Guys! What's the difference between AIM-120B and AIM-120C?

Thanks for your help.

When you start the DCS go to Encyclopedia and you get all the Info you need on everything in DCS.

The C has smaller fins compared to the B-Variant to be carried in interior bays like for example in the F-22.
Also the C-Variants have gotten several upgrades over the years, although i don´t remember which Version of the C we got in DCS. Details can be found in the encyclopedia i guess.

Both are overpower, game-breaking pieces of ♥♥♥♥.

no such thing as overpowered in a game like this (unless it is the radar of the f-16)

The most noticeable difference you'll see in game is that the C has more legs.

Definitely Charlie 5's.

That of course means that if I ask around, no subject matter expert will ever tell me they are underpowered, yes?

You sound like a Flanker pilot...

The C-variant has longer range. The B-variant supposedly has slightly better maneuverability (the larger fins allow for more force applied in changing direction). However, speed also affects maneuverability and the C-variant is going to maintain its speed longer to reach those ranges, so who can guess where in the engagement envelope the B might have better probability-of-kill than the C?

I say carry C's if you have access to them (some missions could have payload restrictions).

Simulator does not mean competitive. Things are not made to be balanced. Things are made to be realistic. In June 2020 was announced the research of missile flight dynamics. See: https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/236819-aim-120-development/
