What's up with the SPNKr? In the first game it couldn't lock on, in the second it could, but you had to do it manually, the third game it couldn't again, and then it could in 4 and Reach but you had to keep the reticle over the target. Is there any lore background to this?

There actually is. [quote]Though specialized missile systems were created for use against aircraft (cf. M79 MLRS), Misriah’s engineers found that simple targeting tweaks allowed the M19 to track the relatively slow Banshee when it was in ground-attack mode. This clever hack proved invaluable on many occasions![/quote]

Hmm. What about its apparent loss of said mechanism in Halo 3?

Gameplay probably.
