Escort task doesn't work at all in multiplayer

[Maverick87Shaka]

It's look like the veteran Mission Editor are not surprised when I explained the problem on discord, but to me is totally unacceptable in a "combat simulator"
The problem is pretty simple, the escort fighter group doesn't engage at all when mission is hosted on multiplayer server. You can take a solid lock, and shoot down all the airplane that the escort has to protect, without any risk, end even start shooting at the escort itself that nothing happens.

If you start the mission in single player, it looks like it's a little better, at least they try at some point to react and shoot at you.

There is any plausible reason for that behavior? To me is something similar to the really old ( and solved ) problem of the ground AI that doesn't fire against each other on dedicated server.

Why AI still have to do different things when we're in multiplayer? What is the root cause of this difference? In most of the case ruins our squadron flight missions and destroy all the logic of our 24/7 servers.
