The Su-7B was developed as a new type of ground support aircraft, a fighter-bomber. We introduce a new strike aircraft for the USSR, the first jet vehicle in the glorious Sukhoi attack aircraft family!
Su-7B, attack fighter, USSR, VI rank
Pros
- Good horizontal flight speed
- A variety of mounted weapons
Cons
- Mediocre controllability
- No guided weapons
With the development of jet aviation, piston-engined attack aircraft quickly became an anachronism; a need arose for a new class of front-line aircraft - a fighter bomber. In the USSR, the MiG-15 and MiG-17 fighter jets were used to replace the piston-engined IL-10 to support the ground forces from the air, but it was quite obvious that a specialized machine was needed to fulfill the tasks of the fighter-bomber. The most suitable candidate was the Sukhoi Su-7 fighter jet, taken as the basis for the Su-7B fighter-bomber project. By the end of 1958, the first prototype was ready with the new AL-7F-1 engine. For almost two years, the aircraft underwent intensive testing and refinement, and in 1960 the new fighter-bomber went into mass production. Of the 431 planned, 344 Su-7Bs were built to equip up to 25 combat units. From the beginning of the 70’s, the Su-7B aircraft began to be replaced with more modern modifications and models.
In our game, the Su-7B will appear in the next update of War Thunder: Starfighters at rank VI in the USSR combat aviation tech tree. With this model we begin the addition of the Sukhoi attack aircraft to the game, well-known combat machines that took part in a number of armed conflicts of modern times.
The Su-7B is a supersonic attack aircraft, capable to quite effectively support ground forces in mixed battles, destroy enemy helicopters, but devoid of air-to-air guided missiles to battle the fighter-interceptors. The Su-7B reaches a maximum speed of almost Mach 2 (more than 2150 km / h), but the Su-7B has obvious problems with maneuvering at high speeds. The offensive armament of the aircraft is a pair of 30mm NR-30 cannons with a stock of 80 shells per barrel. These are well suited for the destruction of helicopters or even light vehicles - SPAAGs, IFVs, or ATGM carriers.
Mounted weapons are what is definitely worth developing in this aircraft. The overall payload is relatively small - up to 2 tons, but the armament is quite diverse. There are bombs in the presets of 4x250 kg and 4x500 kg, S5K rockets in containers (64 in total), and new to the game, S-3K armor-piercing high explosive rockets (28 at once), as well as huge S-24 rockets (4 rockets maximum). This aircraft was designed to inflict quite a lot of damage at high speed on one or two targets in one fire raid. Hit, climb, hide from anti-aircraft guns - hit again!
In general, the Su-7B is a very good aircraft for combined battles or ground attack missions at the high ranks of aviation game modes. It is not perfect, but has its own useful and distinctive role in the game. The Su-7B will appear in our hangars with the release of the next update of War Thunder: Starfighters very soon. See you there!

Ok i don't want to be mr complain but come on Russia has no Cas even close to other countries like the us in the game and this planes doesn't even has agms !!!! when almost every us "fighter jet" and g91s and all those do. I mean how is this even better than the mig-21 at ground striking a few more rockets but no aams so just death? I honestly think the su-7bkl would have been a much better fit as it had aams and agms like most normal top tier CAS have but you know what do i know, tis an opinion
nice to see that attackers are still thing in WT
Is the F35C coming this update? Yes or no
Jokes aside, very nice update kinda made me tear up
Its been in the game for some time, you can find the (F-86)F-35 in the US premium tree ))))
What about its kh-25's? Air to ground missles? And air to air? Also since it could carry a nuke would It get a 5000kg bomb of the pe 8 and the boosters?
Isn't the Su7B supposed to have 6 S24's?
WHOOO FINALLY SOME RUSSIAN CAS! This line opens so many options for Russia. Cannot wait for the Su17 or Su7BKL!
Russian CAS is good but its not good as US CAS. most of US planes where designed to CAS and thats why they are so good in mixed battles
netanelyat, Это не ваши CAS хороши, а улитка лижет жопу западному сегменту игроков. It's not your CAS that's good, but the snail is licking the ass of the Western segment of players.
what could be expect in term of avionics ? because on the first devserver it get radar , CCIP and RWR and on the second devserver it get CCIP and RWR but no radar
Factually Su-7B should not have CCIP ( i believe it had RWR but not 100% positive ) . If they give it CCIP then they should rename it BKL and give it AGMs
Raldi92, It did have CCIP. It has a calculating gunsight that also works for rockets.
Still obsolete CAS compared to what others get , still not AGM ........ tell me more about that new doctrine ..... all i see is same old same old !
When T-90???????????????????????????????
When Germany gets Leopard 2A7 then you have to wait for another 2 or 3 patches so the US can get M1A2SepV3 then only then you have to wait a full year and get a T-90 ( not T-90A just T-90 ) BECAUSE BALANCE BRUV !!!
Raldi92, Не просто так на 1 апреля Т-90 тестили вместе с Леопард 2А5. Т-90 должны были ввести вместе с Леопард 2А5. Ты признаёшь что Т-90 сильнее М1А2 Абрамс? For a reason, on April 1, the T-90 was tested together with the Leopard 2A5. the T-90 was supposed to be introduced together with the Leopard 2A5. You admit that the T-90 is stronger than THE M1A2 Abrams?
T-14 Armata, Gaijin! Pretty please?
too advanced
already obsolete bro
