Why are TV guided missiles/ bombs not fire and forget anymore?

[Top Goy]

When a target is moving i have to keep my sight on the mig-27k on it in order for the missile to track the moving target. If i take my sight off it goes to the last location it was on

I think you are mistaking those bombs with laser guided bombs. Laser guided bombs or missiles need their laser on enemy till impact. Kab-500kr is TV guided bomb but Kab-500l is laser guided.

In my experience id say they got nerfed long time ago.

They always had issues at long ranges in locking on moving targets thou. But when you do obtain a lock the further away you fire the missiles the more likely it's going to loose track if you don't keep the lock to update the targeting for it.

The fire and forget method is more suitable when you target campers and enemy anti-air.
