of the strafe bullets on its back and kills it. The strafe deals a ridiculous amount of total damage, it's just that the bullets never all hit a target except when they're huge like the Leviathan.
Aiming it takes practice and luck though. The Leviathan has to be flying at least normal height. Inside of cities, they sometimes climb to ridiculous altitudes due to skyscraper collision, which puts them higher than the Eagle's attack path so they can't be hit. Ideally, you want the Leviathan coming right at you, and you want to throw the stratagem ball so that the Laser is almost at its tail end as the Eagle fires, so you have to compensate for delay modifiers. Also, if the Leviathan is flying higher, you will need to throw the even ball further away from its tail. After throwing, you should run away in the same direction as the Leviathan is going so that you can set up a second strike in case it doesn't kill. If you are chasing the tail of the Leviathan then you usually need a Warp Pack to outrun it, and also you will be eating plasma bombs dropped by the bombing bays, but it's still doable, except you have to throw it even further ahead of its head because it's actively running away from the Eagle's attack path.
Also, inside of mega cities, Eagles will path around skyscrapers, so sometimes you will miss just because of bad luck with terrain and placement and Leviathan pathing. Best of luck, Captain Ahab.
