I wonder why these turrets are not able to automatically aim and fire. Is it that so difficult to aim and hit with algorithms on today's technology? The German Gepard could do it with 50 years old technology very accurately

Gepard is a radar controlled gun where you have everything from altitude, pitch and speed of target. This is just a sight and a gun basically.

I think remotely controlling a browning and automatic target identification and engagement are two wildly different things / problem spaces to be fair. You deploy what you can today.

Not meant as a criticismn but out of an engineering interest. I assume identifying and engaging can be manual without problem, if aiming and fireng then happens with automated precision. I guess that manual aiming is extremely inaccurate in such a setup, is it not?
