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.

Survivability and armour

  • 20 mm Aluminium Alloy - pilot's headrest
  • 36 mm Aluminium Alloy - pilot's backrest
  • 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, -mounted (80 rpg = 160 total)

Suspended armament

Main articles: OFAB-250-270 (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-250-270 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).

Modules

Tier Flight performance Survivability Weaponry
I Fuselage repair Compressor Offensive 30 mm UB-16
II New boosters Airframe FAB-250 S-3K
III Wings Repair New 30 mm cannons C-24
IV G-suit Engine Cover FAB-500

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

Cons:

  • Very bad energy retention
  • Huge plane and very fragile
  • Poor manoeuvrability, you will have problems dodging air-to-air missiles
  • 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. After the success of the S-1, production began with the S-2. later renamed the Su-7.

Later, on 31 July 1958, the Soviet Tactical Aviation tasked Sukhoi with developing a ground-attack variant of the Su-7, which could replace the scrapped Ilyushin IL-10. The resulting prototype, S-22, incorporated structural refinements for high-speed, low-altitude operations. It first flew in March 1959 and entered service in 1961 as the Su-7B.

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
