Why are modern Anti Air Systems still manually guided

Reject computer, return to MCLOS

Override to fling missiles at things with radar off, automatic the rest of the time would be great

Okay, non-soviet nations, especially on lower BR SAMs like the Rapier and Stormer, won’t get ACLOS.

We’ll have to wait and see if something like the Skysabre gets ACLOS

Good luck getting ACLOS on the Rapier.

Yeah…

Not like you would need it if it was modeled correctly

Probably not, but still wouldnt hurt.

Either way, wont get buffed now it went down in BR

you can do this tho

That’s been informally suggested multiple times from what I remember.

I don’t remember any response from Gaijin for those suggestions though.

Worth a formal suggestion post to have them at least consider it for 30 seconds before moving on to something else.

A lead indicator that slowly moves closer and closer to the locked target based off of radar data would actually be pretty helpful to waste less missile energy.

huh?
fr?

i was sure u cant since ground radars dont need to have the PD that makes them ignore targets going perpendicular

Yep, they also introduced a feature where if something is very close or above you it breaks the lock, cuz why not? They said it was causing some issues.

that and the radar wobble they add artificially is pure bs imo

I know that. It is at least 2.5x greater than it should be. It is a global issue with all the radars in game, but it has to be reported for each radar individually…
For now i managed to do 1, and that one sits in a void. For sure WT system is fineeee…

so if im remembering right about the aclos its basically where you can fire 2 missiles have one guided by radar one by hand. if this is the cause that means both tors, s1, and possibly khrizantema-S (need someone to double check that as i dont have top tier russia)

ACLOS means that both tracking and guiding the missile is done without operator input. In game we have SACLOS, missile guidence is automatic, while operator track the target. Indeed all the thing you mentioned have ACLOS for missile fired at not primary target, but many systems should have ACLOS as their main mode. For example Crotale, Roland, Stormer, ADATS, in those systems all you would have to do is aquire the target and fire. The systems of the SAM would do the rest.
Ofc things like S1 and Tors would have ACLOS for all of their missiles too.
