Fog (mist, haze, smoke, brume) interfere with blocking air targets on the active radar.
Active radar is a good indicator of the presence of air targets in any area of poor visibility. Active radar allows you to give a command for the AI arrow - switch to the target on the radar (the next active target). But the AA missiles are not blocked by radar targets when the target is not visually present. Changing the range of general visibility corrects the problem of blocking AA missiles for aerial purposes. Such a blockage of targets for AA missiles works well for systems without radar, for systems blocking thermal radiation. On systems with a radar there must be missiles blocking the target on the radar, without visual contact with the target.

Hey, thank you for the report.
If I understand it correctly the issue you're reporting is that the Titan AA is not able to lock targets (acquired by vehicle's radar) which are not visible.
Titan AA is a simple thermal seeker and can't home in on targets BVR or in poor weather conditions even if the vehicle's radar is capable of tracking them.

@oukej This is a very strange combination - Active radar + IR rockets.

Quoted Text
The guns are 90 calibres (3.15 m (10 ft 4 in)) long, with a muzzle velocity of 1,440 m/s (4,700 ft/s) (FAPDS—Frangible Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot rounds), giving an effective range of 5,500 m. The KDA autocannon can take two different ammunition types; the usual loading is a mix of 320 AA and 20 AP rounds per gun. Combined rate of fire is 1,100 rounds/min.
It is planned to create air defense systems, with active radar and missiles, guidance along the radar beam?
