Yep
Tail controlled and uses a lift body, that allows for a 50G pull without the need for TVC.

What’s a “lift body”? I’ve seen the ASRAAM and it looks like the normal SRAAM but bigger and more aerodynamic.
The missile itself acts like a “wing”

In aerodynamics, to calculate the resulting aerodynamic force you use a reference surface which depend on aerodynamic body.
Resulting aerodynamic force
- For lifting bodies (ie aircraft) you take wing platform area
Wing platform area
- For slender body (missile, rocket, ammunition) you take the body cross section
Body cross section
- For bluff bodies (car/ train) you take the frontal area.
Frontal area
Since the formula of the resulting aerodynamic force is:
Force= 1/2* air pressure around the object * (speed around the object)^2 (=speed of the object)* Reference surface * Aerodynamic shape efficiency (depend of the Mach number, the Reynold number, the shape of the object and the angle of attack).
Anyways the having a lifing body mean that it uses it’s body as a reference surface which GREATLY increase it’s lift which mean it can achieve greater range.

Yes the TIALD pod was fitted to a buccaneer for testing.

What do you mean?
Oh, that.
So would that come with the S.2B or will we just get the Pave Spike?
That will be up to Gaijin
Whats up?
The pre-war 500lb bombs with the explosive load of the American 250lb bombs. They just gave the 500lb M.C bombs to the Beau’s but not anything else.
After further research it seems that the Wyvern also got the M.C bombs.
The Shackleton has the 500lb Mk.II bombs so I don’t see why the Sea Hawk shouldn’t.
After 30 more seconds of searching
If you’ve got any sources for it you can report it and I’ll forward it.
Do I need a source that states that the replacement for the Attacker wouldn’t have the same bomb that it could carry?
A manual showing the available stores for both would be enough.
The challenger 2 is the most armoured MBT… in the WORLD!.. Source ? Jeremy Clarkson. plez fix Gaijin XD
In general you can look at the straight sided shape of the bombs even with the old tail kit plus the fact they have suspension lugs on both sides, and see they’re MC 500lbers, not the teardrop-shaped GP
AFAIK the ingame 500lber that equips early-post-war jets like the Attacker is modelled with a finned tail unit though (like the modern 540lber has)
Closest I’ve seen to that is one on the ground next to a sea hawk
Visible on the ground on the right good enough for one with the post-war tail?
That said, there’s pics of Wyverns in Suez with 1000lb-ers having finned tail units, so might be appropriate
Ed:- added some pics of the Wyverns carrying 1000lb bombs with No.107 type tails
