The High-Capacity Air-to-Air Missile (HCAA) is a special air-to-air weapon. It first appeared in Ace Combat Infinity, and was later included in Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown.

Overview[]

An HCAA missile takes the shape of a medium range air-to-air missile the aircraft is compatible with, with a blue tip. Like the other similar missiles, HCAA can only be fired in salvos of two.

The HCAA is unique in having a fast reload speed and higher ammo than other missile-type special weapons, with a slightly lower damage output to compensate. It maintains similar speed and homing to standard missiles.

The HCAA for most American and European aircrafts is the AIM-120 AMRAAM, Vympel R-77 (AA-12 Adder) for Russian aircraft, AAM-4 for Japanese aircraft and MBDA MICA for French aircraft.
