The AF-2S (on display here) was the "killer" equipped with up to 4,000 pounds of munitions including depth charges, bombs or a homing torpedo in its bomb bay, plus high-velocity rockets on under-wing pylons. The AF-2W version was the "hunter" carrying a large ventral radar to seek out targets from long distances.
