The 4 Target Air-to-Air Missile (4 Target Multi-Lock Air-to-Air Missile in Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, often shortened to 4AAM) is a missile-type air-to-air special weapon. The 4AAM has a moderate range - longer than standard missiles, but shorter than Semi-Active Air-to-Air Missiles.
The 4AAM's destructive power is dependent on the game. In Assault Horizon, 4AAMs deal about double the damage of standard missiles, but in Ace Combat Infinity, they deal about half the damage of standard missiles. The ammo count is also dependent on the game; in Assault Horizon, carrying, for example, 30 4AAMs means that the player actually carries 30 salvos of 4AAMs (thereby carrying 120 individual missiles), whereas in Infinity, carrying 30 4AAMs means that the player carries 30 individual 4AAMs. The missiles fire in full salvos in Assault Horizon, but one-by-one in Infinity unless multiple ones are locked on.
In Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, the 4AAM for American and European aircraft is based off of the AIM-120 AMRAAM. Meanwhile, the 4AAM for Russian aircraft is based off of the R-77 (also known as AA-12 "Adder").
