On May 14th 1953, shortly after Stalin's death and the reopening of the Sukhoi OKB, they began work on a swept-wing front-line fighter. Their first prototype was named '''S-1''' and was fitted with the all-new Lyulka AL-7 turbojet. It was the first Soviet aircraft to utilize the all-moving tailplane and a translating centerbody, plus a dramatic wing sweep of 60°, irreversible hydraulically boosted controls, and an ejection seat of Sukhoi's own design. After the success of the S-1, production began with the S-2. later renamed the '''Su-7'''.

The Su-7B is a rank VI Soviet jet fighter with a battle rating of 9.3 (AB/RB) and 9.7 (SB). It was introduced in Update "Starfighters".

General info

Flight performance

Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.

  • 8 mm steel - cockpit front bulkhead
  • 102 mm Bulletproof glass - Armoured windscreen

Armaments

Offensive armament

Main article: NR-30 (30 mm)

The Su-7B is armed with:

  • 2 x 30 mm NR-30 cannons, wing-mounted (80 rpg = 160 total)

Suspended armament

Main articles: OFAB-250sv (250 kg), FAB-500M-54 (500 kg), S-3K, S-5K, S-24

The Su-7B can be outfitted with the following ordnance:

  • Without load
  • 64 x S-5K rockets
  • 4 x S-24 rockets
  • 28 x S-3K rockets
  • 4 x 250 kg OFAB-250sv bombs (1,000 kg total)
  • 4 x 500 kg FAB-500M-54 bombs (2,000 kg 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).

Tier Flight performance Survivability Weaponry
I Fuselage repair Compressor Offensive 30 mm UB-16
II New boosters Airframe FAB-250 S-3K

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • One of the fastest planes at its battle rating
  • Very fast acceleration
  • With S-24 rockets you can win every head-on
  • Able to zoom climb up to 8,000 m
  • 2 x 30 mm cannons are very powerful with Armored targets belt
  • Decent energy retention

Cons:

  • Huge plane and very fragile
  • Underwhelming manoeuvrability
  • Very unstable
  • Below average roll rate

History

On May 14th 1953, shortly after Stalin's death and the reopening of the Sukhoi OKB, they began work on a swept-wing front-line fighter. Their first prototype was named S-1 and was fitted with the all-new Lyulka AL-7 turbojet. It was the first Soviet aircraft to utilize the all-moving tailplane and a translating centerbody, plus a dramatic wing sweep of 60°, irreversible hydraulically boosted controls, and an ejection seat of Sukhoi's own design.
