I don't want lock ons in any capacity. I know there will be but I hope it is minimal and that lock ons won't be the primary means of taking down aircraft.
@Noodlesocks Aircraft have counter measures so lock ons would be fine

I would much prefer AA systems (and anti ground vehicle systems) that require direct player agency. Where the player is wholly responsible for the damage dealt to the enemy and the player is wholly responsible for avoiding taking hits. AA guns, lasers, things that require consistent aiming from the player.
