4 Target Air-to-Ground Missile

From Ace Combat Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The 4 Target Air-to-Ground Missile (4AGM), known as Advanced Air-to-Ground Missile (XAGM) before Assault Horizon, is a common special weapon in the Ace Combat series. The weapon is a set of missiles that can lock onto a maximum of four distinct ground targets simultaneously and are more powerful than standard missiles and have a longer firing range. They fly to a pre-designated altitude above their targets before diving onto them, thus they are able to destroy targets behind cover. However, an aircraft can only carry a very small supply of them and their reload time is longer than standard missiles.

In most cases, the 4AGM's model is based on the AGM-65 Maverick. Some NATO aircraft use the AS-30 model, 4AGM model for the AH-64D Apache Longbow is the AGM-114 Hellfire, and Russian aircraft use the Kh-29 model.

"An air-to-ground missile that can lock on to and attack up to four targets simultaneously.
It is also possible to fire up to four missiles in succession against a single target to cause major damage.
It also has a comparatively long effective range, making it a valuable air-to-ground weapon against scattered ground targets that a single bomb cannot clear out."

Trivia

  • Although Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy and its re-release were released after Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, it uses the older XAGM name, most likely to stay in line with the Advanced Short-Range Air-to-Air Missile.
