That is correct, the AIM-120C-5 has gone through several upgrades which include enhancements in propulsion, aerodynamics and control surfaces meaning that it is more manoeuvrable than its predecessors being the AIM-120A/B this allows the AIM-120C-5 to be more agile and hit targets that are manoeuvring with a higher success rate so its maximum G overload should be around 40Gs.
I edited the post.
The Aim-120C5 and newer version are now noted as 40G.
I initialy though that since they had smaller aileron and i didn’t see anything about better aoa or anything, the maneuvrability was reduced from the 1/B version but it seems like i was wrong.
Itd be nice if they finally fixed some of the issues with the AIM-54C now that theyre adding the other fox 3’s, but that doesnt look likely.

From some reading I had done, the AIM-120Cs had smaller fins but improvements allowed for it to retain the manueverability and not lose it. Not that it had been improved.
…
Just why…
and mica with derby still have old LOFT codes,…
AIM-120B & Rb 99 in dev server placeholder like AIM-120A
Hopefully gajin improve AIM-120B and Rb 99 better AIM-120A 4% or 6%
If the AIM-120B was better then the AIM-120A Gaijin would be giving it to the US instead of the AIM-120A.
The AIM-120B basically has the same issue as the AIM-7M i.e. gameplay wise it is the exact same as the AIM-120A.
Why do you mean by that?
All i ever read about the B upgrade is the EPROM module (which has no impact ingame) and a bit better energy managment (PID control twiking).
What are you talking about the 4/6%
Why I have a hunch that in dev server AIM-120B and Rb 99 it AIM-120A placeholder. Or I got the wrong idea
For AIM-120A & AIM-120B, I feel look like AIM-7F & AIM-7M Sparrow
Currently, datawise, the AIM-120B /RB-99 has exactly the same values as the AIM-120A.
The only thing they could change is to change the PID to make the missile lead less to save energy on long range shot.
Apart from that there is nothing to change in game to differentiate the B and the A
Why I feel like AIM-7F & AIM-7M Sparrow. But in game AIM-7F same characteristics as AIM-7M ?
Dayum, they got the phoenix lofting guidance treatment. Sparrows would now be considerably better at longer ranges rather than just marginally better.

Derby still trying to track the sun like it’s a early Aim-9B lmfao
It is my understanding that most ARHs were using MICA’s loft code. MICA’s loft code was obtained by making it configured to vertical launch configurations and then applied to other missiles, which is not realistic.
The current loft code is more realistic and in line with British document it appears.
Worth noting that the AIM-120 is still underperforming compared to the British documents.

British documents aren’t super trustworthy imo, likely falsified on purpose. These are also probably where the Russians got their absurd estimates for AIM-120A.
ALERT a new MIG23 bad take
