EDIT:Tested in High Physics, not sure how it'll perform in low and medium though I don't think it'll be affected
The ASM-110 TOW (“Tube-launched, Optically tracked, Winch-guided”) is an anti-tank missile.
A simple, wire guided missile. Now I could’ve made life easier by using Funky Trees, but I couldn’t do it.
INSTRUCTIONS
Ag.6=Launch the ASM-110
VTOL=Traverse
TRIM=Elevation
Roll+Pitch=Missile Steering
This missile requires you to fly it to its target. Make sure to elevate the launcher a bit and use pitch up a few times for the missile to not hit the ground. A light is attached to the rear so if you decide to not use the onboard camera, you can see the missile in the distance.
The winch will phase through the tube but I don’t think it’s a problem.
The winches will detach about 25 seconds after launch to make sure the missile wont drag the launcher/vehicle.
The effective range is 2.5-3 miles give or take before the missile begins to shake.
EDIT: It requires fuel, it has a 20 gallon tank and I think 5-10 gallons will suffice, so if you're gonna put it on a vehicle(like me) then make sure to have a few gallons to spare. And yes there might be other ways to make this but it is V.1 so I, or you, can improve it later on.
The detacher will launch the missile, then unfold the fins, enough time for the engines to spool up and fly the missile to its target.
Designed for my upcoming IFV, the 110 is my first attempt with a proper wire guided missile by using winches, hence, Winch Guided.

@DeathStalker627 thank you! I do hope you finish yours sometime in the future.
@UnguidedCylinder I tried to make it with rocket propulsion,it failed some how.I could at more missiles but later I decided to focus on other stuff.Your build looks great btw.
@DeathStalker627 of course I did some research on the BGM-71, and took the general dimensions from that though I didn't fully base mine off it.
@PilotTRALALA Thank you!
@DeathStalker627 it took me a few days to think of the concept, how would the winches/wires be attached, propulsion, how would it launch etc. After finalizing a design in my head I just went ahead and built it. Though I did build it one day, maybe I could've improve it if I took more time. Yours looks better actually.
Man,I spent decent amount of time making one,how you managed it to build one.
My TOW
Nice!
