Question: How do I make AI-flown AV8B engage me in air-to-air combat?

[Doc3908]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a Falklands-type mission in the Mission Editor: I'm flying an A-4E against two AI-controlled AV8Bs taking off from a carrier. I have the AI Harriers set with AIM-9s, and have tried using "Escort" and "CAS" as mission types (there is no "CAP" option for the AV8B). In either case, the Harriers refuse to engage in ACM and simply fly on straight and level even as I shoot them up. I've buzzed them, come in from behind, from the front, from above and below - the Harriers just ignore me. The AI is set to "veteran" on both planes. Is there another mission type where they will defend themselves and engage the attacker if provoked?

Thanks in advance for any ideas!
