There is no evidence shows that Super Étendards have ever loaded GBU-8B, it's only my personal decision.

The bomb is a improved version of my former GBU-8/B TV-guidence bomb, using same principle of Gyroscope Controling System. But I did some adjust to give it better performance

AG1: arresting hook
AG2: parachute
AG3: drop bomb and fuel tank
AG6: lights
AG7: gyroscope(to remain steady when aircraft control is disabled)
AG8: aircraft control

I viewed many images of Super Étendard, and found that its catapult connector is not a part of front gear, it is on a rope or a bar which is connected to the middle stage of the lower body.
Use AG5+VTOL down to deploy the connector, AG5+VTOL up to fold wingtips(That means you have to deploy wingtips first before deploy catapult connector, of course you should do so in the real world)
