I could be wrong, but I believe no versions of the Hellfire are wire
guided; all versions home in on a laser spot provided by a designator.

TOW, definitely that's what the "W" stands for.


And TOW's rocket exhaust doesn't come straight out the back, judging by
the pictures I've seen. Two nozzles, one on each side, firing outwards at
an angle of maybe as much as 30 degrees.
