I am mostly confused why, with modern anti air systems, we still have to guide the missile ourselves (at least for single targets). Most systems should be more in line with how radar missiles work in air rb yet we still have to manually keep our sight on the enemy plane. Is it for like balancing reasons or why is it that why? If I misunderstood something please explain.

Thats pretty much it. Gaijin want the players to have to do something other than press a button.
It also helps balance the vehicles by making them harder to use

IRL systems like the rolands work on CLOS guidance. basically SARH tracking but instead of the work being split between the radar and missile seeker, the roland does all the work.
basically, the tracking radar tracks the target, and leads the missile in via radio commands that a receiver gets at the back of the missile. this is why you cannot chaff the missile nor notch ground radars.
its kind of ACLOS
SACLOS guidance is merely an override feature. not the primary guidance method.
Artificially nerfing them*

I think we should have a toggle between automatic and manual. Sometimes, would want manual if the particular muppet is sitting at tree top level. Sometimes, would want automatic, if a muppet was deciding to risk altitude.

Oh yeah, definetly if we get ACLOS we should get a toggle, but lets face it. We wont get ACLOS. But imagine Stormer HVM with automatic guidance, would actually slap.
But in the absence of ACLOS, I still dont understand why we dont at least get Radar-SPAAG style lead marker

We will need it at some point. It would also help to resolve a lot of the issues with Stormer and direct impact systems like it. Stormer would actually become usable sub 4km.
thats the reason that i thought of, but god forbid cas gets nerfed

It would, which is why we wont get it
I can dream 😿
Just like I’ll eventually get my Australian abrams in the British tree 😿
to be brutally honest. it is. by quite a bit actually. But this is isnt relevant to a discussion on ACLOS guidance being modeled

This is my argument behind we will eventually need it. At some point, only thing they’ll have left to do short of making more stuff up is properly model weaponry. At which point CAS will be scarier, and we’ll need more reliable kit.
Yep, I agree. Not against SPAA getting buffed, but so should CAS.
Looking at say 10.3 with the Stormer HVM getting ACLOS. Then Id say the main addition to buff CAS would be CBUs
CBUs need to be added so we can be accurate to the mig eater livery. Somewhat irrelevant to the discussion, but this is my personal crusade.
We have this:
But we can’t eat migs.

Pantsir already has it btw
With so many caveats to its use that unless you sacrificed half a dozen goats, it’s better of forgetting it exists 😿
How it is implementation is one thing.
Being implemented at all is another.
Gaijin should know it acts like SARH and give it to all relevant SPAA immediately

Manually guided makes them more lethal and easier to use.*
Artificial buff to them.
