These rockets can also be used with a distance fuse, allowing it to detonate at a specific distance.

This is very effective against enemy armour and is rather accurate as well, allowing pilots to use the rocket CCIP to hit targets from 2-3 km away enabling pilots to keep their distance from enemy air defense. The S-24 is the final rocket the Su-7BKL gains access to, a large rocket weighing 235 kg and with more explosive mass than a 50 kg bomb. Volley fire may still be preferred as 42 rockets can be mounted, but single hits are more likely to destroy enemy armour than the smaller S-5K. These are much more substantial rockets, with a mass of 23 kg and 300 mm penetration. The next rocket is the S-3K, these are larger rockets not found in pods, instead being mounted on rails attached to the pylons. Pilots are recommended to use the large quantities of rockets to fire salvos of rockets instead of attempting to destroy targets with a single pair, as these very small rockets are unlikely to reliably do so. These rockets are very small with a mass of only 3 kg, and only 150 mm penetration from the charge. The S-5K is the first rocket pilots will unlock these are in a rocket pod, and pilots will gain access to pods of 16 or 32 rockets, with loadouts including either 96 or 160 rockets. The Su-7BKL gains access to S-5K, S-3K, and S-24 rockets in various quantities.

4 x 500 kg FAB-500M-54 bombs (2,000 kg total)Īs a strike aircraft, the Su-7BKL has access to an array of ground-focused armaments, notably lacking air-to-air missiles.

The Su-7BKL can be outfitted with the following ordnance: It is recommended to attack from above, as most enemy tanks have weak roof armour and can be more effectively penetrated from above. As the Su-7BKL is a strike fighter the guns may also be used against armoured targets the mix of AP-T with 48 mm penetration and APHE with 37 mm penetration, but 22.48 g TNTe of explosive filler will do significant damage to enemy armour. This greatly simplifies aiming, and with the 67.14 g of TNTe filler found in the HEF-I and HEFI-T shells, hits from this cannon will usually cripple or destroy enemy aircraft on the first hit. With velocity ranging from 780-785 m/s depending on the shell, this is much faster than the earlier NR-23 or N-37D found on earlier Soviet jets. The Su-7 has greater ammunition capacity than earlier MiGs with the gun, 160 rounds giving a trigger time of approximately 4.8 seconds. The Su-7BKL comes equipped with 2 x 30 mm NR-30 cannons these will be familiar to pilots which flew the preceding Su-7B, or the MiG-19PT and MiG-21F-13 in the parallel line.

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

Finally, note that the Su-7BKL can break its wings in turns exceeding 9 G's, though this G-number isn't obtainable unless the aircraft is clean and carrying less than 20 minutes of fuel. Additionally, some yaw instability occurs at medium speeds when pulling high-G turns. This may make it more difficult to get guns on target.

Its sustained turn rate at low speeds is competitive, but instantaneous turn rate and maximum angle-of-attack are both relatively low compared to its adversaries. The Su-7BKL's manoeuvrability performance is not as impressive. Given its acceleration, top speed and climb rate, few aircraft can keep up with the Su-7BKL in straight-line dashes. Given its powerful engine, the Su-7BKL has an extremely impressive climb rate of almost 200 m/s. Top speed is just over Mach 1 at lower altitude, making the Su-7BKL faster than most aircraft it faces. This means that the Su-7BKL out-accelerates almost every aircraft at its BR, with the exception of Harriers at lower speeds. The biggest advantage of the Su-7BKL is its acceleration and top speed, with a TWR above 0.8 across most flight regimes and fuel loads. The Su-7BKL has the same flight performance as the Su-7B, with excellent acceleration and climb rate, along with decent manoeuvrability.
