8 Target Air-to-Air Missile

The 8 Target Air-to-Air Missile (abbreviated as 8AAM) is a missile-type air-to-air special weapon. It was introduced in Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown. It's a weapon with very high ammo capacity, capable of targetting and attacking 8 targets simultaneously, making it effective against large groups of enemies. However it suffers from poor homing which makes more mobile targets difficult to hit. Multiple missiles can lock-on a single target when less than 8 enemies are targeted.
