Semi-Active Air-to-Air Missile

A SAAM, or Semi Active Air to Air Missle, is a long range missle found in most Ace Combat games. A circle appears when the player selects it. The missle itself uses a unique tracking system: as long as the player can keep his/ her target within the circle, the missle will track it. The SAAM is usually a deadly weapon, capable of one shot kills on most difficulties.
