Holy shit this new hud is useful:
You can see EVERYTHING even where your missile is and how much distance is still needs and which target it currently chases

The thermals may be a bug, or simply they haven’t gotten around to implementing thermals on the sight view yet.
For every radar without TWS (like your flarakrad), selecting the target only slews the azimuth. You can however lock (if you have a tracking radar, I think) using the target lock button. You can hover and click the things in the control panel under the radar screen, that’s also how you can fire your missile.
For Pantsir, since it has a tracking radar with TWS, it works much better. As well as of course all the new SAMs with TWS on their search radars.

Thanks for the info, do you have the pantsir to show how this system works with it and how it looks?
Did you include the screenshots taken with game screenshot tool, log and replay files from the match? Try to take a few screenshots within the game after it fails to intercept munition and within the replay system i assume they have some sort of debugging info embedded within the screenshot itself.
i did, everything should be as they want it
so pantsir wasn’t saclos?
It is SACLOS, but you can let it automatically guide if you switch to another target with the tracking radar TWS. I don’t think it’s as good as fire and forget, especially since it’s still vulnerable to radar (TWS) jankiness.

so is this new radar control screen gonna be available to vehicles like ozelot flakrakpz osa-ak and gepard?
probably to anything that has a radar
Looks to be the case from today’s datamine.
so ozelot looks like not in list
Ozelot technically isn’t a radar. If I remember correctly it is some sort of IRST system that scans the sky.
“Hey uhh, a lot of radar spaa received the spaa menu.
But stuff like the FlaRakPz and FlaRakRad and OSA-AKM still lack the automatic guidance mode that the pantsir has.
Simply put, a missile target intercept guidance mode.”

It does work on ozelot as well, it just needs a bit of fiddling around.
You select a target and press the lock button and the sight will look at it, then you can turn the seeker on and fire, but it won’t auto lead or anything like that.
we got AA that can’t intercept munition, what a cinema

Looks like the radar menu got bug fixes, can now shoot with left mouse btn and also click on targets. It would seem however the own missle tracking is a bit borked.
If I remember correctly, the Asrad has auto guidance as well

Automatic guidance only exists for ESA radar carriers. As such, they do not have it. Because it essentially is TWS + automatic lead mode. The other missiles all have LEAD mode, however as they can’t track to TWS they can’t target multiple targets at the same time.
