Why are AI altitudes different from the ME?

Anyone know why AI doesn't like to fly at their assigned altitude?

 

Specifics:

-PG map

-Altimeter setting of 30.03

-AI F/A-18C Lot 20

-ME Assigned altitude of 15,000

-Aircraft flys at 14,000

 

Noticed this in another mission where they were assigned 19,000 and they are holding around 18,000.

Note: at 18,000ft Altimeter switches to 29.92.

Yeah, I realize (in the U.S.) the altimeter changes to 29.92 at 18k.. AI don't seem to abide by that however.

 

I set a bunch of AI aicraft at 1,000 ft intervals from 10,000 up to 21,000. They all seem to be between 150-200ft too low at 29.92 altimeter set in ME and on the gauge.

 

Another mission I have set them to 20,000 and they are all at 18,400.
