The JTAC does not give tasking to Viggens

[TLTeo]

I'm trying to modify the instant action tank-busting mission, but the JTAC does not give any tasking to the player flight. If instead one replaced the Viggens with Hornets (also carrying 4 Mavs), the JTAC behaves normally, so it's not due to mission editor settings or unit placement. I have also tried using different loadouts, but the result didn't change. Mission files attached.

What purpose would it serve to have the JTAC offer tasking to a viggen out of curiosity?

 

Just so they can lay smoke or something else? Send coordinates maybe?

Yep. Believe it or not, FACs and JTACs were a thing before buddy lasing.

 

For more context, I'm modifying most of the single and quick missions from the modules I own so that they are more complete, and so that they can be flown with different aircraft. Some of them are proper CAS missions with friendlies in close contact with the enemy (like the one above), so it makes sense to add a JTAC to guide the player to its target.
