  • AIM-120B: An upgraded version of the AIM-120A, featuring improved guidance and a more powerful rocket motor . It entered service in 1998.

Seems there is conflicting information on the 120B

I mean there is the Type 4 O-Ro and Type 5 O-Ro Kai but the sources on that things existence is rough at best and completely fake at worst. The only actual information is post-soviet collapse archive information from WW2 that people refer to but I can’t even find the original source but apparently it existed.

there are more official source prove that 120b is just same as a, even early 120C is almost same

That source is erroneous, the elongated +5" motor (& Small GCS, needed to maintain the Center of Gravity) were only introduced with the Lot 12 (-120C-5) production run.

The difference between the AIM-120A and -120B is that the latter uses an Electronically Reprogrammable GCS section, so doesn’t need to undergo a deep maintenance cycle to update the Software that it runs. And as such there are later revisions of the -120A that are equivalent to the -120B at various stages.

The main change was the introduction of Clipped wings & fins for internal carriage on the F-22.

The only different they could add to the AIM-120B in game is improved ECM and better tracking rates due to later software upgrades but that’s about it.

I would take better resistance to a single puff of chaff

I WANT IT TODAY!

when updata come?
most likely tommorow or tursday?

The C-1 has clipped wings, giving it slightly less mobility, and I read that it also has a slighter more powerful engine.

Both, neither, and all three.

improved comtrol may make it up.

Equipment with such as AN/APG-73 RUG I radar, AN/AAS-38B pod, IR AIM-9L & AIM-9M-8, SARH AIM-7P Blk II, AIM-120 AMRAAM (AIM-120B/AIM-120C-4/AIM-120C-5), AGM-65E & AGM-65F Maverick and AGM-154A JSOW. My guess

USMC F/A-18C+ or F/A-18C late (AN/APG-73 RUG II or AN/APG-79(V)4 AESA) ?

It’s impossible for the update to be today, as there still isn’t a technical post

Gaijin - releases 1 vehicle just to prove wrong

A man can dream.

Real but in my humble opinion we should not buff the AIM-120 :3

Instead, the PL-12 should be buffed to somewhere between the AIM-120C-1 and C-5 level, the AAM-4 should be buffed to C-5 level, and the Derby, R-Darter, and MICA EM should get less drag.
