	The '''SGM-H-2 Cyclone''', commonly referred to as an "S2H", is the most common missile in most ANS missile fleet archetypes. They provide very good PD penetration, which more than makes up for their increased cost over the non-hybrid SGM-2.		The '''SGM-H-2 Cyclone''', commonly referred to as an "S2H", is the most common missile in most ANS missile fleet archetypes. They provide very good PD penetration, which more than makes up for their increased cost over the non-hybrid SGM-2.

	Like it's larger cousin the [[SGM-H-3 Atlatl]], the S2H has access to several unique designs enabled by the extremely high speed of hybrids, particularly the HEKP warhead and TTGI tunings. Compared to the S3H, the S2H can be carried in greater numbers due to the VLS-2 being more space-efficient than the VLS-3, meaning a VLS-2 fully loaded with S2H can bring a greater punch (for an accordingly higher price) than the same mount equipped with a VLS-3 loaded with S3H. This leads most ANS missile archetypes to use medium investment S2H paired with high investment S3H, though some fleet archetypes do go all-in on either S2H or S3H.

A reject seeker such as ACTr/[CMD] aims at a 50 km veer-off point and does not stage from jamming even if every validator is jammed

	Staging behavior can be tuned to cause the missile to wobble after staging, generally called the "min-angle trick" due to using quirks with the minimum angle setting on direct missiles. This allows direct hybrids to get the effects of weave terminals without needing to pay for it.

	Anti-ship warheads can be HE Shaped or HEKP depending on desired price. HE Shaped is more points efficient, while HEKP is able to [[Component Damage#Damage Threshold\|DT break]] and can deliver large amounts of damage much quicker. This incentivizes initial salvos of HE Shaped missiles to bring components down to low HP, followed by HEKP missiles to grey the components. The warhead mix across an entire fleet is generally ''at most'' 1 HEKP for every 1 HE Shaped, and most cruise missile fleets run closer to 1 HEKP for every 2 HE Shaped.

The warhead mix across an entire fleet is generally ''at most'' 1 HEKP for every 1 HE Shaped, and most cruise missile fleets run closer to 1 HEKP for every 2 HE Shaped.

	Anti-craft warheads are almost always HE Shaped using the ADASH tuning. HE Frag is almost never used as it struggles to kill more than one target, thus giving little benefit while not providing the dual-purpose role of ADASH. In contrast HE Frag [[~~SGM~~-2]] and S3H can kill multiple targets, so those are preferred when multi-kill is desired.		Anti-craft warheads are almost always HE Shaped using the ADASH tuning. HE Frag is almost never used because a max-size S2H blast-frag warhead does about 134.6 damage, just under a bomber's 135 HP, so it cannot destroy a bomber in one detonation. It likewise struggles to kill more than one target, unlike HE-Frag S3H ACMs, thus giving little benefit while not providing the dual-purpose role of ADASH. In contrast HE Frag [[Munition:sgm-2-temptest#Anti-Craft_Missiles\|S2s]] and S3H can kill multiple targets, so those are preferred when multi-kill is desired.
