Yes, I'm replying to an old post, but at least I know what 3/4ths of these weapons do.

The HPAA, HCAA, and HVAA are all dedicated anti-air missiles, but they have different properties. The HPAA is a strong missile that can do lots of damage, if not OHK, aircraft, the HVAA is a fast misslie that is the fastest of all anti-air missiles, and the HCAA has a lot of ammo to spare.

As for the ESM, I never really got to use it, but I would assume that the ESM is like in Ace Combat 6, where it provides a buff to your buddies (better missile homing, for example).
