[WAD] Excalibur rounds target locations and not units.

HE Basebleeds when assigned via manual target, the shells will track them as they move across the battlefield.

Excalibur rounds will not behave like the HE basebleeds. When manually targeted they will target that specific location and not the actual unit. Please let me know if I am incorrect but I thought the Excalibur rounds were laser guided and should track a target.

This is WAD. The short version for the reason is "It's an abstraction good enough for Mech Commander and good enough for this".

Excalibur rounds are INS/GPS-guided, they are thus fired at coordinates and are unable to hit moving targets (except by supreme aim and chance).
